1,499 without the touch bar is just ridiculous, as well as offering the old mbp without any price drop or update.
Got a tip for us?

I do not know who can use a 256GB laptop. I do not have lots of photos, but everytime I back up my iPad and iPhone, my laptop is always full. With 512 or 1TB the price will be so expensive
You should be storing data on two externals: one has a primary, the second as a back-up. A 256GB boot/application drive is plenty storage. I have a 512GB drive in my 2014 MacBook Pro, and I have 406GB available with no shortage of graphics and photography applications and fonts loaded onto my machine.
The prices in the uk are just extreme. I think Apple are going for the high end less volume for all their products. They are seriously retreating to the high end.
The "air replacement" starts at over £1400! But a 13 inch air is like £900?? That's crazy.
The iPad HAS to become the computing platform for the masses because most people can't afford this stuff anymore. I think Apple need to be careful because if young people can't afford your platform how do you gain the loyalty going forward?

I'm with you 100% on this. I would have pulled the trigger. Wish it was upgradable like the imac.
$2,000 for a 13'' with only 8GB RAM. LOL
As you wish.
1) No more Mag Safe = a step backwards
2) Only USB-C ports = too soon. Even your "revolutionary" iPhone 7 still ships with a USB type A cable, Apple, or did you forget?
3) Overpriced. Even for an Apple product.
No thanks. I'm glad I got the last gen MacBook Pro.
The price is literally insane £2349 for the 15" compared to the 'old' 15" at £1499. I expected £100-£200 more.
As much as I love the MBP the Dell XPS looks a better buy for the price to be honest or the 'old' 15" MBP.

sad to say... but my next laptop looks like it is going to be with Microsoft Windows.
Not going to pay these insane prices

Nice computer for the 10 people who can afford it. The rest of us will have to kick back and use our older devices.
No USB, no SD Card Reader, NO TOUCH BAR on the base model and 1.999 Euro for the "mid range" laptop in the year 2016 HAHAHAHA
My gosh Macbook Pro 15" 2,9GHz model cost 3199 € in Europe...
looks like Apple didn't have enough "courage" to get rid of the headphone jack
Cue the worshippers with blinders comments.
I started this out skeptical but ready to buy since my current MacBook Pro is the 2012 model. I can pinpoint the exact moment they lost me ... 256GB storage on a "professional" machine in 2016. And hey, only $400 to upgrade to the same SSD storage I have right now.
Pricing is INSANE. It actually looks like a nice machine, but $1800 for the base model 13" w/ touchbar? And 256 gb at that price? Are they nuts?
Severely let down on price point. This really concerns me for Mac/Apple going forward.
Apple is being run by a bean counter instead of someone who actually cares about the end user. They could stand to make a little bit less on MacBooks right now. I'm still probably going to blow somewhere between 2k and 2.6k on one tho. So....I think they are being a little bit greedy.
This is just pure unadulterated greed at this point.
I guess you missed the presentation showing effortless 4k video editing with the "joke" 16GB RAM.
Ummm I think Tim being greedy is also contributing here, it's not just Brexit.
Everyone around the world is getting shafted price wise of these and they are not part of Brexit, this is apple greed
Unless I'm missing something, I can't upgrade the RAM past 16GB? My first gen retina has 16GB of RAM...I wanted at least an option for 32GB
I will not be buying a laptop this year. UK Price for the spec I was looking at £3,329.00 Crazy . I paid £2200 for my maxed out model a few years ago. Apple have failed big time in my book.
