Yeah, I accidentally closed a pop-up that said "claim your free MacBook Pro now!".
Now I have to spend the rest of the day trying to get it to pop up again, or I'm going to end up paying full price.
Holy crap!!!!!
I literally thought you were just funning...
EDIT:
They seem to have "fixed" the pricing.
Yes it last about 10 minutes if I remember right. I ordered three. Two have been cancelled. One still activate. Hoping they will atleast honor one per customer. It was first posted on SD. I imagine if they only honor one per account it would only be a couple hundred at most. Im sure some people covered 10, 20, 50 etc for resale.
That's awesome. I really hope they honor it!
Omg, that will IMMEDIATELY become your favorite computer ever, lol.
Who doesn't love a bargain?!
Especially if it's a happy accident.
If enough customers passed on these 2016 MacBook Pros, as well a brief note to Mr. Cook why, it would be full on consternation in Cupertino and all hands on deck.
My guess the number of truly disaffected will not be sufficient for that. Too many others, likely, dazzled by shiny new trinkets. Shame, as it would be best to put a stop to this train wreck before fully realized.
Those forecasting the slow and possible eventual end of the Macintosh line could be prescient. By the time it comes to that Apple could truthfully say the numbers are simply no longer there, perhaps wondering why. But the loyal who cared and really needed this competency had long since left. Self-fulfilling death by bad design.
That is already in progress today, to an extent.

" I am going to get my Pumpkin Spice Latte at my favorite Starbucks, wear my UGG's and send emoji's to my girls by my amazing touch bar and my iPhone 7, that my dad bought it for me." - Apple's new customer base favorite puns.
Still think that sales will be affected that they will accept their mistake ? Their new customer base loves them and follows them to oblivion.
