I haven't heard anyone talk about TouchID and the Secure Enclave chip interacting with FileVault. I understand FileVault can be easy to break into but will its (hopeful) use of the Secure Enclave provide an unbreakable key for FileVault like it does for the iPhone?

The graphics options are very weak for a high end laptop. I have a 2015 MBP and I will be looking at alternative plateforms with better GPU options, i.e., I'm done paying top dollar for secretary no class graphics processing

You need to look at another AI article, http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/10/27/amd-radeon-pro-450-455-460-chipsets-debuting-in-the-macbook-pro-detailed-benchmarked, that shows how much of a difference the new AMD chipsets make. Find another laptop GPU that can drive two 5K monitors as well as the Retina display. What's a "secretary no class graphics processing" supposed to mean?

does anyone know if the SSD is removable ? if yes I will just go for the 1Tb version and upgrade later to a 2Tb SSD when they become available from third parties.
