Non upgradable hard drive and ram? Nahh I'm cool off that, especially at that price tag. I wonder how much the 500gb 15 inch will cost.

Yep, that's how they lost me as a customer. But I'm waiting to see what's the news when they tear it down .

Was thinking about a new MBP, but I'll pass at those absurd prices. Apple has always had a premium price, but they are straight WILDIN' now. Juice ain't worth the squeeze with these joints. Looks like I'll be going the refurb route for an older MBP.
Was hoping for some iMac news, too. Worst apple event ever.

I'm riding with my early 2011 MBP to the end. Apple can kick rocks.

Holding on too my old pro. Would be wayyy cheaper to upgrade the RAM and SSD...again. The price on the base level MBP is insane.

The touch bar is actually pretty dope. Love how it can be used in different ways for different apps/programs. I wasn't expecting it to be that functional.
Still not worth that markup though.

Space grey, b. Its the first option
Most displays require an adapter anyway.
They need a USB-c to HDMI cable. Not adapter, but a straight up cable

Older model 15" is still available to purchase on the site.
$2599 for base 15" MBP with 512GB SSD upgrade. That's only about $100-$200 more from last configuration with the matching spec tier.

My "old" mbpr has hdmi, displayport and thunderbolt.
Dont need no dam usb-c and most of dont. A port or 2 is nice to have but usb-c is the only dam thing you will get with these new macs.
I am good.

You can plug HDMI directly into the side of your MBP?
****, I haven't upgraded since 2012, I didn't know that was possible. Thats definitely an L then

The first 2 generations of the macbook retina has hdmi built in. The old thunderbolt ports also acts as a mini displayport.

They also removed the SD card slot. Those who do video and photography will need to use a thunderbolt SD card reader
