He clearly loves it. I'm specifically asking why he's replacing his Skylake Macbook Pro with Kaby Lake one, as that sounds like an upgrade that wouldn't be worth the money.
Got a tip for us?

But but but the blogs said the processors were out. They never said with ones at which power levels or with or with out graphics. They just told me they were out and apple is fail for not putting them in the computers and then serve me up a windows replacement with a affiliated amazon link. / s
This is why people can not understand how intel really works
That's absurd. Plenty of people that have been griping about Apple's processor choices and timing of releases are aware of this and specifically point to it as their reasoning.
Go to Apple's Refurbished Store and you will find a 15" 512GB SSD system for $1,699!!
And you wouldn't complain if the iGPU-only model could only drive one 5K monitor? Promise?
I let my Guinee pigs test it out for me...and then I'll see what my wallet desire.

No, no, no, that cannot be. Everybody knows that Apple removed the iGPU-only 15" MBP model only to raise the price of the 15" MBP.
Doesn't surprise me. The response to the 2016 update was less than stellar so there is a fairly good chance Apple bought the refresh cycle forward. Also allows them the opportunity to adjust pricing down slightly without signalling they got it wrong.
Last November? Using the 15 W and 28 W Iris versions?
There are quad-core Skylake processors with Intel Iris Pro.
Apple did not chose to use them.
I wish the chips on the non-touchbar macs weren't so much slower than the touchbar models. The prices aren't that far apart. Feels like Apple is just punishing anyone who doesn't want their new touchbar.
Apple is never late. Nor are they early. They update precisely when they mean to.
Usually when someone insults & corrects a spelling mistake I don't reply for a number of reasons but in this case all I'll say is that I haven't left Apple, Apple left me. By underspec-ing their machines, their psychotic obsession with thinness, gimmicky "features" like the touch bar, mediocre software, complete abandonment of professional software and hardware etc. Apple is losing its pro customers by the day and it's clear that Apple doesn't give a ****.Man you're a real simpleton. Firstly you can't spell the word 'amateur', which I'm sure you meant in your attempt to be witty, and secondly, if you're worried so much about specs, move over to Windows. We'll see how that one works out for you
Which is newer than Broadwell
Which is newer than Haswell
Which is newer than Ivy Bridge
Which is newer than Sandy Bridge
Which is newer than Clarkdale

What? There are Skylake CPUs with Iris Pro. Even if there weren't, some people are happy to force on the HD530.
It says the Kaby Lake Mac Pros are shipping next month, but pre-orders open on the 15th. 6, 8, 12, 18 core models available, 8 Thunderbolt-3/USB-C ports, choice of space grey or jet black housing. Still no mention of an Apple branded display.
You should read up on production shortages for newly released processors. Same reason why the MS Surface line held back as well. If Apple or MS can't get enough processors to fulfill their demands the line comes to a halt. Dell has enough craptops to continue selling. Also they tend to raise their prices on laptops to slow down their sales.
