I don't see it on Apple's site. I think the touch bar looks great, to be honest. Looks like the Air is done, which makes sense with the 12 and entry-level 13-inch MacBook.

They should, at the very least, upgrade the MacPro processor and graphics....how hard can that be?
As for the iMac 5K, I bought on last year...the only update it would need is processor and graphics....mine from last year still runs incredibly well.
 
What a bummer... storage is fixed to logic board !

Well.

Hardware in 13" slightly disappointing.

Don't really care about the ports. Anticipated adapting.

But. IDK, the pricing is wrong, and I'm not psyched about picking on up? I wanted something to replace my 5+ year Air and keep me on Mac OS. Windows 10 is annoying, but it's still leagues better than 8 and I use it frequently.

I want to continue in the Mac software side of things, but I'm just not thrilled with the hardware they're offering for this. The restrictions on the processor and graphics on the 13" range while M$ puts out some of the best stuff they ever had and competition from Razer just... makes me consider hackintosh laptops for the first time in a while.

Why is this so difficult?
 
I guess it's in our nature to complain. I grew up with Apple as as a computer company. It hurts to see they spend so much time talking about a touch bar, when they could've revealed a:

- next gen iMac
- next gen Mac mini
- next gen Mac Pro
- 14" MacBook

*sigh* I guess we will just have to face the fact that the old Apple will never be back.

Edit: also, **** Intel and their Dual Core U processors. I really hope AMD will stirr up this piece of the market by introducing 28W quad core Zen's.
 
Thinner butterfly keys, larger trackpad, touch bar... how many generations before the bottom half evolves into a full flexible touch screen?

Also, anyone wondering how pro app developers will treat the Touch Bar given that their app still has to work on all regular Macs that don't have that little gimmick?
 
Huge trackpad. 1st gen touch bar. Few specifics. No more dual GPUs? Is the screen IGZO? Too pricey. New buyers better purchase AppleCare.
