i asked one utama mac city staffs two weeks ago, he said demo unit only available on dec.

not gonna spend 9k for a lappy without demo it first.

if you buying for working purpose then its ok.

but i buy it just for entertainment purpose, since the price is quite high, if i dont find the touchbar is useful/ attractive enough in real life, i will just buy a 2-3k window lappy first and wait for next release of mbpr.

frankly this mbpr price is kinda disappointed me, was aiming around 7k-8k.

nope, 13" with 512gb and 16gb ram.
agreed on the new bar gonna be standard feature, i foresee that the next generation's touchbar gonna be bigger and have haptic feedback.

all reviews on internet is using base model without touchbar so there's no real life reviews on it. so i just at least wait for dec to demo it first before spending money on it.

another buying factor for me is i can claim 3k computer tax relief for this year, so i die die need to buy a lappy before this year ends.

eyeing for lappy quite few years already, so ngam next year no more 3k computer tax relief so better buy one within this year lo.

i can afford it just that feeling not worth since we need to allocate around extra 1k to buy applecare + adapter dock separately.

owc dock looks cool but needs dc power to drive it, properly will buy one for house.

if i go outside from my house i will properly just buy a usb-c to usb-a adapter for external harddisk.

i dont need to charge my phone via lappy, if transferring files i can use air-play feature.

yeaa, possibly will take this one because sd card slot isn't my concern. i need usb-a and hdmi only.

thanks for the suggestion!

yea agreed, but you need to buy one for temporary because you cant do anything without it.
next year should have more choices and better quality.

should be this week as they started shipping first batch last friday.
