Well, my point does not in any way relate to the whether or not their computers are the "best selling on the market by far". Secondly, are they?
It's standard practise for Apple to not have display units for any product until the day they're first available to customers, so that should be tomorrow. For example, Apple never has the iPhones available to examine in the (short) period between them being announced at the iPhone event and the launch day (which coincides with the day they're first delivered). Can you imagine how much of a thief magnet they would be if they did?
It's a little bit semantic but I don't think Apple uses the term "released" in their official communications and the Apple shop was wrong if they did. They announced or "launched" them but only estimated the shipping date.

Which one were you looking for? All the Apple Stores I've passed by near me have the 13" non-touch MBP on display. That is the only one to-date that was release for sale. The others were announced but not on sale yet. The only product I know of that Apple displayed before it went on sale was the Apple Watch. The touch bar Macs should be on display later this week I'd imagine.

Looks great. Would be nice if they decrease the price eventually, as I plan to purchase one. But that won't be until July or August 2017 when I head off to college.
Guessing we'll see online stores start to discount a bit once the early adopter orders have been filled. That is typical of most Macs now.
Is that the 13" Touch Bar model?
Good thing with Apple is you always have a free trial period. But it sounds like you're pretty invested.
Put it this way. The last major change in serial bus interface was 18-19 years ago. It just sucks in those first couple of years. USB-A wasn't that popular until Apple put it on the original iMac. Then it became the standard. USB-C has even more weight behind it. But I'm going to be happy to wait for a revision or two.
Really? I thought that always looked rather classy. I mean, you paid all the money for a Macbook Pro and not one of these imitation PCs with a copy-cat aluminum enclosure. Why not display it?
By what measure? In 2015, Apple was 5th behind Lenovo, HP, Dell, and Asus. Lenovo alone shipped almost 3x more units than Apple. It's the same story in 2016 according to the most recent Gartner numbers from last month, where Apple was still in 5th worldwide, and fourth in the USA (behind HP, Dell, and Lenovo). Even if total Apple shipments were to double due to the new Macbook Pro, they would still be 4rd worldwide.
Amen to that. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
Got mine!
UPS driver said "I know it was scheduled for 1:30pm but I figured you wanted it ASAP."
Duh! iTunes Gift Card for you, Sir!
Any cases available yet??

I just realized, one of these days the entire space below the keyboard will just wind up being trackpad. Why the hell not.
(If not a touchscreen!)
That dongle looks like it's ruining your life!
I get mine on Wednesday, but still deciding whether to keep it or return for the no-TB version.
Please post your battery life results—that's the main factor that will determine my decision. i.e. is the probably-only-marginally-useful TB + TouchID worth the likely lower battery life?

I would too if I wasted that much money.
Has any one ever noticed that those who dislike things them most also complain the most, and at the same time act like those who like things a lot have something wrong with them?
Kind of reminds me of last Tuesday and the rest of the week.
Yes we all get it, you don't want to buy the new MBP version for what ever reason.
Much better than an emoji.
They can't afford them, if they had the money to buy one they wouldn't be so negative
There was a day when they'd follow up each product announcement with "Available Today", and that was exciting, for sure. But I suspect that the logistics have changed. Technology is more advanced. Manufacturing and distribution is much more complicated given the complexity and sheer quantity needed. Remember that they are launching new and more "points of sale" every day around the world... and each location increases demand. It's an ever-growing problem, so the sacrifice is immediate availability, I believe.
Why dangles and not new leads? Serious genuine question. For equipment that I want to connect to it I've just ordered new leads, so much neater, it would be different if I need to connect them to different machines, but I don't. Other people will have different needs I know, but for most they will need to connect a printer, monitor, external drive, maybe a graphics tablet, and their phone. Sure it's not cheap buying the leads, but a better end result I say.
I could not agree more.
People are constantly whining about apple's lack of innovation because they don't offer the old ports of yesteryear, as well as none of the latest nvidia graphics cards etc... However Apple is the only one who dares to leave old standards and switch entirely to new, better solutions. If nobody was as dedicated to this as apple, then nobody would lead the crowd towards innovation.
Now that's what I call innovation but I know 90% of people in here would strongly disagree with me.
