Masha,Allah bro , really really nice , i mean to buy for myself too but i m afraid with a laptop with amd card in it .. see if you could do a complete review of this machine as i & ofcourse alot of people searching for this machine wants to know about it ,

Thermal throttling when doing some tasks intensive "computers gets extremely warm and lower its clock speed to cools down , and effect overall performance "
Speaker issue in Windows10 when using BootCamp "speaker goes Puff and never turns on even after booting back to OSx"
Graphics Glitch , really really scary .. . .

Free shipping within US and some one will bring it ... :)
It was $229 last night ... Let's hope my friend grabbed them at 229 but 250 is also an amazing price

Thanks bro and let me just go through the things you mentioned one by one

For throttling I can't comment because I just started using it and I will take it though its paces when I will do something intensive such as video editing and gaming but what I have heard so far is that the fans ramp up a bit later on these so as a result they do get slightly warm to the touch but on the bright side this thing is dead silent I mean it feels like there isn't even a fan inside. I literally just placed my ear next to it so that I can hear lol

Speakers issue was real and part of the reason why my MacBook was delayed as they were fixing it and there were some hardware aspects to it as well....as of right now according to the Apple Store team the issue has been fixed in the new software update and also there's an updated real audio driver for windows 10 bootcamp that started causing this in the first place.

GPU is alright those crazy bugs are fixed and again could be the reason for delays but I did specifically asked the Apple Store about this issue on my last visit and they assured that the issue has been fixed it no longer prevails....my laptop came with the latest version of Sierra out of the box which means it was manufactured one of these days so any thing you buy from now on will be just fine.

Track pad palm rejection well the reason why I am typing on the MacBook right now as well as the whole review was this I wanted to check how well the palm rejection works and really I haven't noticed a single instance where it has interfered even once and even if it does once in a while its okay it could have been a lot worse I mean you really rest your palms on the trackpad 80% of the time lol

I don't know if its exaggeration but I am fairly positive that I have seen all the MacBook Pro reviews on youtube since launch I mean the ones in English and really if you listen to the reasons why they didn't like the MacBook Pro or why they thing its not worth it why you should get the previous one over this was mostly the I/O ports they are always talking about dongles and SD card slot dongles and SD dongles and SD over and over again they do have some valid points towards touch bar being a gimmick or whatever but I mean seriously I think that is ridiculous and they all had the last year model so yeah maybe they don't like it maybe they are better off using old machines but it was my first purchase and I'd be damned if I had picked the last year model over this as I mentioned earlier I had the money with me last year and It was my birthday present I still said no I want to wait for the refresh lol.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
