I would choose totally different laptops than these presented as "competition". I would go for thinkpad. So such statistics makes little sense if it doesn't include real competition.
Got a tip for us?

When I switched from my 2013 MBP to the 2016 MB I was worried about only having one port, but seriously, until you use it, it's not that big of a deal! 
Give it a try everyone. Buy something different on a sad day like today.

You can use statistics the way you want to. Think a little before you lick up this article.
Apple is like a sibling that you love but also have to give a hard time to.
This time, well done Apple !! Congratulations on creating a hit.

99% of statistics are manipulated ...like mine
They didn't release a new MBP in well over a year and the competition still sucks. What else are people supposed to do?
I was going to replace my 2011 MBP 15" this year but decided against it when I saw the new models. But clearly there are a lot of people who just couldn't hold out any longer. Time will tell if this is just initial demand or an indication of real success.

Too expensive they said
No one will buy it they said
It does not even have SD slot they said.
But at least it have the 3.5mm jack...... they said.

Disappointed, but not surprised. But the bubble balloon will burst sometime. Better sooner then later. Then Apple can continue to innovate instead of just selling us old mac enthusiast bare boned products.
Haters what happened? I thought this was the worst launch ever.
I got to play with one yesterday. The touch bar is pretty neat. Those who dismiss it should really look into it. I played with iMovie and using the bar to scrub and the tools is inventive.
Don't knock this one quite yet. Plus I added every filter I could on a HD movie clip (multi gigabyte file) and it never studdered and rolled along without a hitch. The 15" model is pretty powerful with 16gb of ram but base level processor. Very impressive.

If this makes Apple see computers as a valuable part of their lineup, I'll take it. Now update the rest, please (and Intel get your ass in gear and get Kaby Lake out the door)
I like the new MBPro. The specs on the higher end ones are great, thunderbolt 3 is cool as hell. That touch bar, though. Ugh.

If I was in for a new computer when push comes to shove I just couldn't go back to a windows machine
They trusted the exit polls.
Why would anyone buy this neutered, overpriced AMATEUR laptop?
It is the worst Apple-Product in relation to Value-Money ever (of the last 10 years at least)!
I wonder how it does compared to Dell XPS, which seems to be quite a popular PC alternative.
Well, these buyers obviously aren't PRO

1) OSX
2) Had the money
3) Needed a new laptop
4) I actually like the new keyboard (!!)
5) Base Model + 16GB RAM works perfectly fine for me
6) Actually wanted a lighter-weight MBP
7) My use case might not match yours. That's okay, though.
If they are basing this on revenue, then perhaps you need to divide it by 4 to get the actual number of unit sales. That would be a more accurate representation against the competition.
If today has taught me anything, its that I should never trust exit polls
Can you imagine what a new line of Macs would do for Apple??
I was never negative about the MacBook Pro, rather that Apple surrounded it with a pile of air instead of a bunch of new Macs.
