woof, wasn't very impressed with that keynote - would have much preferred something with iMacs, but whatever.
That price is just ridiculous in Canada though.

USD/CAD is part of the problem. If you look at the USD prices, they are in the same range as the past 10 yrs.
What a freaking joke. So glad I bought my Dell XP 15 in Feb and didn't wait for this.
Skylake i7
16GB Ram
512GB SSD
4k UHD
Dedicated NVIDIA graphics
Edge to Edge display
All for less than 1200 from the Dell Outlet.
For what you're getting, these are still reasonable compared to similarly spec-ed quality laptops on the PC side.
For example, check out Dell XPS13/15 for comparison.
If you look on the Dell outlet you can find a 15 inch version of this(minus Kaby) for less than 1200 with Skylake I7.
lol no. And Dell also has sales while Apple doesn't
Lenovo P50 is the way to go:
---
Xeon Mobile CPU
64 GB RAM
HD/SSD Bay
2, yes 2, NVMe PCIe bays
4K display.
Pricing starts around $1400, fully loaded is around $2400.
--
Fully loaded MBP 15 inch: over $4,200
16 GB ram
2 TB non-upgradable PCIe storage.
There's going to be so many of us in the same boat it will probably capsize.So that means I'm passing on the MBP, but it also means I may never buy another one and that's what bums me out the most.
I used to upgrade almost every year when it came to iMac, iPhones, etc. As of late I have not due to price increases and next plan, I hate those. My iMac is 2 years old, phone is about 1 year old, MBP is over 4, etc. I'm just grateful that my iDevices are still in working condition.I'm not one to scoff at Apple's (considerable) prices, and that's exactly what I'm not doing right now either. They are never a big surprise. The next iMac is no doubt also going to be expensive.
It helps that I don't upgrade often, of course, and that money could be going towards far worse things than ease of use, the ecosystem and security.
I've ordered a 13" with touch bar...but with shipping at 2-3 weeks i'm going to have a while to contemplate this purchase.
On one hand, it is pretty much everything I want, but on the other hand, it is around $500 more than I was expecting to be paying for it. Absolutely insane pricing.
I currently have an early 2011 15" MacBook Pro thats been replaced twice now. Starting Graduate school soon, I thought about treating myself by upgrading to a new MBP. After looking at the base model 15" I closed the Apple Store page. Honestly, with Apple enthusiasts on this website putting off purchasing a new Macbook Pro due to the prices, I'm anxious to see how low the sells numbers are.
Anyway to get osSierra to run on a Dell or other PC? Way to expensive considering the slight increase in performance from my 2014 rMBP. Now if Apple had introduced a full retina touchscreen then it might have been worth upgrading.

I almost hit the buy button then my screen refreshed because I took too long. I just said forget it. I will sleep on this as well. My 2011 MBP 15 inch looks incredibly beautiful right now and my bank account. LOLUgh, those prices are a kick in the stomach! I was really hoping that they would keep them in line with the current prices.
Not gonna hit the buy button tonight. Gonna sleep in this one. Need 15" and 512 GB storage, so the top pre-built MBP 15 could be an option. But upgrading to 4 GB vram would be a clever option for the price.
BTO hmmmm......? Gonna sleep on this man!
Doesn't the new Surface book or whatever costs something similar to the new MBPs?
