Ordered a 2015 15" 512GB refurb. New models knocked its price down a little, and I cannot stand the TouchBar. In fact, other than the performance and the screen, I despise the new MBPs, and that was after a month of using one full time.

I just did the same. The machines was ~$2699 just 6 months ago and got it referb today for $1949 not bad at all. I like the hard drive upgradeabilty and the onboard USB and sd card reader. Plus I don't want to carry around 18 dongles. Also...MagSafe <3

Nice to be back on this thread! So, had my 2012 15" rMBP 2.3/16/256 stolen a few weeks back and claimed on my house insurance. Managed to get a payout for the total cost of the 2015 model on sale! So glad I upgraded to Sierra and put all my files in iCloud, sans Downloads only a couple of weeks before it was pinched.

Ordered a new KL 15" tbMBP 2.9/512/560 and super excited to see the performance. Delivery time is 9th - 13th so hoping that I get it for the weekend.
 
I was going to hold out for WWDC to get a 13" MBP Touch Bar, but on Saturday I found a deal too good to pass up. My local Best Buy had the exact config I wanted in an open box for just over $1700. Base Touch Bar model 2.9Ghz / 16GB / 512GB. I couldn't pass that up. Because of the way they messed around with configs this time out, you have to spend $1800 just to get a Touch Bar, and then spend another $400 to get that much storage and RAM. It's got a faster CPU, but not by much. I'll manage, that's for sure. Here's a pic with my audio interface and an Akitio Node behind it. :D

It looks like delivery times have been pushed back 1 day. I ordered yesterday and delivery was June 16-20 now it's June 19-21.
I hope I get mine on June 16th

Just bought a used late 2013 MBP 15 from craiglsit. Man this thing is so nice. It was so well taken care of by the owner. Came in the box and all the accessories still wrapped up like a brand new one. The specs are 2.3 i7 with 16Gb ram and 512SSD and i paid $800. Not bad! the guy was selling to get a new ones to be announced at WWDC next week.

It's good to have a Mac again!

Bought a 13" TBMBP and I already feel I'm going to hate it. It'll be here Thursday, sigh

I tried the TB MBP at the Apple store. the first thing that popped into my mind when trying it was.......Man i wish the screen was a touch screen. If i am going to raise my hand all the way up to the screen to touch the bar. It is the same motion to just touch the screen. I wish Apple made a touch screen MBP.

I'm always scared about touch screen computers going out LOL, but that would be cool
 
Ordered a base 13" TB MBP with the 16GB memory upgrade yesterday. Still in processing with delivery currently at June 21, shipping to an Apple Store in Toronto.
 
My mid-2012 15" is getting a little long in the tooth, especially when using Sketch. So I ordered a BTO 15" with the 3.1 processor and 1TB drive. Says it ships in 4-6 business days and I am very impatiently waiting for the status updates.
