My mistake, I'm still on a mid 2012 Retina model.
... that model also has an HDMI port and SD card slot?

My mistake, sorry.

Windows 10 Anniversary is a fucking shit show.

I do a lot of iOS development on mine, so I have no option to switch, but I might stick with my 2012 retina. That thing still feels pretty damn good to be honest.Honest question how many Pro's here are gonna switch to a Windows 10 Laptop to dev on? Or, simply stick with their current MBP?

It was. I replaced it earlier this year with a new battery purchased from iFixit. it was a nightmare to replace it with what kind of glue it was glued, and how carefully you have to remove it, so the cells don't break and explode. Still, it cost me $100 to do it, while Apple wanted to charge me $300. If you decide to do it, watch the video of a guy who uses alcohol to dissolve the glue. That's the only way it can be done.Your battery has got to be fried though, no? Mine is completely spent.
I'm pretty sure the SD card slot on my Pro is broke so I've just been using the USB port on the camera to transfer photos for years now.
you think you'll be able to charge with any of the USB-C sports or just one special one?
Very weird.I don't understand the removal of all these ports. It's not as if HDMI is some old, barely used technology.
Apple is weird.
If you're thinking of convenience, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to charge MBP by plugging it into a USB port of some random PC. You'll still need to lug the charger around. On the other hand, magsafe has probably saved me from having to buy a new laptop at least 5 times so far, so I'm very happy about that rumor - having best of both will be good.and don't even get me started on how much better charging off USB is compared to proprietary Magsafe. I might just bust a vein.

But anyone with any sense (or doesn't want crippling pinky cramps) already has that remapped to ctrl.
I don't see the point of the OLED touch strip. It looks like it just repeats the same information that could easily be viewed on screen. It seems like an unnecessary feature that has simply been added to distinguish the new MBP.
Maybe you can remap the control key to escape then.
You can, but that seems like a bad idea. CTRL and Caps-Lock are too easy to press accidentally.Maybe you can remap the control key to escape then.
if Apple is going all in with USB-C why the hell don't they use it on iphone too?

Yeah, but else is it going to do? Display current music tracks, new email notifications, battery level. It's just a gimmick that will likely end up repeating information that could be easily viewed on screen.We have only seen literally one example of how it is used.

Lenovo finally dropped the VGA port this year. Lenovo is more or less entirely about the average office worker.Meanwhile, Lenovos, machines made for professional work, have any port you could possibly need nowadays.

Anniversary basically eliminated the need for Linux. Only reason to stay on macOS is if you are stuck needing xcode. Honestly, if I bought my own dev machine it'd be a Surfacebook.
Apple remains in a position to bully movement toward the connectivity future they envision, regardless of contemporary inconvenience.A common theme in these threads seems to be conflating "I don't use ______" with "Nobody uses ______".
A good segment of Mac users would be sorely inconvenienced by the removal of SD, HDMI, and all USB-A ports, and so far the explanations for their removal aren't overwhelmingly convincing.

Game changer for me would be custom emoji shortcuts whenever a text input field is active.Yeah, but else is it going to do? Display current music tracks, new email notifications, battery level. It's just a gimmick that will likely end up repeating information that could be easily viewed on screen.
The lack of HDMI and the 3.5mm will sting. Unless they add those for a 15" variant in which case that's OK.
Yeah, not gonna lie, this feels like a "Pro" machine for posers.
- Keyboard that doesn't feel very robust or precise for typing.
- Lack of built in ports for the most basic of things (SD and HDMI were really nice and useful to have)
- Lack of physical F-keys and ESC. Although I can see the touchpad being useful in say, video editing, I wish the keys were there too.
- Tacky "MacBook Pro" logo to remind me that I'm a PRO!
I hope 15" model will have at least some of the above improved.

I love the new speaker grille on the 13 inch model though.
You mean the Air?I hope they say something about Mac Pro's.. even if it is just a brief mention. They almost have to, no? No update since 2013.

SD cards: the sign you've finally made it as a PROFESSIONAL
I meant SD card.they aren't removing the 3.5mm from the MBP's
