RIP MacBook Air
RIP Apple backlit logo on the back of the screen.

We knew it was just MacBook. But they announced one product. ONE.
exactly. . . silliest thing to say ever. "Here's our new products and they are worse than what we have made before." \s Ugh.
Where on earth was the sorely needed MagSafe-type USB C adapter. What a missed opportunity...
So disappointing for me. Nothing exciting was showcased. And where was the iMac upgrade?
Of course not, this is Apple... they don't give a damn about professionals or even prosumers. You should probably start thinking about switching over to a PC or at least building yourself a hackintosh.
iMac?
Mac Pro?
Mac Mini?
What the hell was that Apple? You spent nearly half the time talking about iPhones and a bloody Apple TV!

Lolol those prices.
The base 13" MBP WITHOUT TouchBar went from $1,299 yesterday to $1,499 today. FOR A YEAR OVERDUE SPEED BUMP!
What are they thinking?

That's it, not a single update to any of the desktops? Makes it damn hard to believe that "The Mac is so incredibly important to us" comment.
I agree it was a pretty weak demo. They didn't introduce anything I wanted to have. I was thinking they might update the iPad, but they didn't.
Well, Apple... It's been a nice run.
Hope you don't miss my money too much.

Competitors are building amazingly thin "Ultrabooks" and Apple can't even be bothered to upgrade the MacBook Air to a Retina Display? 
I don't know what I was expecting, but I'm pretty sure I didn't get it.
I'll keep my 11" MBA, obviously, since there's now nothing that portable left in the lineup. Whether I replace my 2014 15" MBP depends on hands-on with the new iteration, but neither the hands-on nor purchase will be happening anytime soon.

WATCH this is going to become like the mac mini where the old model on eBay will cost more then the new one
The touch bar is kinda cool, I could see that being useful.. but devote an entire hour to it? are they kidding me? that should have been 5-10mins at best.
Why aren't they updating the entire Mac lineup?

Oh there is plenty of them already in hands of consumers. Like Dell XPS, Asus ZenBook UX410, HP's Spectre x360 etc.
So MagSafe, one of my favorite features on the MacBooks is gone?
Ridiculous $2400 starting price for a laptop? I don't care what pro moniker you are using, apple but seriously 4 usb-C ports, a gimmick touch bar, larger touchpad, GREAT touchID (finally), but seriously the prices are ridiculous.
Step up your game and make a full touchscreen mbp. This is nearing end of 2016 and yet not one single mbp has a touchscreen. All these touchbar focus is just absolutely horse-sht because if you think about it developers will have to develop to use that touchbar anyway so why dont' they just develop for touchscreen adoption as well.
If you cannot see how much of an illusion this is you really have too much money to spend. There is really nothing justifying the costs of these new mbp's!
Now I would have to carry a bunch of dongles around. There are times I wish this company would get hit financially so they can bottom out and rethink for their customers. The loyal ones are the ones who are suffering.

The TouchBar is kinda cool, but one demo and a video would have been sufficient. An entire event was unnecessary.
