TechnoBuffalo reported the 13-inch model starts at $1,799 and the basic 15-inch model at $2,799. The configured 15-inch model will cost $4,299. Upgrading the storage from 512GB to 2TB adds $1,200 more. The new MacBook Pro promises better all-around performance along with a much improved display and a smaller overall footprint. It also carries a pair of Thunderbolt 3/USB-C Ports with RAM configuration options of up to 16GB.

The drastic increase of MacBook's price caught some prospective buyers' off-guard. In an interview with CNET, Apple executive Phil Schiller said that the company is mainly focused on the quality of its products than the price. 

 "Although affordability is something we take into consideration, we are more into the quality of our product. We design for the experience that the people usually expect from Mac." He explained.
