Stop forcing certain "upgrades" on us that increase the price tenfold. Give us the choice to skip out on certain upgrades while still gaining new features such as the touch bar, and not losing all the ports and magsafe.

Sure thinner is nice...but now theres 2 ports and I need adapters for everything..4 ports for the more expensive mac with the touch bar...I can't even plug my Iphone in without an adapter.

Can you take away the thinness and give me my ports back along with the price before it was drastically increased?

What I wanted was better battery life. 12-14 hours battery life would of been awesome. And then of course a minor spec bump and some cool feature like the touch bar. This is what I was expecting, and I was sold on this. I expected price to be the same...$1,299 starting price and then more if you want more storage.

Now turns out price is increased by an extreme amount and even if I don't care about the processor or graphics upgrades over the $1,499 mac...I still have to pay a $300 premium just to get the touch bar.

Speaking of $1,499 macs...Why can't I go back to having 128GB storage and pay $200 less? I have an external 1TB HDD that costs a small fraction of the $200 it takes to add an additional 128GB storage.

Just another rant about the new macs..
