I have mine on order and can’t wait to get it.

After fifteen years of using 13” MacBooks, last year I picked up a 2015 15” MBP and absolutely love the screen size. What I don’t love so much is how damn hot it gets when I’m doing basically nothing.

So I’m looking forward to using a new machine that’s got somewhat more computational headroom, while still being the same size.

Will be interesting to see how this sells. Limited benefits with less portability. Not for me, but I’m sure it will sell well for people simply after a particular screen size.

I predict it will be their best selling laptop. Most people don't need any more power than the air and the bigger screen is always nice.

I just don't need the specs on a Pro model, but since the laptop is my primarily device (not docking or connecting to an external monitor), the extra screen real estate is a big plus. Just didn't want to spend over $1k more for the screen, so the 15" Air is exactly what I've been waiting for.

This is pretty much exactly where I am. Can't justify the Pro cost for what I do on it, but love the larger screen. Looking forward to getting a 15.
