13" macbook air with updated internals, a retina screen and a sub-macbookpro price point. Sounds good.
Got a tip for us?

In the market for either a new MacBook Pro or new MacBook. Whichever comes in Matte Black. One can hope.
Maybe I can use a new MacBook Pro as my desktop machine until the iMac is updated. My iMac is dying.
That joke is getting older than the Mac Pro....
I know, it sucks, hopefully they'll prove us wrong on Thursday.
No, they discontinued the Apple Watch that cost tens of thousands.
My God, you're right. You better tell someone at Apple.
It was unprofessional of them to keep pro users in the dark for so long.
At this point it would be grotesque if they won't at least tell us what will happen with the Mac Pro.

Calling it now - 13", 15" and 17" MacBook Pros with gaming-grade video cards. Apple didn't like it to much when they were called out for having sub-par graphics. VR & AR are up and coming they need machines that can handle it.
Yes. Two sizes of mackbook. Lower price for the current MacBook. Two new slimmer MacBook Pro models (comparable to currentAir) that retain the traditional USB-A port. Sorry for the spoilers everyone.
Yes! Another thread to comment in. WoooOOOOOO Getting me a mac book pro!
The "only the 13-inch MacBook Air ..." in that statement was referencing the fact that the 11" MacBook Air is not expected to be updated. The new MacBook Pros are expected to get USB-C.
I agree with you completely. For portables, I have had MPB's. I work off an iMac but I do have a 2010 MBP in the closet with a trashed video/logic board. That computer still smells new! I missed the cut off date to have it fixed. I was in the store recently for something and they told me "oh, we still take care of those. I just did one a week ago." Maybe I have a shot?
I apologize for getting sidetracked.
Umm, well if you don't want USB-C, smaller body or the touchbar then you are likely going to be disappointed. I'm not sure what people are expecting from an updated laptop.
Weird timing, as Kaby Lake chips have started to come out, but the 15-inch MBP will have to get Skylake instead since we're pretty much in between two releases. Either way, we're more than overdue for updated MBPs.
My biggest fear however is to end up with a lifestyle-life dummification of the pro line, please don't throw a super slim notebook with one or two USB-C ports at us. Keep MagSafe, have a mix of USB and USB-C (for peripherals and TB3), keep the goddamn audio port, then you can dazzle us with all your fancy and useless touchbars all you want.

Was really hoping for new iMacs and Mac Pros. I have $3500.00 to spend and can't argue for doing it on out of date tech considering what I can buy in parts for that price. Why does MacOS have to be so ballin and Windows still so lame lol...
But at least Skylake MacBook Pros are in the right direction.

What you're saying is you have nothing insightful to contribute?
Here's hoping. I am ready to buy a new iMac immediately.
They discontinued it because it's ridiculous. Doesn't change the fact that it's been only about a year since they had the idiotic idea to do it in the first place. It's not like it's some ancient misstep from back when Tim Cook just started.
They're too busy trying to convince people that the iPad Pro is all you need.
I had hoped for a similar announcement; however as a business man I don't think I'd announce a future upgrade on an existing product...that could have a severe negative impact on holiday/4th Qtr sales of the current model.
MAC PRO should be Apple's #1 priority. Not MacBook Pro!
Another leak orchestrated by the Russians to undermine Cook's event on Thursday.
Wow, it really looks like it'll just be an update to the Macbook Pro's and the Air...they definately need it, but the rest of the line really needs updating too (although the iMac can get a pass if you can stand its GPU's).
