You're still spending money on something you shouldn't have to! You're focused on the word dongle for some reason and it's really weird.

I should've gotten this when Samsung offered free $50 vouchers on their website.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
I don't have a link to the video but I think it was just kids screwing around during a soundcheck.

Who does it better? It's probably the one thing I love most about apple stuff.

Loved that DJ.
While they wanted to demonstrate the touch bar, the over reliance on it (not using it and the keyboard/trackpad) just made it seem very awkward and inconvenient.
It's the same as the previous gen. MacBook Airs get longer battery life.

Yeah they don't exist. You need a bulky adapter. Type-C wouldn't bother me at all if you could just buy cables without the need for bulky adapters.
No comparison numbers means a YES.

There are no USB ports on this thing.
Stunning.
Stunning.
have you tried google and amazon.
I also don't get the hate. USB C is obviously the future and when it was announced most people seemed to be excited for it.
Obviously if you switch over there is going to be growing pains as you either get a dongle for your old tech or upgrade. But the idea of a single port for USB, video, and power (that also allows you to charge from other devices) was awesome to me from day one.
Not sure about the new TouchBar. I have to try it out. I was also undecided on them getting rid of a mechanical trackpad but the new version is actually better than the old one. Sometimes Apple does actually get it right.

You can't connect the iPhone 7 with these new Macbook pros without buying a dongle or new cable.

Let's see if Apple includes Polaris GPUs on their base model of Macbook Pro 15.
But that surface model is designed for artists and creators in mind. Of course it wouldn't have value to you thats why the price is so out there, its not meant for you. Nor was the dial meant for any use outside of what it was intended for.
The oled bar is far more useful for general users but in almost every case they tried to use it a touch screen would have sufficed.

What did they announce for the GPU in this thing? And how does it stack up to the 1000 series?

It's a forcing of a new standard before it's had a chance to come anywhere near properly saturated in the market. This is like eliminating VGA ports the day the HDMI spec came out. There's still a shit ton of people who still use USB-A devices, would it kill them to include one or two?
that's annoying but has nothing to do with what he asked
thunderbolt3 to HDMI. They are thunderbolt3 ports backwards compatible to USB-C. There are already USB-C/T3 to DP cables.. my guess is there will be USB-C/T3 to HDMI cables in the store today.
It absolutely is.
Apparently USBC -> HDMI cables are currently against the HDMI spec so can't be made yet? Only USBC -> HDMI adaptors instead:
They are killing it right now.

Wait.
What.
A kind of sort of but not really MacBook Air replacement? So what.. now they have the MacBook, the MacBook Air (Stagnant), a new Air Pro with actual keys and the 13" and 15" Pro models with touch pad?
Damn. Guess they didn't have enough courage to actually kill the Air.

Doubt it, but they mention up to 4GB cards so it sounds like they'll actually have a card in a a SKU that's not the absolute most expensive setup, which is better than last gen when all you got was the M370X.
