    looks like the touch id will also function as the power button? :)

    the rumored removal of the sd card slot is what i don't like though, since i use it a lot..

    Mmm.....still don't understand why Apple still ignores making the entire screen TOUCH-enabled.

    ^Perhaps out of respect... because Steve Jobs said so.

    Steve is a great chap but he said a lot of crap too that Apple has went ahead and 'defied' post his era. Jobs didn't want a stylus and phablet-sized screens either yet Apple makes them now anyway.

    There's still a headphone jack?! So now I need to buy another set of earphones as the one that came with my iPhone 7 Plus can't be used. :ROFLMAO:

    Happy about the new laptop, but not with my ageing workstation. Really tempted to just pre-order a Surface Studio and forget the iMac.

    I'm the most sad about the removal of MagSafe. I'm often around kids and just remembering the amount of times it had saved me... :cry:

    Saw this, and really excited to replace my MacBook Pro as I've been wanting to do so since last year! Will finally take the plunge and do it this time!

    Me too, like most folks here, the sd card slot was my second most used port behind usb. I guess another dongle to take when out on trips. I'm curious about the touch bar but prefered that I could touch type everything - considering it has space especially on the 15 - can't Apple just put the touch bar above the Function keys instead? My two biggest concerns however are battery life, the battery seems smaller (could be wrong) especially now we have to also power a secondary screen which is the touch bar and the butterfly switches for the keyboard - never liked them on my mom's rMacbook. Haha. Exciting as it is, so much is radically new so I'm holding back until the next revision or buying one late into the product cycle. Rev A blues.

    Ps. Oh oh, I wonder what happened if you have four chargers connected on the MBP. Will it charge faster I wonder! Haha
