WOW..>WOW...WOW, the price for MPB fully loaded...4199.....WOW.

you can buy a number of drivable cars with that money.

 

[greenmeanie]

I think they can drop the PRO off all laptops with those specs.

 

[Mailia]

I hope Thunderbolt2 accessory prices will come down more now.

Maybe when they sell the outdated stock.

 

[oopsroger]

I hate to admit, the Microsoft products announced yesterday are slick...but they run Windows.

Just give it time. Apple will ditch macOS.

 

[BornAgainMac]

I stepped away for a few minutes. Wow, no MacBook Air update. I can see Apple just selling a 13 inch MacBook Pro and a 15 inch and that is all. 2 Macs only. This sucks.

 

[C. Cole]

No 32GB option at all...

 

[Since1987]

No Imacs? No Mac Pro??????? Seriously????

It's over. They don't care. Apple in 2016... AppleTV is important. Computers are a "hobby". How the mighty have fallen.

Just thinking about what the Apple Spaceship will look like after it's been converted to an apartment building. Cook, Ive, and Ferengi have absolutely driven Apple into the ground.

I use my laptop docked to a monitor, why isn't there a standalone keyboard with the OLED?

They would have to charge like $500 for it and even they don't have the guts for that haha.

 

[canucksfan88]

sweet jesus those prices...
I was slightly debating upgrading my 2013 rMBP this morning...but not anymore.

On top of that, the amount of dongles needed (mini display port, usb, hdmi)...no thanks

They are simply showing us pro users that they expect us to use laptops as our core work machines. Granted they are nice and all, but their not a good choice for everyday workhorse machines. If they truly cared about the desktop macs they would have made a touch bar enabled keyboard to bring that experience to the desktop users, or they would have at least spec bumped the mac pro which they haven't touched in 3 YEARS! If all of this hasn't convinced us pro level users that the desktop macs are simply apple's bastard child, then the fact that they touted the new LG branded display as desktop/laptop combination surely will.

pro does not equal your pro. there are many pros out there doing different pro things.

Okay this was awful. Thankfully I can still sell my macbook and go back to windows. I have a windows pc so it shouldn't be too hard.

Apple is gone now. Good luck with ios

What, really, were you expecting? We have gotten to the point where computers, be they phone-based, tablet-based, laptop-based or desk-top based are about as good as you're going to get, without a huge shift to some yet to be developed new technology in computing power, battery, screen, storage, case materials, etc.

Personally, I am not impressed by the touch bar, and instead think Apple should have just turned the trackpad into a screen trackpad, but the thinner, lighter and less volume rMBP, better screen and new updated ports is certainly enticing, in my opinion.

I do understand why Apple is not going to turn the screen into a touch sensitive thing, because it's just a really bad ergonomic design for moving hands from the horizontal plane of the keyboard to the vertical plane of the screen (even if Microsoft keeps pushing this idiotic technology). But the thin touch bar doesn't seem quite right to me, although my opinion may well change once I've tried it live.

 

[xgman]

Why are we still maxed out at only 16gb of ram?

 

[daveak]

No 5K screen available in the UK store, only a 21" 4K.

For those who missed the keynote, here's a recap.

Cook: "Hi. Mandatory 10 minute rant about iPhone sales figures. We've got something amazingly incredible to show you and we think you're gonna love it in an amazingly incredible way. First up, Apple TV. Here to tell you more about it is Jen Folse."
Folse: "Hi so we took all your TV stuff on your Apple TV and put it in an app and called it TV so now you can watch all your TV in TV on your Apple TV on your TV and your iPad."
Cook: "Thanks. Now, the Mac. Here to tell you more about it are three warts with Phil Schiller attached."
Warts: "Touchbar touchbar touchbar touchbar touchbar. Here to tell you more about the touchbar is the only funny and non-annoying one of us, Craig Federighi."
Federighi: "Hi! Warm-up joke, touchbar, touchbar, joke, touchbar, touchbar, touchbar, touchbar. Can we get Warts on stage and borrow the finger of that guy who's attached to them?"
*Warts fingers stuff*
Federighi: "Nice fingering."
Cook: "Touchbar, touchbar, touchbar, amazingly great incredible thanks bye".

the keynote showed 2.6Ghz standard and 4GB Video standard, but that's not true. it's 2GB video standard. And 2TB is +$1200

 

[SeaFox]

Wow, this place is full of cry babies.
The funny part is that almost all of you will still buy it.

Just like every year with the iPhone.

Must be a forum full of masochists.

 

[Gudi]

Well guys, that was a bit disappointing if I'm honest.

My thoughts:

- Keyboard: if it's the same as the MacBook: GARBAGE

They call it 2nd-gen butterfly, so it's not the same. Could you at least try it out once before you declare it to be garbage? Much appreciated.

 

[Lax1085]

did they mention battery life?

 

[Altivec88]

What a Joke. Nice MacBooks but what are we suppose to get to replace our broken and aging desktops. No MacPros means we are out. We will be starting to switch our software to PC effective immediately. This means no more desktops, no more laptops, no more iPads, no more iPhones. Best of luck Tim. Liked you at first but you killed the Apple I've loved for over 32 years now.

 

[mscice]

2600.- € with 16gb ram and 1tbssd its a bad joke, still waiting for new macbook airs

there will be no macbook airs?

[McScooby]

When folk said they wanted a 4K MBP they weren't talking about the price, you think misunderstood?

 

[zioxide]

Can't believe they ditched MagSafe..

The MagSafe is trash though. How can anyone enjoy fiddling around with th damn thing for 15 seconds every time just to get it to charge.
