Echo's and google home can output to any Bluetooth speaker, thus making the built in soeaker argument moot. You can get a dot for $50 and it can output to the best speakers you can get. And it works with more than just Apple Music.
Skylake supports partial/hybrid Main 10 decoding, which means those videos will almost certainly play just fine, they just might use a bit more CPU and battery to do it.
It's 739 here in Holland. I know the $649 price is before taxes, but come on.

The new app store logo is ugly.
Because it, as well as all the other Radeon Pro GPUs Apple has been using, doesn't exist outside of the Mac line.
So is the calculator icon.

Insane For Sony
Do you know what's the performance of the new Radeon Pro 560, that's replacing Pro 460 in the top end MBP model?
Welp, went ahead and did it.
I had a 2013 Top-End 15" rMBP that I sold in preparation for the revision last October. Late Skylake and a GPU that was just a haaair too slow for 1080p Overwatch when I'm traveling kept me from splurging - so I've been using a 2016 12" rMB since. Meh. Thing is awesomely light and has great battery - but it can't even kind of work as a pro tool for photo/video. Really, really excited to get back to a 15". Native HEVC hardware decoding and the GPU bump (plus native eGPU support) are really great. Wish we could have gotten 32GB, though.
Ooook... That's going to make like half the games I have on my phone stop working. I thought that they might have pushed this further down the line as there was no word about it in the conference.
The Radeon 5xx line is still the same Polaris used in the 4xx line with some minor process enhancements, so expect a 10-15% bump (if the improvements in the desktop 5xx line are any indication).
I don't know about the aesthetics but I am glad control centre just became a whole lot more useful and customisable.

You're a star, thanks!
... but only on the 7? What the fuck?
A freaking men. Been looking forward to a change like this.
I don't like that each icon is its own floating block. Why not have a single unified block with different icons within it, or section them off by type (toggle, scrubber, button, etc)?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Not at all - just going off of past refreshes where Apple has pulled a similar "one-off rebadge," I'd guess the 560 will be aaabbbbooout 10-15% faster than the 460. Normally that's nothing to care too much about. However, Overwatch at 1200p/high can maintain 60fps about 95% of the time on the 460; but occasionally drops to about 50fps. This bump should be enough to keep it at 60.
Silly, I know. It's not a gaming laptop. But considering it's the only game I'd care to play on the road for the next year anyway (outside my Switch), it's important to me.
Let me introduce you to Apple.
Isn't this... huge?

Ah, crap. I keep forgetting new macOS releases always fuck up Homebrew in some way. Maybe I should wait 🤔
Might as well fit in a trip to Hong Kong for that (it's 495 over there for the same version)...
Would be nice if that meant that there's an Oyster/Octopus/Presto travelcard in Wallet.

No standalone displays? We have been graving for new ones at work.
If the LG Ultrafines aren't to your taste, Apple said they are working on their own standalone display to launch with the next Mac Pro, which is not coming this year.

Wow, iOS 11 beta is super buggy right now.
Loving the speed of scrolling in Safari. Lots of little changes to animations and app icons too.

You're stuck with the LG 4K and 5K until next year when they release a new Mac Pro and their own, branded displays. That's confirmed by Apple.
FWIW, the LG 5K is a really spectacular monitor.
EDIT:
lol, I think you've beaten me to the punch like four times in this thread
It definitely looks more useful. Voice memo access from the lock screen means I will probably actually use them.

OMG, so wait, you can add more buttons to Control Center and remove ones you don't need? Holy shit. I need the Public Beta so bad. Day 1!
And I'm so looking forward to APFS. But will it allow convert in place for non-boot disks? Like say large drives I have externally?

Which icons out of interest? Anyone got any pics?
Just gleefully ordered two of the 10.5" iPad Pro's with $10/mo unlimited LTE from T-Mobile.
Couldn't be happier. Only things I wanted that weren't there were 3D Touch and a new pencil, but the dock+files & "multi-hand" gestures they showed off were what really mattered. Installing onto my OG iPad Pro now.

Just looked up prices - don't feel so bad about my 2016 MBP being "outdated" anymore.
I paid $1698 w/ no tax from Adorama last year for a 512GB 13-Inch Macbook Pro, and that included Applecare.
That 512GB 13-inch model with the new processor is $1699 flat, and that's prior to tax and Applecare.
