The Internet is nauseating at times. It's a great time to be alive if you love technology.
The new machines are lovely. Clearly not good enough for The Internet, though. Should have had year-long battery, clean the house, tie your shoes, take you to work, and cost nothing.

I think you have to read my posts again to understand what I said about the function keys. Also not worried about other PC makers. I was waiting for this maker for a very long time and all they did was speak about touch bar for an hour.
I find that hard to believe???
I just went to the Brazil Web site and The price for base 15" is 11,499 BRL which works out to $3635 USD. Yes there is huge price increase. I would suspect someone in the receiving department in Brazil is taking a cut.
Buy last years refurbished while they are still available. Same warranty, looks new and works. PLUS quite cheaper too.

The touch bar seems kind of small to me from watching the demo but I have big hands. I can already envision me accidentally hitting the wrong "smart" functions it so I think I'll pass.
The 2.9 GHz, 1TB, 460 Pro should have been the default high end config for 2799$. With an option for 32 or even 64 GB of RAM. Instead the thing is nearly 4000 CHF here. That's nearly 25% more than the last high end model. And then you need a dock in order to be able to even connect a mouse.
I'm gonna wait for the next revision that'll have ironed out the bugs, have more RAM and Kaby Lake chips, which means integrated TB3 in the die.
Buying a computer that tops out at 16GB today in the hope of keeping it for another 3-5 years is rather optimistic.

Good comment.
In my opinion, this keynote is definitive proof that Apple need a new CEO.
Sure they'll "give" us 32GB, they'll also just increase the computer by another 300-400 dollars for that pleasure.
Touchbar wireless/USB keyboard?
for those of us who use large external displays, keyboards, mice, or MacPros

Nice looking! They are breaking tradition and moving the touchpad to the right side. Boy just think if Apple had done that, the wailing and gnashing of teeth would have been heard around the world.
Yep if one doesn't care about OSX there are some really good alternatives and at equivalent prices.
And that gives it a repairability score of zero... Apple sure got greedy on this one. I'm kind of upset.
For those complaining about how Apple spent an hour talking about the new Touch Bar... What did you honestly expect? It's a laptop. It has a display, a keyboard, mouse, battery, hard drive, processor. You can learn everything you want to know about that stuff in about 5 minutes - it all boils down to simple numbers. The OS isn't changing right now... did you miss the time a few months back when they spent an hour talking about all the new features they introduced this year in that?
Apple is going to spend their time talking about whats new and what sets them apart from others. In this case, that's the Touch Bar. Don't like it? Then don't bother watching the keynotes, just wait until they're done and look up the spec'd on their website. You'll be happier, get what you want, AND save time doing it.

The clearest indication to me that's its not just Tim Cook is Phil Schiller, throwing in 2 displays and two Pegasus 3 raid arrays as an editing solution for "professionals" on a rMBP. No matter how powerful a laptop becomes, it cannot compare to a Professional workstation. Not only are they hawking overpriced Apple hardware but they are getting paid to do the same for LG and Promise.
