To be fair the iMac died yesterday when the studio was announced.

In what regard? One costs three times as much as the other.

 

[Camoxide]

Dat price for the 15 inch.

 

[Ashhong]

I love the prices.

Because now I'm not tempted to upgrade from my 2015 rMBP. Based Apple

 

[JABEE]

That $300 upcharge for the TouchBar is whack.

Yeah. I wonder what the last gen MacBook Pros will sell for now.

 

[platocplx]

these prices are insane. wtf. they went up 200 on the base price for the mac book pro it was 1199 previously wtf. 1499 is disgusting for the entry level. should have been 1299 max.

 

[xxracerxx]

No iMacs or any of the other base computers? bleh

To be fair the iMac died yesterday when the studio was announced.

Are you fucking kidding me with that? Good god.

 

[Jenotron]

How can I compare the specs of my current first gen Retina Macbook Pro (mid 2012) to one of the new ones?

It would help me decide if its time to upgrade or not.

 

[clav]

Really don't want that. I do professional illustration work

Why didn't you buy the Apple Pencil and the iPad Pro?

 

[RoKKeR]

Holy shit at the pricing...

 

[Toki767]

welp everyone on the internet is going to tear that event apart

And then the next Apple event will start with them talking about how everyone loved the event.

 

[victreeb3l]

Fuck the new prices

 

[Zeyphersan]

welp everyone on the internet is going to tear that event apart

Not COMPLETELY unjustifiably

 

[sethbot]

Yeah, I was in until those prices.....yikes. I'll hold on to my 2015 MBP then.

 

[Dachande]

I'm going to have to move back to a Windows laptop, aren't I?

 

[Mr. F]

I'm pretty uninspired by their trajectory in recent years, not really feeling this. That and the format of these presentations needs to die, the Jony Ive jerk off minute in particular

 

[terrdactycalsrock]

How can I compare the specs of my current first gen Retina Macbook Pro (mid 2012) to one of the new ones?

Click the apple logo on the bar up top, and there'll be an "about this mac" option

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

So they spent 90% of the time talking about the touchbar...

And it took a second to realize how pointless it is, which is what made the presentation excruciatingly boring

 

[Zombie James]

Ooof at that pricing. Looks like I won't be downgrading to the 13" like I planned, unless I can get a really great return on my 2014 15".

 

[Feel the Swift]

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?

Apparently. It's just way too premature. I don't give a shit if USB-C is faster, no one else is ready yet.

 

[VanquishUK]

The Razer Blade looks like a much more attractive buy if you don't have an attachment to macOS.

 

[Ashhong]

So they spent 90% of the time talking about the touchbar...

What else would they talk about? You realize that's the one new feature of the Macbook right? The nerve of Apple!

 

[Sullichin]

Macbook Pro 15 couldn't start with 512GB RAM for $2399?

Yeah Ugh this is my #1 complaint. Prices are fucking crazy. 256GB SSD is too small. Wonder how much the upgrade will be.

 

[m_shortpants]

Yeah keeping my 2015 rMBP. Will probably jump platforms next time back to Windows.

 

[Deku Tree]

Apple still hasn't updated their web site what...

 

[digdug2k]

Isn't the 12" MacBook under a grand?

It started at like $1200 earlier this week. The 13" Air was $999. I thought maybe the function-key pro would be the Air replacement, but at $1500.... nope.

 

[MGrant]

I'm going to have to move back to a Windows laptop, aren't I?

Dell XPS will take good care of you.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Microsoft is the more exciting company now, what a time to be alive.

iMac = dead?
Mac pro = dead?

 

[golem]

I wish tim cook would just swallow his pride and shamelessly rip off the Surface Pro/Book

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

Yeah Ugh this is my #1 complaint. Prices are fucking crazy. 256GB SSD is too small. Wonder how much the upgrade will be.

Probably another $500

 

[Dynasty]

In what regard? One costs three times as much as the other.

Yh the studio isn't even competing with the iMac, it's meant to compete with Wacom.

 

[yoonshik]

I'm going to have to move back to a Windows laptop, aren't I?

But which one? i'm on the same boat : (

 

[gruenel]

The touchbar thing is silly. It's a strip. A thin one, at that.

It's like why go that way instead of having a touchscreen?

I mean the touch bar has a few obvious advantages to a touch screen:

- More space for content
- Don't have to move your hands as far
- No greasy ass display after a while

 

[platocplx]

I'm going to have to move back to a Windows laptop, aren't I?

Looks like I'm going surface. No way in hell im paying 1499 for second computer. My budget was 1300-1500 max with apple care.

 

[GamePnoy74]

I need pricing on a 13" MBP touch with a 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM...

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

*prolonged fart noise*

I'll wait for an iMac refresh at this point.

 

[gamz]

Basically this:

[soldierblue]

I'm finally really, really tempted to replace my 2012 15" rMBP.

 

[RDreamer]

I'm tempted to get a 13 inch even though my current MBP is 15 inches.

Same... This really sucks. I'm not sure what the fuck to do. My current pro is dying, but I can't afford the options I need. Downgrading screen size will kind of suck, and having to live the dongle life now just seems shitty.

 

[Ensirius]

Yeah keeping my 2015 rMBP. Will probably jump platforms next time back to Windows.

I think this is what I'm doing sadly.

Razer blade or XPS, not sure.

 

[The Real Abed]

The web site hasn't been updated yet. Damn. I really want to browse around and look at the purdy pictures.

So the MBA is dead.

Not quite. It'll be available for a long time like the optical/HDD MacBook Pro was. Probably won't get many updates if any at all but it's there.

Zero desktops?

RIP iMac and Mac Mini ;_;

As soon as he mentioned it was the PowerBook's 25th birthday I knew this was just going to be about laptops. They didn't even update the MacBook itself so I'm sure the iMac will get an update silently down the road. Maybe the mini. As for the Pro... haha.. poor thing.

 

[The One Who Knocks]

Insane prices, and not the strongest of events.

EDIT: All up on the website now, for the Irish store at least.

 

[Mashin Haters]

lol at people who are saying they are not upgrading from their 2015 Macbook pro. Why would you in the first place, you literally just got that laptop a year ago.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

That pricing will make me hold onto my mid-2013 until it's dying breath.

Terrible pricing.

 

[Zaph]

1600 i can live with

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Only just caught the end of that conference.

Did they announce a new 12" MacBook for my wife?

 

[God Enel]

To be honest. I think they are pretty underwhelming. Would rather buy a surface and that comes from a guy who loves his mac.

Whats the point of the touchbar? I dont see it at all.. maybe i have to try it to see its usefulness

 

[Zombie James]

$1499 USD == $2006 CDN right now. Yeah, I don't see my plan working.

 

[bionic77]

Yeah. I wonder what the last gen MacBook Pros will sell for now.

I am not looking to upgrade my almost 5 year old Air (which is still perfect), but I would hesitate at these prices.

The hands on for the bar better be spectacular to justify the price increase, because that is what you are paying for.

I am not hating on the USB C though because a lot of laptops will look like that in 2 years. It just makes sense to switch to that standard as soon as possible.

 

[Faddy]

$1800 to seamlessly integrate emojis into your workflow.

 

[cheezcake]

Is Quadcore CPU needed for programming?

I'm making a decision on which one to buy.

Did Apple even announce their battery life?

Are you a student? You can get by on basically any semi modern hardware tbh. Any of these options is more than enough.
