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

[knoxDavid]

If I don't win one here from iMore I won't be buying one now as my current MacBook Pro is pretty recent. I will wait a year or so hoping for a memory bump or a price drop.

I do wonder how the whole ports (MacBook Pro) and headphone jack (iPhone) topics would've been addressed by Steve. I don't think he would've liked the ideas of dongles. What about you?

You're not alone.

yeah i will. but the price is holding me back. i want the touch bar tho. really want to try it if its gonna be worth the price that high.

I purchased the one without the Touch Bar....then took back and got the MacBook Air. But once I started using it I was like if I'm going to spend over $1000 for a MacBook I might as well fork up the money and get the new MacBook Pro back. Hard to go back from Retina to a regular screen. Didn't like it lol. Plus I can definitely notice the speed difference in the new MacBook vs the Air. It was a no brainer to go and get the new MacBook Pro back!

I just ordered the MBP 13 w/ Touch Bar. I have a late 2011 MBP that I maxed out the specs on (for the time). Unfortunately I spilled some booze in it recently. It still works, but it fried the battery. It only works when plugged in. Also it seems to have done something to the hard drive. I keep getting SMART errors anytime I try to update anything. I'm just hoping it holds out til my new one gets here. Estimated shipping is Dec. 20-26. I'm hoping it gets pushed up though.

Would want to buy one but it is pricey

I'm not going to buy one this year (but I will happily take one if I win one from iMore) as my current MacBook Pro is quite new. In a year or so I will look to see what the price & performance are like and likely upgrade then.

My concern is that the Touch Bar is a half-measure at best (despite Schiller's protests to the contrary a touch screen laptop is a great third input interface), and they should have include at least 1 USB Type A port for thumbdrives and their own iPhone cables.

It is going to be tough to justify buying the new MBP this year. Come January 1 that is a different story, the start of a new year.

If I had the money I would love one. If I can save enough, I probably will get one, but until then, no.

The macbook pro with touch ID would be great but a bit pricey

 

[robertk328]

NO. I just got the 2015 this year, so it will be a while, unless I win one, of course

 

[James Falconer]

Ohhhhhhh there is that chance!

@All - remember, we're giving one of the new MacBook Pros away! Enter often, and good luck

I want to know what kind of things you can do with Photoshop and the new Touch Bar.

 

[shess03]

I am going to college and am going to use the new MacBook for the whole four years, may as well not start a generation behind! I am new to Mac, so hopefully I can get ahold of it quickly... rather just win it though!

 

[Garz]

No. My mid 2015 MBP that I bought in June of 2015 will be just fine. No reason to drop 3 grand after tax for a new one to get my same 15" 500 GB

I think it is still not worth it... Should wait for them to realise that they are just not doing enough.

 

[James Falconer]

Seems to be the prevailing thought around these parts!
