Ok, that seems to be the big news. Touch Bar looks very cool. Are the prices going to scare people off? Remember, the classic Air is still just $999.

"The MacBook Pro lineup are the best notebooks we have ever made."
Shara Tibken 10/27/2016 6:21:28 PM

That said, the MacBook Pro is the single most universally useful laptop anyone makes.
