Detachable touch screen with amazing stylus and that's double the memory.

If I want to buy a fully-upgraded 11 inch Air, how long do I have?

Macbook Pro 15 256GB 2016 is $400 more than last year's model, for the Touch Pad.
$400 is the price that Dell charges for the 4K Touch Screen add on for their XPS line up.
Apple is charging $400 more for their Touch Pad line strip.

I can't imagine working on Windows again, I really hope they'll do something about their Pro's in the future until my MBP has to be replaced..
It's still $3299.

Really don't get why this thing has a AUX port after the things they said in the iPhone7 conference.

I manage all my podcasts from my iphone using Downcast. I can easily take a podcast, listen to it on my earphones, then tell my Echo to pair to my phone and listen to it on those speakers, I can then go to my desktop PC and hit a button to connect it to bluetooth and resume listening on my PC speakers....the one fucking place I cannot stream my podcasts from my iphone, is to my macbook. This the the first macbook I have ever owned, and it is exactly what I was looking for in a laptop, but I was dumbfounded when I googled how to pair an iphone to a macbook and discovered it is not supported at all.
Edit: not that it would work with Downcast library anyway, but using iTunes to play any form of media is the worst. I haven't used that program to do anything other than backup iphones in ages. It is borderline unusable.
You can basically pair or mirror to every modern television on the planet as well. That's standard.
They're not THAT courageous.

really, high end laptops are just expensive. Even the Dell XPS 13 is $1150 if you want 8 gigs of ram and 256gb of memory and it goes up to $1600 if you want a high res display
I switched back to Windows after using a Mac for 8 years, I am pretty happy with Win10 if I am honest.. Really isn't as bad as its made out to be.

At least Apple bump the Base Storage for the Macbook 13 Pro from 128GB to 256GB.
I wish Apple bump the base storage for Macbook 15 Pro. I'd be happy paying $2499 for a 512GB Base Storage.

Think about a new line of USB-C EarPods lol
That's interesting. The cheapest new MBP is 50 more expensive here in Portugal. Starts at 1745
I guess you wouldn't be able to do it in that scenario. I don't know why anyone would not just use the podcasts app and iTunes on your computer. It saves your position in that case.

Saw an article on Cnet that Microsoft is taking trade-ins. Put up my 2013 MacBook Air aannnnnd $40.
Hmm...well at least, with our Apple on Campus agreement, we get around 200 off of every new MacBook Pro model.
Thats more reasonable priced, but still...

$2799 for 512GB storage and 460 is REALLY hard to swallow. I use my MacBook Pro every day. I use my PC every day. I use my iPhone every day. All three of those I put a lot of money into.
Even with my current MBP being three years old I'm having a real lot of trouble pulling the trigger. Polaris 11 is really disappointing.
But on the flip side, Windows support of HiDPI is still absolute fucking garbage as I've found through Boot Camp.

My experience with Windows 10 has been amazing, it's really an incredibly looking OS not to mention one that is probably the most productive.
Whats so bad about Windows? Asides from like the 3 apps OS X has that Windows doesn't, the OSes are virtually the same thing. (Only one can do touch)
Are you a developer who needs a shell all the time?
I think I would go for Linux then.
airpods are the ONLY headphones that apple sells (not yet) that will work with both. LOL
don't mind the loss of the top keys but the touchbar seems exactly like I'd expect it to be, a semi-useless toy.
Sad seeing Apple continuously descend into making novelty lifestyle products and alienating pro users. Can't be long until they discontinue the Mac Pro and ruin the 27" iMac.

They're still selling the previous ones, the new ones are purely for performance versions.

They actually showed Surface Book starting at 1500 yesterday during the conference after unveiling the new versions so it's not just people making assumptions.
I used Macs from 1999-2011. Only reason I stopped in 2011 was because the dollar to value proposition no longer made any sense. Looks like they doubled down on that today. Thankfully, Microsoft has been killing it the past couple years and some of the other Windows manufacturers are also putting out some solid products.
Some day it would be really nice to work on a Mac again, but their hardware has been so underwhelming ever since they changed their focus to iOS devices.

Get a third job first
This pretty much cements Surface Book as my next computer. Touch Bar looks pretty limited/not that interesting to me.
Was there no iMac update today? MS had the best hardware in computing now across the board.

Exactly. They announced a new SKU.

I'm a very casual developer (developed an Android/iPone app). I can dual boot or VM Linux if need be.
But doesn't Windows 10 now include all these tools you require, like Bash?

The 256GB baseline on the 15" is the most disappointing.
Plus it's only ~half a pound lighter than the current machine.
I think the high end 13" should have 16GB RAM and the low end 15" should have 512GB SSD.

Why do you need 1TB if you're comparing against the 512gb MacBook?
Get the i7, 512gb Surface Book. I did.
Same here. The loosy support for High DPI is a major put off. Really don't want to go back.
