I hate how expensive it all is. I have a $500 Windows 10 laptop, quadcore CPU, 8 gigs ram, 1 TB spinning hard drive, and it works great.

It's disappointing that one has to go to the 15" to get 16GB RAM and quad-core CPU, where the 13" Pro I've now has 16GB RAM, and current 13" ChromeBooks and Windows laptops have quad-core CPU. The new OLED Touch Panel Pro seems to have a 50% mark-up over previous Pros or other comparable laptops.

    I had to miss the end of the event.  When do the new MacBooks
    start shipping? Thinking I might grab one of the current MBA
    models while I still can.

    Cheers,

        They basically put a track pad with multi functions above the

        This doesn’t really excite me as much as I thought.

        Things I like are definitely the touch ID, I’ll have to try
        the touch bar to see if I like it, smaller and thinner is good
        but does this mean hotter as well, it’s already hot, and I
        wish we had more processing boost.  I also don’t like that for
        premium graphics now on the pro I have to pay extra.  If I
        pick a 15 inch model the extra powerful graphics should be
        included, not $100 extra.  Having 2 TB of storage is nice but
        not worth $800 more considering how much less expensive high
        end flash storage is on the 3rd party market.  And why why
        why, only 16 GB?  Give me a 32 option, I will pay more for
        that more willingly than for extra graphics power.  For the
        price of the storage I’ll just build my own flash based NAS
        and store my files on the network.  I don’t feel I need to run
        right out and replace my MacBook mid 2015 that’s 2.8 turbo
        boost to 4.0 ghz quad core powered anyway.  Why not give me an
        8 core option?

        Apple, you need to start doing better, push the boundaries
        more and innovate more.  This incremental stuff is the game of
        lesser players.

              This is Apple’s new OLED MacBook Pro

            hello again event macbook pro compare

            “The Mac is more than a product to us. It’s a testament to
            everything we do and create at Apple,” said Apple CEO Tim
            Cook at today’s“Hello again” Mac keynote presentation
            
<http://www.idownloadblog.com/2016/10/19/apple-mac-october-27-event/>as
            he unveiled long-expected updates to Mac notebooks. The
            new MacBook Pro has, as rumored, has an OLED touch bar
            replacing the row of function keys whose function changes
            from one app to another, called Touch Bar.

            It comes in 13 and 15-inch flavors and Silver and Space
            Gray finishes, has 2x larger trackpad with ForceTouch
            haptic feedback, faster Intel chips and more.

            The 13-inch MacBook Pro weighs in at three pounds, almost
            half a pound lighter than the previous generation. It’s
            also seventeen percent thinner and has 25 percent less
            volume than its predecessor.

            hello again event macbook pro 15 inch

            The 15-incher weighs in at 4 pounds, is fourteen percent
            thinner and has twenty percent less volume. Both machines
            have a second-generation Touch ID with sapphire crystal
            protection integrated into the Power button. With a
            fingerprint scan, customers can authenticate Apple Pay
            purchases and authorize apps, like on the iPhone.

            By the way, this week mark’s 25th anniversary of Apple’s
            first notebook, the PowerBook, which defined the modern
            notebook with a matrix-dot display, keyboard-forward
            design creating a room for a trackpad and other features.
