Not at all. If you remove the VAT it is actually cheaper than the US. I'll probably get mine from the UK
My Q was: Is the touch bar OLED or not?
Where did you find this info? On Apple page? Can you post a link

To those who have missed out on the event; to summarize:
Previous base 13-inch model: $1299, current: $1799 USD = $500 price hike
Previous base 15-inch model: $1999, current: $2399 USD = $400 price hike
If you can justify getting the Touch Bar for an extra $500, then go for it!

We can just purchase this as an add on before its' 1 year birthday right? I didn't get Apple Care but I feel like I should after splashing so much.
Most likely - yes. Because the games will require currently more than 2 GB of VRAM. You can check current and latest benchmarks comparing performance of the same GPU, but with 2 and 4 GB of VRAM. Its a hell of a difference, especially in every post-Mantle Low-Level API, like Vulkan, Metal, DirectX 12.
No one on the same boat or someone who can help me out here? The thing is I don't really care about the Touch Bar but this change in processor, RAM MHz and GPU is the question
if the low profile fans are similar to those on the previous macbook pros... good luck with that. And since the body is aluminium, it's not gonna feel good when things get hot
BUT ironically the good thing is the fact that its just a RX450/460, there's not much raw power anyway so temps shouldnt be a problem
Previous gen's base prices:
Prices now:
$1799 for 13-inch base model
$2399 for 15-inch base model
$400 PRICE INCREASE FOR THE TOUCH BARWho's going to pony up?
The base 15" also includes a dGPU.

You can find all the other processors on the same site.
Looking at the speeds, cache and iGPU, it's probably the 6700HQ and 6820HQ for the non upgraded versions. Then again, maybe they got some custom chips from Intel, who knows. Guess we'll find out as soon as people get their new laptops.
If you can overlook OS X, gaming on a Windows PC can be accomplished for 1/3 the price / similar performance.
So you need a dongle to power your iphone 7 with new macbook pro ?
This right here is gonna keep me up every night for the next two weeks. They went with the 2015 skylakes! The GOD DAMN 2015s!!!!!
utter cr@p... I live in Northern Ireland so just took the liberty of checking out the ie web prices (you know, the part that didnt do Brexit as it wasnt part of the UK)... guess what.. my priced up MAXED out 15" mbp which costs £4k would cost me an EXTRA £550 at current Sterling to Euro exchange JUST for the priviledge of buying in Euro...
.. thats Apple taking the proverbial.. nothing more. And thats what its CHOOSING to do.. whats the argument for that? the only stable currency is the dollar.. right before a presidential election?!?!?
I know that perfectly well. I am now building low power/high performance computer based on Intel i7 6700T and XFX Radeon RX 470 4GB, for 1080p Gaming with Freesync.
****ing Brexit voting, racist, bottom feeding *****! The rest of my family voted out, they can go **** themselves if they expect a Christmas present.
Will you guys be my family now?

That's true. The entry 13-inch model takes the heaviest price hike however, at at a cool $500 ($1299 to $1799) with the touch bar. Apple raised the entry barrier, I wonder how it will play out on the sales figures.
