I think it has the potential to be an interesting alternative to a touch screen. Some of the examples did look modestly useful. I will, however, miss the volume and music forward/back keys which I actively use. Like anything else, I'll have to wait and see how it works in practice.

I've been holding off on updating my macbook pro, but I think I'm going to skip this generation and buy used. The lack of an nvidia gpu is a giant pita. You never get good cuda performance on a laptop, but it's nice to be able to test code on one.

If they expand up to 32g ram though I'm buying one the second they go live on the site.

Looks like they still use LPDDR3, with no 32GB option even in the 15-inch. I wonder if they want to go to LPDDR4 when Intel supports it.

aww, bummer. I've been refreshing apple.com but the new laptops aren't up yet.

I waited until the new pages were up specifically to see that they are still using LPDDR3. They left this important info out of their keynote, only mentioning "2133Mhz".
