Lol. Wonder if the MP will still be in the store when it comes back up?
[speaking of mbp, phones/watches] "We couldn't be more excited about this product lineup headed into the holiday season"
the only way to be more excited is if one had more products going into it. to me, it kinda reads no mac pro/imac/mini till next year/after holiday season. i don't know, just the way he said that stuck out to me...
definitely not worthy of the "hello again" title for this event.

To the last person leaving the room, please turn out the lights (on this thread).
Oh no, from engineering point of view, the Touch Bar is pretty much groubraking feature for MBP. For this one thing it was worth the title.
Honestly , its what I expected. Microsofts keynot yesterday were 10x more exciting. And that touch strip to me seems like only a gimmick, maybe not for a DJ, but for everything else. For Photoshop it seemed completely useless, unless you do trivial stuff.
Seeing how Photoshop used the touch bar was cool and seeing how word suggestions appeared there was handy but otherwise, meh.
Edit: I don't think that I would find it easy to work two handed though on a keyboard so I'm definitely passing.

So let's see, the base 15-inch MBP now comes with a better quad-core processor, faster memory, more memory, arguably better connectivity, probably greater graphics horsepower, and, obviously, a screen, for $600 less than the MP? Uh huh.

I'd be interested to see some real-world performance benchmarks. Actually forget it, there's not way it can compete with even the 6-core nMP, let alone the 12-core nMP. But what I would like to see is the maximum amount of RAM on the top end 15" model. I'd be astonished if it's still stuck at 16GB. I moved over to an XPS 15 for this reason, and what was my temporary laptop is now looking a lot more permanent.
I really wonder, the mini has almost the same internals with the MacBooks, was it so hard to update it?
Actually, you have pulled it right
. Of course it depends on the amount of horsepower the Radeon Pro 450 has...
Isn't that what all "Pro" users expect from their computers?
It appears stuck at 16 GB. Phil's wording during the keynote made it sound like it might go higher.

Federighi does. And it looks awkward. I am no-tuck all the way.
As for today's announcement, I like the new MBP's but those prices...obscene...
Two scenarios: either Apple is reimagining their desktop lines in a fashion similar to what Microsoft introduced yesterday, or desktops are on the way out. Option #2 seems the more likely one.
You are right. Just looked on the store. Over $4000 for the high end model, that has 2TB SSD, but 16GB RAM. I used to used my Macs as a mobile VM lab, but no longer. 32GB is the minimum I need, and Apple don't do this. Looks like my temporary XPS 15 will be around a while yet. Thanks Dell!
At the end we 're going to believe it...Isn't that what all "Pro" users expect from their computers?
and at least they should stop using the word "Pro"...
Looks like the "Apple Tax" has definitely gone up!
The Mac Pro is officially dead. If Apple was going to update it, they would have done it by now. R.I.P.
Tim, you suck.
Tim, you suck.
think so? maybe.
why not make the whole screen touch and have a bar at the bottom that changes dynamically per application? they've stated in the past they want to keep the i-stuff and computer stuff separate and i'm wondering if that isn't holding them back a little.
Unfortunately Apple just can't do more than one thing at a time, anymore.
Police are stationed at Apple Stores because any sale of an Ivy Bridge nMP is now classed as a robbery
