Apple's MacBook Pro launch was lame — get used to it

Apple announced new computers Thursday, and they sure weren't what everyone wanted.

The company will release three new versions of the MacBook Pro this year. They contain the requisite internal upgrades making them more powerful than last year's units, but the most significant change is the addition of a slim touchscreen above the keyboard. We're being pretty loose with our definition of "significant," because this upgrade hardly revolutionizes the laptops. Apple doesn't even include the so-called Touch Bar in the cheapest version of the new MacBook Pro, which isn't that cheap.
