I can't believe it. Have they lost their minds? I was trying to buy one yesterday but I couldn't find one so I gave up and got a 2015 model with integrated graphics.

I believe this is due to the desire to have 5k display support across all the new Pros, and none of the integrated graphics chips available now can wing it.

Seems likely that the 2017 models will drop in price a bit and have integrated graphics for the baseline models.
