One anomaly is that the "four Thunderbolt 3 ports" i5 model is £100 cheaper than the two port model with the i7, and that's completely different internally with a much higher grade of processor (in thermal headroom terms), and it's 2 generations newer.
(models with higher spec processors do tend to run hotter and can burn through batteries quickly if you actually use their power, so it's not all upside)

Ha! So its just happened with little to no fanfair - not got the bigger screens some predicted, just better specs and keyboard.
So, just not sure whether to go with the base MBP model which is i5, 8GB, 256, or put the 16gb in for £100 more. Do people agree that the i7 upgrade is unnecessary given it costs £300 more?
Sorry for all the questions....
