I'd almost hoped they would have released a refreshed Macbook Pro range. I realise they are unlikely to recognise the joy and immense pleasure working on a MBP has brought me over the years, with the previous MBP being the pinnacle. Sadly I see the current MBP as something I will not be buying and will more than likely move back to a high end windows laptop.
The 2016 MBP is absolutely amazing. Just give it a shot. You won't regret it! Just takes a little getting used since there are many new design changes.

You should give the new MBP a try (the version without the touchbar, of course). It's the best laptop I've ever used by a long shot.
Can you explain your opinion? Sadly I am a jaded person who hears your words like yours and thinks "Fan Boy."

> the version without the touchbar
If you're charging, it has one available USB port. It looks like a perfectly good and well priced machine otherwise, but I don't really want a hub constantly dangling off the side.
Can anyone see what changed with the iPhone SE? They seem to have updated it as the store now says "place your order starting 3/24", but all the specs look identical to me.
Hmmm. Most people I know who own iPads have had them end up as rather expensive children's toys.
I use mine every day. It's turned my 2 hour train commute each day into wonderfully valuable time. I've written many thousands of words on it and thousands of lines of code. When I was job hunting last year I did several coding exercises on it in Pythonista. It's one of the most productive computers I've ever owned.
Although Sid Meier's Starships is sucking away a bit of my time lately.

Most complaints about the newest one are that it's slower, palms keep activating the larger track pad while typing, and of course the lack of memory. Most people who enjoy the touch bar are video designers rather than devs etc who use a lot of function keys.
Who does serious video editing on a laptop? The difference between editing on a laptop and a high end desktop is night and day and can't even imagine working more then a few hours on a laptop for editing.

I'm a dev and I enjoy it. Though it kinda sucks when I can't connect to an external monitor at home, have yet to buy any dongles for that. I'm kinda curious who finds themselves needing more memory, and for what purpose. No doubt more can be helpful, but having 16 hasn't really ever felt slow to me. Even when running multiple virtual machines.
You run multiple virtual machines simultaneously and 16GB of RAM doesn't feel slow to you? They must have seriously optimized the hardware to the point that the RAM goes farther. Running multiple VMs on my 2015 MBP with 16GB RAM is a nonstarter. How much memory are you devoting to each VM, and how much do you allocate for overhead on the host system?
I'm spoiled though - these days I spend most of my time on a machine with 128GB RAM and an i7-6900K :). I can barely recall what it's like for a machine to hang.

I have been using the 12" MacBook now as my primary computer for about five months, and the build quality of the keyboard is so poor I am completely shocked. What I wanted was an 11" Air with a retina screen, but they just had to make the thing so #!%@&=+ thin that it is now just a piece of $%#@. Is the MacBook Pro's also-stupidly-thin keyboard much better? They claimed the MacBook's keyboard was somehow a step up from before, but it is actually just "as good as they could make it while optimizing for thin above any sane design constraint" and it really really really sucks; it has actually driven me to stop using my computer as often due to the combination of the keyboard itself falling apart and the damage to my hands and wrists from typing on it: I seriously have started sitting at a desk so I can use a real keyboard again, which is not something I ever felt the need to do with any of Apple's previous keyboards; and at that point there is absolutely no reason to get an Apple computer in the first place as I could use anything else and I wouldn't notice the difference :/... I mean, I may as well just use a desktop computer (and I actually have essentially been doing just that, slowly transitioning to a Windows desktop I had built for VR work, even if only because it is better designed to handle all of the desktop accessories and is much faster, with a top-of-the-like graphics card).
