Fully spec'd 15", £6,209.00 (without Applecare)
Please come to SG to get your MBP.
It would be cheaper getting the ticket, having some laksa, doing tax returns and going back.
Got a tip for us?

I've heard of that kind of thing happening but who knows. You can always return the one you've ordered (you have 14 days) and order one of the new models.
I just send an e-mail to part of my company's leadership to apply for a work computer. MBP 15", Core i9, 32GB, 1TB... €4599. Ouch. We'll see what happens.

Just a lil Brexit mark up
I can’t cancel it, at least not online. Too late to call now, anyhow. Just curious.
if you want eGPU...maybe you should wait for the updated mac mini....with eGPU , cheaper solution for sure
Why do they keep pushing that useless touchbar ? Looks like someone's annoying whim at the design team rather than rational decision. Literally nobody cares and it really is useless, not just an exaggeration. All it does is keeping the price higher, what a waste.
Active power consumption is pretty much the same, on idle LPDDR3 has some advantage and that's why it's used in smartphones but because laptops are used different than smartphones and most of the power consumptions comes from CPU+GPU and screen, there shouldn't be much of a difference.
So i wonder if the DDR4 15" MBP will have the same battery like 13" MBP with LPDDR3

So, with regard to the keyboard, Apple say the following:
"an improved third-generation keyboard for quieter typing"
According to this article, however, CNET say it's just quieter and that it's not fixed in any other way. Thoughts? It seems crazy that with all the lawsuits out there they'd release a new model with the same issues. That said, it's back to school time and they don't want to miss out. I hope it's fixed as I'm getting a 13" Quad-Core.

Well that's one way to push people into buying the TB model: the nTB gets no update at all and also keeps the 2017 price for another year. I guess that there will be people who know nothing about the machines who will still buy them, but trying to charge the same price for a second year is just insulting to anyone who does.
I’d guess the larger battery is probably to cancel out the small change there would otherwise be and keep the battery life static?
I suspect I've bought my last MBP. Back to Linux it is.
OK, we're finally here,
A few notes- personal opinion:
POSITIVE:
NEUTRAL:
NEGATIVE:
A few notes- personal opinion:
POSITIVE:
- RAM, processing, graphics, etc: finally, welcome improvements
- TouchBar: upon reconsidering, seems to be becoming useful - curious to try it, specifically w/ AutoCAD & Pixelmator
NEUTRAL:
- USB C charging: still can't accept it as an improvement over MagSafe, but not that important
- Ports: Still uneasy with the 4 USB-C ports, I believe the move was premature, at least for the Pro lineup
- Build quality: as the few last models had various issues, it's only wise to wait for the reports
NEGATIVE:
- Price: still quite steep, but no surprise there
- Keyboard: the most important concern - absolutely have to wait and see if actually fixed
UK pricing is ridiculous, even with the tax difference taken into account. I could fly to America/Asia, stay in a hotel for the night and eat out and it would still be cheaper... idea
Fly Norwegian Air to Singapore, will save you a ton. Hahahaha
I like to travel with the laptop, otherwise I would definitely have considered a desktop solution.
MBP $2,600 w/o AppleCare (which is crazy given the keyboard) 512GB of storage
Dell 2,100 for the 4k 512GB model with a superior GPU, upgradeable ram, storage and easy battery replacement.
Razer 2,200, Matte FHD display (I love that its matte), 512GB of storage upgradable components and a much better GPU and great looks
Is staying within the apple ecosystem worth four hundred dollars, especially when you consider the perception of the keyboard? On one hand the difference isn't as severe as I thought it was, yet on the other hand needing AppleCare may be a requirement and that pushes the boundary of affordability.

Oh, what is everyone's thought on the T2 chip addition? Being able to invoke Siri without having to touch your laptop.
