Jesus!!!!! In the U.K. The maxed out 15" Pro is OVER FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS!!!!!! And you can't add any memory to it, their is no option, what you get is it, period, they even charge you ninty quid for 2 more gig of video ram! It's like the iPhone and iPad storage pricing!

Absolutely crazy, the I think the iPad Pro is a MUCH better value product from Apple. I don't think I can ever buy another Apple computer though, they may as well just not make the back removable at all, just weld it shut.

I don't need it but that new Surface Studio is looking very cool...

So, I really need a new laptop. For those who have switched over to Microsoft, or have seen the Microsoft event yesterday, what would you recommend as MBP 15" replacement? Need it for intense design, and some after effects and video work.

Like someone suggested, look at the Dell XPS15, but I'd also recommend the Razer Blade Pro

Why can't they make an app to make your iphone or ipad a big touchbar to control, or put the touchbar below the keyboard? This just looks so uncomfortable and gimicky.
Not to me, this looks very comfortable. Much better than making the whole screen touchable.

Man so my two TB displays are rendered obsolete - unless there is some magical adapter for me to use that adapts to USB-C. So let me see...

2x magsafe adapters
4x usb port adapters
2x thunderbolt display adapters

And a $3500 machine without taxes or AppleCare?
 
One good thing came from the keynote:

Craig had a Phil Schiller "cant innovate my ass moment" -- "great finger play, Phil!" will be used and abused on the internets like Tim Cook "doubling down"

it was free too, minus maybe a bit of our time
 
Maybe Apple's plan is to just disappoint their computer customer base to the point they switch to Windows so they can focus solely on phones ... and watches ... and ... cars. :confused:
Yup lets piss them off with updates every few years, and then when we FINALLY make those updates we'll Apple tax the hell out of them. That outta keep customers happy. Oh how I miss Steve's Apple.
 
I think his point is apple did NOTHING this time only made usability go backwards and increased the price.
If that makes you happy then please let me know what are you smoking.

Improved specs, Touch ID to unlock, a new input device. Yeah, "nothing".

I'd like to see it cheaper too but it is what it is. This is why they make company credit cards.
 
What are some similar macbook pro 13 inch replacements under 1300?
Good battery life, Decent gpu, good design...? Microsofts surface book is $1800 lol
 
I hate Windows. I have of designers who hate Windows. But how the hell can I justify spending this extra $$, plus adapters up the [pci slot], still Haswell it looks like, & slightly better graphics card. Also, anyone else see Applecare listed for this thing anywhere?
 
From now on, the only Apple product I will buy is Put on AAPL
Yeah, this is the first time I'm pretty confident that Apple has completely lost direction. iTunes has done nothing but get worse, iPhones haven't impressed. I don't think their next phone will be all glass like the render getting passed around. The next generation is all about VR and AR and none of the equipment Apple is putting out is powerful enough to run real VR like the Vive or Oculus or even the PSVR. Their value is going to plummet in the coming years.
 
No iMacs or Mac Pros?!?! The company is clearly running on the last remaining fumes of Steve Jobs's genius. It won't be long now. RIP Apple!
I swear to effing God that Ferengi is on the Microsoft payroll. Apple doesn't even make computers anymore. They have ABANDONED the market just like they did with Final Cut Not Pro eX. Microsoft is popping champagne bottles right this very second.
 
Today's event was a waste of time, one product received a minor upgrade to go with a glossed over spec bump. So much left unanswered while Twitter, Adobe, and some stupid DJ got trotted out to sell crap.

Kinda glad I bought the Air 13 for $799 at Best Buy in August... I figured there wouldn't be a refresh and it works for my needs. I thought about waiting for a new PRO also, but this is way overpriced!
