B&H Photo Offering 15-Inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro With $200 Discount and Copy of Parallels 12

The new MacBook Pros must be selling fantastical for B&H to offer this deal.

A couple more hundred dollars off and it might actually be worth it.

If the sales at the margin the bean counters demand is not there, they WILL kill the whole Mac line. That is just how they operate. Just watch the new iMacs not appear if the Macbook "Pro" margins do not hold. They undoubtedly have planned similar price hikes for the iMacs.

Remember: Apple will continue to get further and further behind as the company is being harvested by Wall Street for short term profits and stock price. Getting out of the Mac business, raising prices to absurd levels, stopping development of airport express and monitors, falling behind on iPhone features, QC problems, as well as massive stock buybacks point directly to the bean counters having taken over the company.

We have all seen this with so many tech companies. It seems to be Apple's turn

I wouldn't think they would be discounting them if they were the best selling Macbook Pro models yet.

Loyalty has its limits. Mine have been reached. 2012 Mac Pro, 2015 MacBook Pro. The last pro computers from Apple that made any sense.

I'll stick with my rMPB 2012 until Apple creates an actual "Pro" laptop.
"Pro" laptops need:
- A battery that last more than 3 hour when doing actual work.
- Magsafe for obvious reasons.
- An option for Nvidia GPUs since some of use use CUDA for our jobs.
- Traditional USB and HDMI ports, or include the damn dongles for free.

For some reason Tim changed the meaning of "Pro" from "work horse" to "fashion".
