1300 for those spec... holy fuck.

 

[Dreadnought]

$1299 jesus

 

[Keyser Soze]

Talking so much about battery in Macbook... they better have something decent for the watch.

 

[ScepticMatt]

1299/1599 trololol ....

 

[Junior Mint]

"It joins the Air and the Pro in the lineup."

So the "MacBook" is going to be lighter and smaller than the "MacBook Air"?

 

[thenexus6]

Is $1299 good....?

Whats the point of keeping the "Air" line / name if this new one is so much lighter.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

price'll drop in a year or so like the air.

 

[Gandie]

1299??? For 8 Gigs of Ram and a 256 SSD.

 

[Antiwhippy]

That price surprised the hell out of me.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Really a poor value proposition compared to the MacBook Pro 13" w/ Retina.

This really is only for people who want something ultra-thin.

 

[TyrantGuardian]

LOL at specs to price ratio. Ahahahahahaha.

 

[wachie]

$1299? lord

Cray price, I was expecting 1500.

Going to sell nuts.

 

[Chris R]

YES SPEC BUMPS of the Macbooks I care about!

 

[GK86]

Lol only crap at those prices.

Their vision is right: everything is going to be wireless in the future. It's similar to what they did to the DVD-drive. That said, this product might be ahead of its time... as too many people are still dependent on many wired accessories.

I think sneakernetting with a flash drive is going to be around awhile, plus SD cards and the like... maybe wireless mice will get an uptick.

can it run crysis?

 

[Tabris]

Can USB-C handle multiple input/output dongles?

i.e. Power + HDMI / VGA / Displayport + Ethernet.

Otherwise this product is useless in a work situation.

 

[EroticSushi]

 

[Betta Lines]

That CG was absolutely amazing.

 

[ekim]

I seriously thought its under 1000$

 

[Buddha Beam]

I guess they should dump Lighting on the iPhone and iPad and replace them with USB C ports now. Only makes sense... seems inevitable, really.

 

[RowdyReverb]

$1299

Had to leave room for price drops in the future. Plus there's always the "fat" MacBook Air still available for cheaper.

 

[dc89]

That processor. Maybe I won't upgrade.

 

[rinse82]

I'm confused, that wasn't the new Macbook Air? lol

 

[Appleman]

Knew it would be pricey when I saw the 256GB

 

[LyleLanley]

Nice, new trackpads on MacBook Pros

 

[commish]

Is $1299 good....?

Uhhhhh I think it's a bit high for those specs. I'm sure plenty here will say that it's far cheaper than they expected.

 

[Mr Swine]

Why does it cost so much? Jesus that is expensive :/

 

[Rockstar Beaver]

$1299

Funny...

 

[Ominym]

What a bad value. Glad to hear they're interested in making a mid-range between the Air and the Pro, though.

 

[Einbroch]

$1299. For those specs.

Truly a status symbol.

 

[Junior Mint]

PRO gets the new trackpad. Replacing my Air ASAP.

 

[freenudemacusers]

decent bump for the pro but I want a gold one next year. gimme.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Why do these other products still exist? Just release a 12 and 15".

 

[3N16MA]

The Air should lose the name after this.

Pretty much what happened with the iMac. They can afford for this to be ahead of its time for a while

 

[nikos]

Exactly the price I expected. Not sure this could replace my 15" MBP, though I'm tempted to take the plunge. Wonder how it looks at native res.

 

[nampad]

My 13" rMBP just got older again, argh.

 

[Toki767]

$300 premium for double the space and a .1GHz CPU bump? Lol

 

[betterhalf]

OK fuck that price

 

[Chris R]

Let me know when the store is back up so I can check out those new Macbooks, enjoy the watch stuff

 

[Cyport]

I'm pleased there's no update for the 15" considering I got mine a few months ago!

 

[Outdoor Miner]

13" Macbook Pro Retina is MINE.

 

[Stormwatch]

10 hours of all day battery life. WTF does that suppose to mean?

 

[Fliesen]

see, i'm fine with the signal being transmitted wirelessly, but i'd hate to believe that any peripheral would be battery powered and thereby needed to be recharged.

one of the reasons i opted against getting bluetooth sports earbuds.

but alas, it still got the headphone jack, so that's cool.

 

[Rootbeer]

*IRK!*

They updated the retina macbook pro, damn

That was fast

My 13" rMBP just got older again, argh.

So did my 15" I must force myself to hold onto it until the next model though. While the bump is nice, it's not big enough to make me upgrade.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

PRO gets the new trackpad. Replacing my Air ASAP.

Yeah, the 13" MacBook Pro w/ Retina is by far the best value if the slight bit of extra thickness and weight are OK with you (it's still super portable).

 

[Namikaze]

1.1GHZ for $1300. I started laughing. Awesome to see the Pro get the new Trackpad and better battery life though.

 

[Derpyduck]

Is $1299 good....?

Whats the point of keeping the "Air" line / name if this new one is so much lighter.

For those specs and loss of functionality? Not at all.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Had to leave room for price drops in the future. Plus there's always the "fat" MacBook Air still available for cheaper.

Not shocked at all. MBA starts at $899 so it had to be in the 1099-1299 range.

 

[Enco]

It's not just with you.

It's on you.

lmao
