So disappointed. I had my wallet ready to order but this is no different than my current MBP. A half baked touch screen!!! Not worth the $3500 I was going to drop on a new MBP. I can't imagine going back to windows because I enjoy the terminal and vim but seriously considering it specially that now I can run bash on windows
Apple’s new MacBook Pro kills off most of the ports you probably need

I find it annoying that people switch OS's and compare them based on feel and "features"... If anything at least say OSX is architecturally better than windows... or get a Chromebook and Croton. This way you can use the terminal and vim, and still get amazing features thru ChromeOS
I would probably go ipad if I was interested in rekindling my Apple relationship (which I'm not since they continue to screw users it seems)

#24So sad.
Also: Magsafe is great (it's saved my bacon a few times). Gone. ESC key, gone. Don't know about the keyboard yet, but everything I've read doesn't point to it being decent.
Probably not buying this generation of MacBooks. Might just bite the bullet and finally go to Linux on some decent hardware.
So, what's a decent laptop for running Linux? Good keyboard, good trackpad support, good sound . . .

#27Even worse is that there is no real option if you're developing for IOS. Imac is a no go due to not wanting desktop and other macbooks don't seem the right type for heavy multitasking, compiling etc. It's MBP or bust.

#29MagSafe was one of my favorite things about Apple laptops. I'm sorry to see that go.

Yeah but shitty screens. The closest I got to programming nirvana was my Samsung Tab S 10.5. Glorious terminal in Super Amoled glory. It pains me to use any desktop panel. It's just old at this point, a little low and small. I would probably go ipad if I was interested in rekindling my Apple relationship (which I'm not since they continue to screw users it seems)
