New MacBook Pro Models Now Available for Purchase as Apple Store Comes Back Online

[WiseAJ]

Love ya Apple, but your SSD upgrade pricing is bs. You need to apply your iPhone storage pricing tiers to the MBPs.

I guess I'm now waiting for Kaby Lake MBPs and hope for a decrease and not another increase.

2950$ (2699.- EUR) for the cheapest MBP15 here in Austria ...good luck Apple

In the UK, high-end 15-inch is now £900 more expensive than late 2013 high-end 15-inch. I was so ready to replace my laptop, but not anymore.

I really wonder if the ergonomics of the touch bar is going to bite them in the ass. I find the track pad / trackman to work perfectly for me - having to reach up to the bottom of the screen for long sessions of editing - not so sure.

Another snooze of an event - Cook has to be the 100% most boring speaker that I have heard. Today he was always looking down for his talking points - almost like he was reading the same old crap he has spewed for years.

For those who aren't aware, but the MBP 15 inch model has always been priced around that much. My 2011 MBP was about 2500.00 with tax.

Anyone know if the store will get stock first or will the online order be faster?

The worst Apple event...

I mean, I wasn't expecting much, but I figured they must have been holding something back because they were throwing an event over what seemed like press-release material. And then they weren't. And I'm annoyed.

Like, the upgrades are fine, I seem to be alone in having no problem with where they're taking the MBP line. But we got to the end and I was like, "That was it?" What a letdown.

Laughing at the complaints about the prices of these when everyone was seemingly so impressed with the immensely more expensive Surface Book models just released yesterday.

 

[FilipeTeixeira]

THOSE PRICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do they accept body parts as payment?
Luckily a kidney goes easy for 200k so I might be able to buy a midrange macbook pro 15''.

Now seriously. Did they just go insane? Except for the macbook, which is still underwhelming when compared to the macbook air, there's nothing in between.

Hard to believe 256GB base storage on a $2400 machine. What were they thinking?

 

[OldSchoolMacGuy]

Who lot of crying about Pro models from people that aren't pro users in here. If you don't spend 4+ hours a day in pro apps, you aren't considered a pro user.

Real pros don't cry about the price because these machines help them get their job done faster and better. If these new machines shave a couple hours after their work in a month, they've paid for themselves even if they cost 2x as much.

I think at this point a dead Steve Jobs would run Apple better than an alive Tim Cook.

 

[Steve121178]

Me when I saw the UK pricing.

 

[AppleWes]

and...Purchased!

Well, at least they sold 1 so far! ...kidding kidding

 

[millypede]

Just saw the prices here in Germany. I'll get back to you when I stopped laughing.

Yep I will join you on that one, are they mental, that's worse pricing when the 17" PowerBook first came out and the exchange rate was even worse.

 

[forerunnerg34]

I think it looks ugly from the view, maybe the speakers, but it doesn´t feel right for some reason.

 

[jerm13]

Only 19 months until the next MBP.

 

[slagathor001]

It says it comes with a 2 meter USB C charging cable. I'm assuming its not a magsafe usb c cable?!?!

That #$^%$^ sucks!

MOST DISSAPOINTING APPLE EVENT IN MANY YEARS, period

 

[nymetsfan25]

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).

Well if you bought other products from the same company as said sewing machine, and had purchased previous versions of said sewing machine and were looking to upgrade, you very well might be posting on SewRumors.

 

[Hairball]

I like how Eddie Cue was wearing a Nike Apple Watch. When was the last time that guy exercised, other than moving his finger to order more takeout?

 

[thekeyring]

First event I've been disappointed by. Was hoping for a new Mac mini.

 

[Cayden]

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.

I really like the new tech, but I think the tiering is dumb. Basically puts a $300 price tag on the Touch Bar. If they believe so strongly in the new way to interact with your laptop, offer two sizes and put it on both. I felt the same way about Force Touch on iPhones.

I'd also appreciate those nifty i7 quad core processors in a Mini.

 

[Cwolk]

Do I get space grey or silver??

Hard to believe 256GB base storage on a $2400 machine. What were they thinking?

Most pros don't use much onboard storage anyways. 256GB is more than enough for the OS and apps. All other stuff like photos, video, etc, is all stored on external in the vast majority of cases.
