I'm left going ... thank god I got a 2015 MacBook Pro with all the ports I need!!! I could NOT do my job with these portless macs. I do not care about dongles, they cost to much and get LOST!
I just realised I own the last truly functional Mac book pro. I'm going home to make sure it doesn't break any time soon- there are no reasonable replacements.
Apples service rev. up 30% and obviously the key to their future. They need to seriously consider starting to sacrifice some margin on hardware if they want that growth to continue by keeping us in the ecosystem.
Crazy money for these, such an easy pass. They could have easily made the entry 899.99 and gone up from there since they killed the Air model. So essentially they just did what the iPad Pro line up did.. add one new item.. call it Pro.. and shut down the smaller models that are non-pro.
Worthwhile! Wont' buy touch bar device until at least the next gen when the price drops, but still worthwhile. Would love to see new iMacs! TV is also becoming more compelling!
I'm at a loss to explain what i just saw. did they really just call in the media for a special announcement just to announce the touch bar and the tv app? seriously? did they even watch microsoft's announcement the other day?
microsoft went to town studying what Steve Jobs did in the past and Apple has forgotten.
just a monumentally underwhelming announcement.
i'm a huge apple fan but this is ridiculous. i'm so pissed right now
Was this possibly the most disappointing keynote by Apple?
I've joined Apple fan club just 3 years back, but seriously they cant possibly be that proud of a new touch bar?
Which imo isn't that great as for me at least it'll take the eyes off the screen to look at it, and to even reach it for my average sized hands.
The base model 15-inch MacBook Pro has "Radeon Pro 450 with 2GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching" as standard, so there's some good news about it. Too bad about the inclusion of the Touch Bar.
