Cheaper than M2 Macbook Air! Nice.

 

[erikkfi]

Just checking: Is this the MacBook Pro that the entire Mac fan community decided had no reason to exist when it was announced? That one?

 

[ghanwani]

Cheaper than M2 Macbook Air! Nice.

Yeah, it needs to be. Smaller screen, no magsafe, touchbar, 720p camera. It's sad that it's even called a Pro.

 

[BornAgainMac]

$599 with 500 gb and 16 gb ram would be nice.

Better performance, better battery life, Touch Bar is subjectively good or bad, your iPhone is a better web camera than what the M2 Air has.

The touchbar is so subjectively good that Apple chose to drop it...

Seems like they're clearing out the inventory before this model gets dropped.

Performance-wise, it seems to come down whether you want a fan or fanless.

Apple didn't release it to drop it a month later.

This is a great piece of technology. Love it!

yes yes they will drop after two months from premiere 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

Well, 3D Touch was good (even no annoyances for people that chose not to use it, unlike the Touch Bar) and apple drop it too. I still use a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar and im a bit frustrated that the only mbpro with Touch Bar is the one not receiving the screen and design updates.

 

[ILoveCalvinCool]

If only this machine didn't have a touch bar.

 

[darngooddesign]

The touchbar is so subjectively good that Apple chose to drop it...

The headphone jack is so subjectively good that Apple chose to drop it from iPhones and iPads...

Mac MagSafe was so subjectively good that Apple chose to drop it for over half a decade...

 

[ArrayDecay]

They can't hardly give these atrocities away.

They can't hardly give these atrocities away.

The 14" MBP is currently discounted $400.

or a slower SSD than the model it replaced

or a slower SSD than the model it replaced

The 512GB version is on sale and it has a faster SSD than the M1 it replaces.

 

[CalfCanuck]

Posted in the iPad thread earlier, but Costco has the base 14” MBP M1 on sale for $1599.99 and the base 16” for $2099.99.

Plus you get another 4% rebate with Executive membership and your Costco credit card. Not to mention 2-4 years standard warranty. (No BTO options though, always my biggest hang up).

Not a bad deal, would still go with the M1 Air over this.

 

[Take Flight]

Agreed - the whole reason it even still existed smelled of existing contractual obligations and/or milking every last dollar out of whatever interchangeable parts they still had left on the shelf for this 6+ year old device.

Not that it is inherently a bad machine, but seems like very little reason one would choose this over the M2 air or 14 in MacBook Pro.

 

[kyjaotkb]

Oh no it’s the one-external-display Macbook Pro.
I cycle to work and the 14” is a tad large and heavy. I would get the 13” at that price if it could connect to multiple displays.

 

[SFjohn]

The touchbar is so subjectively good that Apple chose to drop it...

Apple hasn’t dropped it. They are still selling these with TouchbBars for people like me that love the feature. Just bought one maxed out and it arrived today. I’m thrilled I’ll be able to use the TouchbBar for another 7 years.

 

[Rocko99991]

No Magsafe, no deal.

 

[SFjohn]

No Magsafe, no deal.

Nice that you have the choice now, so good for you! Obviously it wasn’t a deal breaker for me… 🤷
