Still waiting to upgrade my MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) but the latest models of all the mac line just seem stupid. Might be going away from them now.

Very happy I did, great choice of superior hardware and Windows 10 is better than OSX which has been floundering for a few years now. As things stand I will not be going back to Mac.

            Yeah. Because it's overpriced as hell. Only a complet fool/tool/Apple Fanboy would buy one.

            For that price, I'd be able to buy a Razer Blade Stealth (Kaby Lake) + Razer Core which is way better, plus have enough money to eat at a fancy restaurant.

              The Macbook Pro is very overpriced even by Apple's standards. Even most of the bigger youtuber tech reviewers say so. Its just not worth the splurge, given that the conpetition offers better performance and looks for much less the price.

                      Thats because apple became greedy
                      A touch bar MBP costs £1700+ in the UK.
                      Who will buy at this price unless you have a lots of money and desperate to spend it

                        big audience psychology: just bring it to higher attention of ppl regardless of context, itl stick. Also tell them not to buy so they dont feel persuaded then not buy.. etc..

                            Eventually we'll get close enough to see that it is all just a mirage.
