I was partial with Touch Bar before, but after using it for a day, what a revolution! I don't think I can go back to any machine that has no Touch Bar. Just Safari alone, I could see all other tabs preview in my bar, and access any of it with just one touch. It's totally a new way, and much better and organic way to interact with the software. I definitely don't understand all those naysayers and gimmick-claimer unless they have never used it and just sprouting hates.

Yes... thank you for that (positive) insight!  
Can't wait for mine!

its a little ridiculous it took them 3 weeks to have them on display, let alone any reasonable inventory available the day these laptops were released.  Its not like they haven't had ample time since the last update.  Look at the pictures in these articles, showing off this computer like its god's gift to mankind.  I've been waiting to upgrade for over a year, but this whole limited supply BS and inflated pricing is a huge turnoff. 

I totally agree with you and then some! It's like apple is now a 100% "custom made to order only" company. 

This is started with the very annoying release of iPhone 7 - which in my opinion was the worse roll out of a major product I've ever experienced. I watched the interview with Angela how she thought is was "degrading to have people stand in line to order a phone"  HELLO??  That standing in line is not only part of the mystique of each new release but it's like also like tailgating before a big game. It's grabs the attention of media (you know... those people who give us FREE publicity by sending out thousands of camera crews each year to cover the event - but this year it had an unexpected negative. Not only did it piss off every person wanting a PLUS, the 11 or 12 people left in the line after all the people wanting the PLUS went home, caused the media to report that no one wanted this one "look at the short lines!"  That's how our local media covered it. 

Then the "NON LAUNCH" of the new Watch?  You can't actually call something "a launch" Angela when for 30 straight days you can't walk into an Apple Store see it and buy it. Every time I went to the store for a month they did not have it. She obviously does not have kids or teenagers. You can't tell them "I ordered it it will be here in 3-5 weeks and you certainly can NOT give them a birthday card with a receipt that looks like an IOU. "You're birthday is today. You're watch should be here in 3-5 weeks Honey!"

and now the laptop launch from hell?  And don't start this "She's not in charge of supply chain crap" I heard her uppity ass tell the interviewer "This way is so much more civilized!  I mean people waiting in line for anything .   It's just so humiliating, don't you agree?" <insert fake smile>

And Apple paid her 10 million last year for these stunning illuminated ideas?  Send HER uppity ass back to Burberry!

if Apple continues this "non roll out" into the rest of they're product line going forward after these 3 disasters (not to mention the backlash of the laptop configuration as well) I see people just getting fed up altogether with them, stop buying and start thinking "screw this what I have will do I don't need a new one". I'm not saying they WONT buy Apple. They'll just stop upgrading with each new one and wait it out. That's what almost all of my friends did. 

No no one needs to agree or disagree with me. I only wrote this because 9 people clicked "dislike" on this guys opinion and that should not be. It's a fact that they did/doing everything I mentioned. It needs to stop. They've become the Burger King:  "We don't make it till you order it"

Side note:  I didn't forget the topic of this story is the new laptop. My 6 year old 17" laptop had 32GB of RAM. The new one is stuck in time at 16GB and is NOT a 17" and is $3,200 of which you get a smaller design (15") with 1TB drive??  I paid $2,400 for my 17". But don't worry. You get to pay $700 more for something they announced last month AND you now get to wait till January if you buy it today. 

Pitiful rip off in my opinion  

They really screwed up. If they'd had these ready for September (school) they probably do better. But all the students already committed to something. You can't go to college and hope a computer may or may NOT show up. Hell with the 3-4 the whole 1st semester will be 90% over. And my god the price! I'm not a PC supporter AT ALL but Microsoft made a whole computer touch screen not a "bar". Yes I know.... "they make one without it, blah blah blah...", but it was the only thing it had going for it this time around. My 2011 17" has the same RAM as this. And they sucker punch you $2,400 for the 15" that's how much I paid for my 17"back in 2011. Shouldn't prices go down by now not up and then REALLY up? Just sayin'

But they still haven't fixed the "sleep of death" bug in Surface Pro 4 results No gain on rhe play in a brick of the pad. Microsoft refuses to replace leaving the buyer out their $3,000
