As Steve would say, this iMac is "dead on arrival".

They deserve it. The current MBP is a failure. 1. Terrible battery life. 2. Touch Bar is a gimmick. 3. Terrible graphics (worse than last gen) 4. macOS is buggier than before. 5. Overpriced as hell. Was thinking of getting a 15 inch. Not worth it. Will keep using my 2012 13 inch with SSD.

The tech on this new computer is pretty cool, but there are still questions to be answered about the usability. Also, this new event was pretty much a flop. So where did Apple go wrong? 1. Pricing - Apple literally had no reason to jack up their prices by $200+. Why are they charging 200 bucks more as a replacement to an extremely outdated computer that *barely* brings it back on par with modern-day tech? Simply a cash grab. And why do they raise the price by $400 for the 15 inch? A complete joke. I was actually considering getting one of these, but now, it's simply a joke. I can make something better than a Mac Pro for that money, much less a crappy 15" LAPTOP. I get that Apple is supposed to be "premium" and "innovative", but now you're just paying for the name now, not the innovation. 2. Ports - While I do see USB-C as the new standard, we are not even close to there yet. Many of these ports (USB, HDMI, SD) are still extremely relevant. Why remove them? I get that they want to bring the future faster, but this is too extreme. And to all of you comparing this to the remove of the CD drive, the CD drive was already a fading technology when it was removed. And what about a lightning port? How am I supposed to connect this directly to my iPhone 7? Did nobody at Apple think this through? They are literally DESTROYING their own ecosystem by removing connectivity with their own devices. 3. Other announcements - This was a complete flop. Where are the MacBook Airs, Mac Pros, and Minis? What the hell is Apple doing? Do they just want to get rid of these computers? Seems like they don't care, they just want the most money out of their most profitable computers. AirPods release date? Another flop. These computers appeal to such a wide audience, and could boost Mac sales by so much, it doesn't make sense that Apple completely ignores them. Usually I am very happy with Apple updates, but this was a complete joke. I was seriously considering buying a nice new 15" Pro to replace by 2012 13", but the pricing and port availability make it unviable. Looks like my blazing-fast 13" with an SSD will have to keep going for a while.

The pricing is complete crap. TBH, Apple COMPLETELY screwed this up. Why remove *essential* and necessary ports? Why remove MagSafe? These were completely fine, and all of these technologies are still extremely relevant. And what the hell is the pricing on these? Completely unnecessary to jack up the price by $200+. N0 Mac Pro or MBA update? This was a complete joke. I think it's time to say goodbye to Tim.
