Ergonomic nightmare. I would expect this type of gimmick to be on a samsung, not apple. Everything has gone downhill since we lost Jobs.

Generally, I was expecting to be really wowed by the new MacBook Pro like I was wowed by the Surface Studio yesterday. After waiting for so long I was really expecting more. More RAM, 7th Gen Kaby Lake and a totally new design. The new MacBook Pro feels a bit like a refresh.

Anyone else think TouchBar is positioned weirdly? Why not between the trackpad and keyboard where ppl hands are 100% of the time.
Desmond
@hameto_ I was thinking the same thing. Our hands spend most of the time on the trackpad, seems counterintuitive to not place the touch bar near it.

@desmonddantzler @hameto_ They did show how customizing the bar was really fluid as the two screens were close to each other. I do agree ergonomically it seems awkward at first, but I think when you start to use it it might be better placed. Also, it's where the function keys were, its extending their use.
Drew Goodwin
@hameto_ if it was placed near the trackpad, your hands/arm would cover it while typing. It's basically a small screen. Since the content is dynamic, hindering visibility would be a mistake.

Will this be the fastest product to get 1000 likes ever?

Its a slick laptop until you have to plug 4 dongles in order to make it work.
JP Boily
@francisperron now waiting to see a great dock to have only one thing to plug in this little beast at home. I'm actually super excited! Can't wait to get mine. Did you order for all the team @ GitMarket? ;)
Francis Perron
@jipiboily Its just sad we need to buy dongles or dock at the price they are selling it :( No we're good, I have a early 2015 13", I'll stick with that for now and let the industry adapt to usb-c/thunderbolt3.

Looks good. However is it true that Apple killed the Air? Loving that emoji bar, finally a nice update to an Apple product! ;) Might recover the poor sales on the iPad Pro and the iPhone 7. As a certain Twitter user said: Microsoft announces a 28-inch, beautiful computer with a touchscreen display. Apple adds a tiny sliver of an iPad to the MacBook Pro.
Hayden Evans
@giacomolaw the 13" without the Touch Bar is intended to replace the Air.
Giacomo Lawrance
@hayden_evans Still a pity to see the air go.

Still no 4k?
Eric Wilson
It can power two external 5k dispays and the internal display is retina DPI. 4k in a 15" monitor would be pointless unless you're wearing binoculars and sitting 1 ft away.

What's the point if you can't go beyond 16GB of RAM?
David Atías
@nxc I got the previous version of the Macbook Pro Retina and I can't add extra ram because it comes attached to the mother board. This will be the same?
Daniel Shneyder
@unclemimo Correct, I have the previous generation with 16GB RAM - it is all soldered to the board.
Deekshith Allamaneni
This is still stuck with 16GB Ram 😒
Brendan Hufford
Wait, so they dropped the coolest feature, the magnetic power cord, and put in an emoji bar?
Patrick
@brendanhufford at least this way we will drop our mac books more often.. hoorayyy... Seriously, I really miss the magnetic power cord! And where is the glowing apple logo?!
