One thing I love about my 1st gen rMBP is the aluminum body. Even though it is 4 years old it still look great. Few scratches and dents. I am tempted withe the space grey body but am concerned that the finish will wear off. Does any one know how durable the space grey finish is? Will it handle like that on an iPhone?
The new Macbook Pro is not that great of an improvement. The touch bar is cool but nothing innovative. It is a gimmick. The fact that you can not plug your iPhone into the Macbook Pro is silly. You need an adapter for that. How much will that cost? $79 maybe. That is ridiculous. Or need to buy a Belkin dock for what $200 or more. That is insane.
Pro tip: if you're going to rant about how something is "ridiculous" or "insane", and having to buy stuff for imaginary prices, you *might* want to make sure you're not making shit up.
Because fifteen seconds of research would have saved you from looking like a complete moron.
I agree with jumpcutter. Touch Bar is strictly a gimmick. I prefer "point and click" for all of my activities, and now the touch bar requires me to take my hands away from the trackpad and up to the top of the keyboard. Not only does my positioning change, but now I have to look away from the screen and down to the keyboard area which is at a different angle. I’ll never use it nor doubt I’ll buy it. Too bad there’s not a non-touch bar version of the 15".
And the single port is going to make the laptop less portable, requiring not only a handbag full of adapters to go with you, but perhaps a portable dock you have to lug around. I go from desk to desk or location to location, and the current ports allow me to just take my laptop. Now I’ll need to bring the store with me to be compatible…
And, way too expensive. I can no longer justify a 15" purchase. Again, OFFER A NON TOUCH BAR 15" MACBOOK PRO !!!
