After almost four without renewing the MacBook Pro, the guys from Cupertino have finally launched a complete renovation of the MacBook Pro that users were waiting for so long, a renovation that has led to a price increase, having to pay $ 200 more for the model of entry to the MacBook Pro range. In the United States the forums and Reddit are fuming after the announcement of the prices of these new models of MacBook prices that reach 4.299 dollars without taxes. That same MacBook in Europe and Asia soar exceeding 5.300 euros. In fact, if we calculate the price of a roundtrip flight to the United States, we still save some money by buying the new MacBooks there.
Surely many of the users who were waiting for the renewal of the MacBook Pro will be thinking that if they had known the price that these new models would reach, they would have better left them as they were. Apple has always had a reputation for offering its products at a high price, but in general between generation and generation the company usually keeps them stable. The iPhone is a clear example of what I am talking about. Although it is true that each year it is more expensive, 4 or 50 euros more expensive, the price does not go up as has happened with the renewal of the MacBook Pro.
The substantial price increases are putting a big damper on these announcements for a lot of people.

In the United States, until the presentation of the new MacBook Pro, we could find the cheapest model for $ 1.300, while the entry model liked $ 1.500, and without having the fingerprint sensor and the touch bar. If we want to enjoy them, we have to fork out $ 1.799. If we talk about the cheapest MacBook Pro, we see how before the presentation of the new models, the MacBook Pro was priced at $ 1.999 and now we can find it for $ 2.300.
In the last few quarters we have seen how lMac sales have been falling steadily. These new models should stop the fall but at the prices at which they reach the market, Apple may have passed the list and is forced to lower prices if it really wants to stop the sales decline.
Not to be scared! Teams with those prices with DDR3L memory hahahaha. Hallucino
The price has not changed much, if you look at last year's MacBook Pro which costs $ 2,299 brings almost the same in features, the only thing that brings better last year's is that it came with 500 SSD and this year the processor is 2.6 core i7 It is a little better than last year and if we add the news practically what has increased is $ 100 the price feels more because now that MacBook Pro is the most economical configuration when last year it was the highest but between price and features the price almost stays!
I am one of those who think they have gone overboard with prices. The market will agree or take it away, but I really believe that they have passed. With these prices, I don't think they will attract new users and those of us who are already on the platform will think about it a lot before renewing at these prices.
