Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[idark77]

New Macbook 15" in Italy... R.I.P. Apple

 

[ruigomes]

Ordered 15" base with 512GB SSD. Estimated delivery said 15-23 November if I recall correctly.

With student discount: A bit over 2700€

 

[PVisitors]

£1800 for a base 13" MBP w/ touchbar in the UK!!!

No chance Apple. That is astonishingly high.

 

[Stangy123]

you guys who are ordering with 8gb of ram are crazy

 

[Teague]

starting at 2700€ and with the sd card reader gone,

it's finally time to say goodbye.


Was a nice time here, anyway

I agree. Bye Apple. So disappointed in this. Time to start looking for an alternative.

 

[cap7ainclu7ch]

How long do you think before they upgrade to 32gb? How can anyone justify spending so much money for such a low end computer?

 

[ssong]

ordered space grey 13" 16GB RAM, 256GB... a day ago that money bought a rMBP 15" with dGPU

 

[IndigoDesign]

Seriously.
I might have to bite the sour apple,
but this was WAY underwhelming.
nice design. thats about it.

So now they have 13’ 2015 MBP, 13’ 2016 MBP and 13’ MBP with Touch Bar. I bit crowded lineup I would say

 

[mahcus36]

Education store is up too. still, 1700 is a lot of money for the base model 13 inch

 

[dest]

I'm really thinking about a maxed out 15" 2015 if they drop the price to clear them out.
I'm about £400 short for the new one I wanted

 

[MareLuce]

Why no 32gb of RAM ?

 

[augustya]

that tells me they ditched the HD580 for good, time will tell us

No but what's the case I really wanna know ? Does Apple have the 15" iGPU model or not ? or have they discontinued it from today ?

 

[dk808]

Its pretty f'd up how apple throws all these new graphics cards onto the macbook pro and dont even bother to go into detail

 

[fatboyhouston]

Feeling pretty good now about my decision to buy a used 2015 a few months ago. Don't mean to be a dick to the people buying today, but I'm glad I didn't save up for this. Apple are rich beyond imagination, and are still trying to mug us.

Well now, while the idea of the touch bar seems nice, and is growing on me, i have to say I am disappointed, no SD card, no magsafe, no tactile function keys (I have to look down to make sure I'm hitting he right f key) and they raised the price.

I guess that's one way to reverse the shrinking profits - raise the price.

I have to say, I'll be taking a pass on the MBP

Given whats on offer versus the pricing, it will be a hard call, gut feeling is to go with the new Surface Book with beefed up dGPU & battery as it offers significantly more utility for the price point. 15" MBP at this price should be equipped with a 512 SSD by default, then again Apple wants you to buy space in the cloud. The 512 is $2800, exactly the same as the new 512 SB with Power Base, the MBP can be spec`d with a 460 for another $100

The MBP was over priced previously, more so now, unless the Touch Bar can significantly improve my workflow and that very much remains to be seen.

Q-6

 

[Rob_2811]

At least that's an up to date computer, the 3 year old Mac Pro has just gone up by £500.

Hahaha. Absolutely shameless stuff.

 

[GZR]

Sooo. Longer battery life?

Probably.

 

[jazer]

just bought 15 maxed out (but 1TB) for 4k€. Oh boy... if my wife find's out, I'll get divorced.

 

[Teague]

How long do you think before they upgrade to 32gb? How can anyone justify spending so much money for such a low end computer?

Totally. No way am I forking out so much money for another low end machine.

 

[ocgirl]

Guys, there's also the apple care to add
Damn, entry 15 inch MPB 2700€ that's insane

I saved up more than one year waiting for the 13", now that it's here I'm doubting it ....

 

[groundcontrol]

I just checked for in-store pick up in the Toronto area - says available to pick up on Nov 25th at all area stores.

So a month away from owning one, if I bite now.

 

[meldea]

Just bought 2.7 15" with 512g and Radeon 460. If I have to wait I have to wait. Would have been nice to get it earlier. It actually showed shipping to your door quicker than in store

My configuration is identical, and going space grey.

 

[Lollo]

my god, I see people spending 4000 dollars in a click....

 

[ceedge]

looks like they kept the old style pro's around and just swapped in the TB3 ports. Still a bloody arm and a leg.
