Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[Mkondrak]

feeling disappointed with those bezels .... feels like there is more space being used by bezels than the screen itself....

what were you expecting then? a dell xps type bezels? I personally find the bezels to strike a good medium between what we have now and the dell. with the dell try to open the lid without leaving smudges on the leds (the actual display part). it's practically impossible. with the new MacBook Pro there is enough space for you to leave your smudges on the bezel away from the leds.

so no other colors found in system files?

Well done @Ebcdic it's nice to see an actual rumor/fact come straight from out group!

 

[mattburley7]

i wouldn't be surprised if apple accidentally leaks the macbook pro on twitter right before the start of the event like they did with iphone 7.. opps lol

 

[ebcdic-]

@ebcdic- send that to the front page, quick!

I've sent it to various places, we'll see who publishes it first.

Also if the bezel is too much smaller, then expect a wimpier webcam (and remember all the backlash about the 12" 480p webcam). I don't want the webcam to be significantly worse than the front-cams on the i-devices.

that's definitely the 13in. unless Apple made the keyboard giant.

They've changed the design then, the 13 inch doesnt currently have the speaker grills running along the edge of the keyboard.

Those keys look like MacBook keys amirite?

Yes. Unfortunately.

Oh my god.

I don't have Sierra anyone play around substituting other letters for (A) between

Versions/(A)/Resources or

ApplePaySplashS(A)?

Any possibility that more images exist if a second was just uncovered? Any other spots it'd appear other than TouchID settings?

 

[TechZeke]

Apple almost never seems to impress with bezels. Almost all competing 5.5-inch display smartphones are smaller in size than the iPhone, the iPad still has big bezels, as does the iMac - it's almost like it's part of their design language.

Bezel's have their uses, especially on mobile devices. I'd much rather have something to hold onto.

Also, I think Dell's bezel design on the XPS line is vastly overrated. It has that hideous and monstrous bottom bezel with the webcam in the worst spot possible. I'd much rather have the much more even bezel design of the MacBooks.

I hope we see different colors lol

No and no, unfortunately.

mac pro and mac mini dead. its official.

 

[mahcus36]

So is the Touch ID section of the OLED bar also gonna be our power button? doesnt look like it goes down, based on the pic

 

[mattburley7]

there probably are more colors just not in the system files. we need some surprises for thursday!

If you zoom in you can see that the Touch ID part is separate from the magic toolbar. so I'd presume that it's a button.

Indeed, that there is a "MacBook Pro" at the bottom of the bezel also suggests that whoever created this is using new device mockup assets. So this is what we are going to see on Thursday.

Joy and Happiness

 

[blackberrycubed]

Jet pink will be the new macbook pro "other" color. Will go nicely with the rainbow oled display.

 

[mattburley7]

now if we could get photos showing how many usb c ports we are getting...

 

[navaira]

The characters on second photo are misaligned which is driving me slightly mad.

Yeah i guess so, but I must say, i wish it had a label or something on it.

 

[Terrance94]

OMFG

My #1 hope is they won't write 'MacBook Pro' under the screen. I think they wanted to on the current rMBP but couldn't for technical reasons.

I thought there was absolutely no way they would add it back. I was wrong.
