You guys get a touch bar and huge price hikes, my Alienware 13 r2 has an oled touch screen (Not to mention sales and dell gift cards). I think I was wise to leave Apple.
As Pro user Apple failed here big time. Too bad.
This was kinda ridiculous, I'm glad I didn't wait for this one. They're seriously still using DDR3 RAM? And the non Touch Bar 13" only has 2 ports?!
CTO maxed out a 15". Didn't see the LG 5K displays in the checkout though, only the 4K. Anyone know where those are hiding?
Still wish I were buying a Mac Pro today too, ce la vie.

Thanks for sharing!
I will never buy a sewing machine, so I think I'll go and find a sewing machine forum and let them know (that I'll never buy one).
I would rather have a slightly thicker laptop but with the storage user changeable.
I never thought I'd see the day but Microsoft's keynote yesterday was much better than Apple's. One keynote showed a company on the upswing and innovating, the other showed a company headed downhill.
In one word this event was lackluster .
No memory upgrade option at all for the 15 inch MacBook Pro, it is stuck at 16G. Nope not going there. 16G will never last until 2022 when they bring out the next upgrade.

Don't want to moan too much, but after all this wait...we still don't have a new iMac, or a new Mac Mini, or a new Mac Pro. The Macbook Pro is all-new, yes, but I don't know. I wasn't impressed.
Damn Apple have to rethink what they're doing, because Microsoft is coming for them, and coming fast!!

Really underwhelmed. And that Dj demo was stupid. Why not put Dr. Dre on the stage and show how songwriters and producers may benefit from this technique on Logic or Protools?
I guess they want you to do 10 finger gestures now... while you are also using touch bar.
Suddenly my "old" 2015 13" MacBook Pro is looking like a wise purchase.
Top spec in the U.K. Is over £4000..... ha ha ha ha!
Pricing is a joke. If u want to stay with Mac laptops I'll buy the previous gen second hand without a gimmick .

I have a late 2013 Retina Macbook that I bought brand new for about $1299. 2.4 GHz i5. The newest Macbook Pro (cheapest model) is going for $1499 and has a SLOWER (WTF) 2.0 GHz i5, less ports, and more SSD space but the cost of SSD has gone down in the last 3 years.
I've had iBook, Macbook, Macbook Air 11, Macbook Air 13, Macbook Retina 13" & this is the first laptop I will not be upgrading too.
It's not an update when the price goes up and the features are stagnant. Charging $300 for a touch panel is ridiculous also. That should have been part of the $1299 model.

They even said Starting at 16 gigs, they didn't say it was ending there.
All I was hoping for was 15" starting with 512GB SSD, some Thunderbolt 3 ports for future proofing and no price increase... oh well.
