Overengineered Apple products are generally quite expensive for the first gen.

Updating some of the later versions too, awesome

A lot more jazzed about the updates to the macbook pro. Glad to see some of those features and improvements made their way up.

They'll probably drop the price to match the Air as they inevitably phase it out over the next 2 years. Same thing that's happened with the Pros.

Also no new Macbook Pro 15 updates. What the gently caress Apple? No love for the workhorse laptop?

I love my 2012 Pro to death, would upgrade in a heartbeat.

ipad thinness + battery life + lack of wired connectivity. sure, it runs mac osx but it feels like macbook air/pro heavily simplified.

It just needs a Hub.

I have 5 things plugged into my Pro right now (power, Thunder to DVI, Thunder to Ethernet, Headphone, and USB).

I like it. No fans? Nice.

I understand that other people have other needs but IMO a macbook should be more focused on processing power and useability (ports). The new MacBook is more like what the Air was when it was first announced rather than the middle child between an Air and a Pro.

there won't be any more non-retina MBPs, if you meant 15" rMBP then the CPUs don't exist for those yet. Wait til WWDC

That's pretty much exactly what the 13 MBP is good at then, which makes it good those aren't going away yet!

I'm glad she could be the first person to achieve an arbitrary goal that no one else was possibly able to compete with her on.

Unless they were and its more the announcer shaming the Apple employees.
