wtf Euro prices are 200€ higher than dollars price ?! $1,499.00 -> 1 699,00 € for the first model
Taxes are one of the reasons.

#593Re: MacBook Pro
#594Apple has replaced the MacBook Pro with a faster MacBook Air labeled "Pro". I have no idea how they could think that professionals would use a MacBook Air (no ports, shallow keyboard, no expansion, no innovative features, marginally lighter). A tiny ribbon display is completely useless to me. They removed the escape key. Twenty years of using Macs and I'm not sure what my next laptop is going to be.
I get the sense that there is a movement inside Apple right now to abandon the professional market. Everything they've released lately for pros has been half-hearted at best. I'm getting increasingly concerned that one day soon they will drop Mac OS products altogether and just leave us to the wolves
The writing is on the walls

#595Boy, I'm a little relieved to have a fully loaded 13" rMBP with 1TB SSD, doesn't look like the new 13" with touchbar can let you go higher than 256 GB storage. If one standard was going to be picked, maybe 512 would have been better for a $3000 computer.
The new Base model rMBP may be the next one for me for that reason for now. Keep finding it worth to always wait until the 2nd generation of a Mac laptop before diving in.
Re: MacBook Pro
#596This event was by far the most disappointing Mac event in the history. A lot of the time was wasted in: - Mildly funny jokes and comparison with 90's technology. - 90% of the talk was about the touch bar. - Awful demos of Photoshop & some cringy DJ. I was hoping we would see: - A new MacBook with all day battery life and touch bar, even thinner design. Ok, I understand that they are trying to consolidate their produc…
> This event was by far the most disappointing Mac event in the history.
I very rarely respond with such a glib comment, but: really? Isn't that slightly hyperbolic?
This is very emotive language to describe a completely reasonable and innovative update to a laptop. It was never going to satisfy everyone's needs or wants, especially when some of those wants are not currently physically realistic ("all day battery life" and "even thinner design"?).
For myself, as a 2012 rMBP owner, this is a really solid upgrade that I would be delighted to use.

#597I can't believe they didn't increase the ram. Wait till next year I guess.

> Microsoft really hit it out of the park yesterday. Did we watch the same event? Microsoft introduced a $3,000 desktop PC in an era when nobody uses desktops anymore. It introduced a minor update to the Surface Book that starts at $2,300 with dual-core CPU, only 8GB of RAM, and last-gen graphics hardware. For the same price as the new Surface Book i7, I can get an MBP 15" with bigger screen, twice the RAM, and a qua…

Re: MacBook Pro
#600Seems like my next laptop won't be a MacBook Pro. Can anyone recommend a good Linux laptop that will offer up to 32gb of RAM and have decent battery life?
You could try one of the laptops from www.system76.com, or the Dell XPS 13 (http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd), or ASUS Zenbook (https://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks/ASUS-ZenBook-Pro-UX501VW/). You could also just look for a laptop you like that has good compatibility (https://certification.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/)
