128gb storage = embarrassing.
I seriously doubt any Apple executive would personally choose that model or recommend it to a family member or friend.

I don't disagree with that, just stating what apple has said in the past as to why.Or add one goddam millemeter of thickness and make the battery as robust as it was on the 2015 macbook pro. But I know, nobody would buy a laptop that ridiculously thick.
It really isn't. There's a reason Chromebooks and things are catching on, more and more people don't need to store all their media locally anymore (I know I don't).
We will not see anymore update to the notebooks until next year. How will current generation 15-inch MacBook Pro owners feel about another surprise update just 3 months later?
Don't forget that in the US the prices are without VAT. In Europe the prices shown are including VAT.Lucky Americans, the prices are the same for you guys. In EU, the "15 inch MacBook prices increased by another €150 (~$170). It also take 3-4 weeks to ship!!!
For me it's actually cheaper to buy a ticked to New York, buy a MacBook and go back home on the same day...
Not if you use your MacBook as a secondary computer, but it should be cheaper, the whole of the MBP line is expensive now.128gb storage = embarrassing.
I bought the 128gb version. I managed a law firm with my last machine, and rarely used more than 20-30gb locally. I was going to buy a MBP anyway, Apple just saved me $200. Just because your needs require a ton of local storage, doesn't mean that fits the need of every user.

Apple will not be ready for Coffee lake by October, trust me. Look for coffee in early 2018. They may even hold off till June at the WWDC.We will not see anymore update to the notebooks until next year.

Some people only need e-mail/Internet computer and for that 128gb is plenty. All the other storage options from the last year are available, so i do not understand your point.128gb storage = embarrassing.
Where are the $170 roundtrip tickets to Europe and back?Lucky Americans, the prices are the same for you guys. In EU, the "15 inch MacBook prices increased by another €150 (~$170). It also take 3-4 weeks to ship!!!

2017 is better in almost everyway
1) better cpu and gpu
2) better keyboard
3) proper 10-11hours
iPad Pro is catching up: 3832 single core vs. 4019 for the fastest 2016 13" MBP, and 9091 vs. 8001 for the fastest 2016 13" MBP. Sources: http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/3036382, https://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks
Does anyone know if Intel is working on graphene chips or quantum computing? This is getting crazy.
Edit: Looks like some more scores have been trickling in today: http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/search?utf8=✓&q=iPad7,3
New record so far: 3929/9372
It is, as is the $200 to upgrade to 256 and $400 to upgrade to 512, both of which I'm guessing costs Apple a lot less than $100. But then Apple's been price gouging on storage for years, so this is no surprise.128gb storage = embarrassing.

Releasing anything, especially a premium laptop with 128GB of storage in 2017, should be considered a crime.
That's exactly the biggest shortcoming of the 2016/2017 MBPs. TB3/USB-C exclusive might be understandable to configure a computers 5 years from now. At present, it cannot even be considered "survivable".And note that the $300 retina screen surcharge not only includes the retina upgrade. It also includes wider gamut, higher contrast, wider viewing angle screen (IPS vs TN). Plus TB3
Well obviously a MacBook Pro 13" isn't comparable to the top end iMac or the fastest server Dell makes, lol.Apple's secret is giving the macs gimped CPUs to make the iPad look good. Try the i7-7700k http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/3057739
And that's just a basic consumer CPU that's relatively cheap at $300.
Dell's fastest server clocks in at 83,000 multicore (using 4 high end Xeon chips). Just to show how great Apple is at keeping the bar low.
and 80% will be sad with the DonglesBook lolPeople will be 20 percent happier.
