Has to be one of the most embarrassing on-stage demonstrations. Tough to watch
Wait no one told me about the logo being taken off. That's it. They took it too far. I was willing to compromise on the other things but not this
Since Apple is now titling all their products with Pro moniker wouldn't it just be regular? Drop the Pro name unless it actually offers something different. This was probably their worst product refresh in a long time. Dual core procs, Intel Iris? Really... What's pro about that?
On the receipt it says that it ships with an "Accessory Kit" - i'm assuming this is a bundle of Thunderbolt 3 to display/USB/etc... adaptors.
Man some weird stuff at Apple....
With what Google has put out in the Pixel, I'm borderline ready to say screw it and ditch the Apple ecosystem. Because my phone, watch and computer all work together so well is why I keep them. But if the computer is going to be yesterdays tech at tomorrows prices while the phone hardware continues to trail with features, then maybe it's time...
- remove headphone jack on iPhone, keep it in Mac
- Move iPhone to one port but that port doesn't exist on Mac
- Lol @ those prices. Spec bump and a touch screen strip above the keyboard and BAM $2k.
- No magsafe
- No USB and this is somehow a "Pro" device?

Scrolling through the info and was looking for the same.
When there is no upgrade path, I save my $$ until I can get everythig maxed ot, but whatever we can tinker with.
Until I try this out in an Apple store, I won't comment on the touch bar.
Some posters make a good point that there should be at least a keyboard offered.
As for the keynote, yes underwhelming, but Apple operates in saturated markets and until that clog in the "best pipeline in years" is cleared we will just see step improvement as they have always done with existing products.
The Apple TV part was pathetic, but then I am not a TV addict and can still operate my remotes.
Lack of 32GB and inclusion of a touch bar gimmick don't help pro users get the job done faster.
And that's key. Looking back and forth between monitor and kb would suck and be a big slow down. I wish they'd concentrated on a wacom/ipad device instead if they can't do touchscreen. USB-C ports and nothing to really take advantage of them. Where's the graphics amplifier?
funny you say that... i just googled how much i could get for a kidney , and according to google it depends where you sell it, US black market will give you the most.
so earpods with lightning connector? = adapter...or wireless
mini display port (which also pc's use now) is gone = adapter for video projector for business meetings
hdmi - adapter
asf...

Nope, it's still for sale on the Apple website for the exact same price. That's Apple for you.
I agree. What is all that research going? The released the iPhone with less than one tenth of that budget :-/
To use a new MacBook Pro at work and on the road, I'd need an adapter for:
- USB wireless keyboard
- USB wireless mouse
- USB desk fan (yes, awesome)
- Ethernet (our Wi-fi is too slow)
- HDMI (external monitor)
- iPhone (charging overnight)
- iPad (charging overnight)
No wonder they scheduled this event so close to Halloween. Big Boo! on Capt'n Cook. Those prices are scary!
16gb 13" MBP is $2K+tax+apple care for a Skylake machine? Hellz no. Need Kaby Lake for hardware HEVC 265 decoding since there's no dGPU.
I would have been happier if they just threw in new processors in the old design with the old prices with old fat design 6 months ago.

You know it's a bad product when you can't find one die hard Apple fan trying to defend the new product. Universal disappointment.
sticking with my 2008 MbP. Apple really has been disappointing this year. Price points are outrageous for that much storage. 1-hour to talk about a touch bar? It really is the little things that annoy me that never would have happened under S. Jobs watch. 13" MbP naming convention is confusing. iPhone dropped space gray and a headphone jack so maybe streamline MbP's and offer the same black and 1 lightning port for your new headphones that work w. best selling product?
It was the only way to add storage (for things like iTunes libraries) without spending big bucks on proprietary SSD.
Also, it's not the $15 adapter cost I mind, it's the fact that I need AN ADAPTER!!
Yeah it is expensive. But personally the ssd is fine. Idk what your use case is though.
I swore I heard the LG Display was 5k but its a typical 4k display with TB3 for 699? Maybe a year ago.
Skylake core processors in 4Q 2016? At least go Xeon or get early access to Kaby Lake. Once again in the past few years Apple is late to the game. I really like the Touch Bar for video editing and it solves a lot of problems but not in the MBP package they are selling at the price they are selling.
Apple is an iPhone company and we should just accept that.

Microsoft must be feeling really good right now with their launch of Surface Studio a few days ago.
I have been waiting for several years to update my Mac Pro. I could never imagine I would ever buy anything but a Mac. Today I've decided to get a Surface Studio. All the innovation is happening OUTSIDE of Apple. They can't think their way out of a paper bag. Tim Cook sucks.
