yup! the estimates were correct. the $2699 model comes with 512gb ssd and 16gb ram. before this price only got you 256gb ssd and 8gb ram. Great savings across the board. Plus you get new processors and a decent keyboard.

Yes MacBook Pro are getting cheaper. This is similar to 2015 MacBook Pro which it is the lowest price point to get a MacBook Pro that time. After 2016 redesign, price increases again. now in the 4th year of the redesign, price becomes another new Low.

I spent $2780 for my MBP 2017 also with 512gb storage and 16GB. 4 ports Touch Bar version.

Now only cost $2549.

It's cheaper now cos Apple is preparing for new design with Mini LED later this year.

14" and 16" and and 12" with ARM chip next year.

Likely to have a new redesign and with ARM chip.

Initially my MacBook Pro 2017 is facing some issues with ghosting problem on the display.

Surprisingly, now it is solved by itself.

I sent in to Apple authorised dealer to diagnose but they said no issue can be found. However, if I were to replace the display, it costed $1k++ with display replacement fee and diagnosis fee.

Lucky I did not opt for it.

Nice to see that the price is cheaper (comparatively) since it's the 5th year of roughly the same redesign. But no 14 inch display :(

its cheaper because apple has finally decided to double the storage and ram. thats it. you are paying $600 less than before. it was quite ridiculous that some 4tb port models in 2016- 2018 started at 128gb and costs $300 to upgrade to 256 and another 300 for 512. Ram is also $300 more for 8 - 16gb upgrade. If you checked the 2019 13 inch macbook pros. it costs 3.2k to get 512gb ssd and 16gb ram. now the same variant is 2699 sgd.
