Are you going to buy the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and Touch ID?

[kirankannan8]

I would have purchased had the price been slightly lesser. It is very expensive!

Yes. My daughter can use the MBP in her AP studies.

I like the machine but it's so expensive!

The only reason I'm not replying this from one of these macbooks is I cant afford it. I think it is amazing.

My daughter can use a new MBP for her AP studies. Looking into it.

Hopefully I'll win it in the iMore contest.

I'm due for a new MacBook Pro and I'm thinking about the 13inch with the touchscreen.

My BTO 13 inch w/ Touch Bar is finally sitting at Prepared for Shipment! Ordered on Nov. 11. Can't wait!

 

[anon(4784965)]

Yep.

I like the new laptop a lot. I bought one to replace my 2012 MacBook Air, which still performs basically fine but doesn’t have the sharp screen or design chops of the PC laptops that have come out in the last two-or-so years.

MacBook Pro 13 with touch bar. I want the faster RAM for future proofing. We kept our last two Macs (first intel iMac and 2008 MacBook aluminum) 11 and 8 years and plan on the same with this one. Also got 16 gb of ram and 512 gb SSD.

I still have a 17-inch, Early 2011 MacBook Pro. I upgraded the RAM to 16GB, put the 500GB HDD in the optical bay and added a 1 TB Samsung 950 Pro SSD. In many ways the 2016 rMBP 15-inch is either a non-upgrade for me or even a downgrade. I like 1920x1200 resolution. I wanted Apple to do an edge-to-edge display and eek out a 16-inch display in the 15" body and make it native 3840x2400 resolution. I also wanted them to include Intel Optane 3D XPoint SSD storage. 32GB, 64GB RAM options would be an upgrade. The I/O is much faster in the version they released but more than 1TB is really expensive. The high price and the USB-C ports aren't the top of my list complaints. I don't understand why Apple isn't placing more blame on Intel and how they're holding back enhancements to the MBP. Their new processors are later than they promised and they haven't met low power requirements for larger RAM quantities. Intel Optane 3D XPoint is dragging -- I've recently learned this could be legal entanglements with the intellectual property.

Is the touch worth it?!?

 

[msm0511]

If that's the only reason you'd be upgrading I'd say no. The other advantages are worth it though imo. It'll really just depend what you're using now, and your specific needs if the upgrade would be worth it to you overall.

Is the touch worth it?!?

 

[robertk328]

yes!! the newer the better!

Why is that?

 

[robertk328]

Just got mine (15" Space Gray w/ 512GB SSD). Loving it so far!!

Got mine today 15 w/ 256GB! So far so good. Loud clicky keyboard lol!

Congrats to you both!

Just got my 15" with 2.7 GHz i7, 16GB ram etc - been playing around with it and is superb - on a side note anyone notice that sometimes they are unable to click with the track pad?

My older MBP was pre Force Touch, plus the larger size of the trackpad gave me a few problems at first. Sometimes I felt things should click when they didn't sometimes things would click without me realizing I had more than one finger on it. I've gotten used to it now though and haven't had any problems more recently.
