They (possibly) brought the escape key back. That feels radical for Apple.
So what can we expect from Apple? A little unicorn told that this time Apple will present a totally awesome product! There will be a new trademark labeling it as ‘true wireless‘ with no more physical ports at all introducing the wireless thunderbolt and true Qi charging first time seen on a laptop.
The awesome butterfly keyboard will be replaced with TouchKey(tm) expanding the Touchbar to the whole area so you can see live Animojis while typing.

Fourth, behind iPhone, Watch, iPad, with the AppleTV, HomePod and the iPod touch coming in DEAD last.
Yeah, them choosing to do 2x2 on the cheaper pro’s lately was just a small way of cost cutting sadly
Surely the Apple TV ranks ahead of the Mac mini. Apple TV has become Apple's HTPC offering, a role that used to belong to the mini.
Mac as a HTPC - no longer a priority. Mac as a server - no longer a priority. It's kind of surprising the Mac mini got a refresh at all, despite the fact that it took four years because it was so far down the list of priorities and Apple had to justify it with a massive price increase (with lackluster Core i3 + 128 GB on the base model).

You just described a bloated windows laptop.
Not going to happen. The lid will have to be at least 2-3x thicker to fit the camera module. Why do you think it has such a sh*tty webcam. They can't fit anything else.
^I fear that's true. They were able to update the webcam in the iMac Pro because it's a desktop. But somehow I don't think the webcam in the MBP will ever be updated unless webcam/FaceID technology changes so that such a camera module could fit it in thin lid of the MBP.
I really do not need a 16” but 14” would be perfect!

We can only hope!
You don't even need to do that. Apple menu -> About This Mac -> Displays
"All new design"
You know better than that!. My bet is a new display type, and this is as close as they could get to being the same size as the old one.

Im still hopeful this is a branch off the macbook tree, rather than a replacement for the existing one.
And i think it is more a Macbook Sans pro. Just because the display is 16" doesnt mean it is a better display!
(The hint of no touch bar has me all excited! I am probably tricking myself, so i guess i will try to enjoy the delusion as long as possible!)
I think the 16" is the new macbook...imagine the abundance of choice if there were 2 macbook pros AND 2 macbooks?
A new KB (and maybe a touchbar with a PHYSICAL Esc key not part of it) would be enough for me. More screen real estate and any other improvements will just be gravy.
I could wish for a return of maglock power cord, though I know we're not getting it.
Come on Apple - you'll get my $4K or so (depending on the configs offered) + a new iPadPro for Side Car use and I'll be fully "back in the ecosystem" again. Even an iPhone (I was starting to lose faith when the Mac neglect set in and so happy you're paying attention again), and when they get more medical functions, a watch.
Adobe and Office 360 will get new subscribers. And more.
Take my money! All of you! Lots of us are past ready already.
And how long we should wait until all the MacBook lineup shares the updated keyboard?
I would bet 9 months when they update the MacBook and MacBook Air with the new keyboard
Hardly. I find it useful in some situations; I just would like Apple to make it more customizable.
So how are Windows laptops able to implement login via facial recognition?
I agree. A likely scenario is some graphics person did a quick mockup and the rumor mill goes wild. MacRumors reacts to anything from Apple like the Russian hands did whenever the Kremlin released a photograph. The tiniest detail fuels rampant speculation and opinions on the product’s supposed strengths and flaws.
Are smaller bezels the main thing you were looking for? I think many of the rest of us were looking for a better keyboard, more ports and better serviceability (you know, Pro things), and more thermal headroom, to make throttling less of a thing.

Can you imagine the cheering if Tim got up on stage and said, "you know what? We think the keyboard we had five years ago was the best keyboard ever, so, we're switching back to it."?
The Macbook Pro will be 16.4'' (exactly!) if you calibrate the size of the screen with respect to the 15.4'' model.
Give me a high refresh screen over the OLED! But I hope they use a decent facetime camera and new back camera, as these have been lacking for years. Throw in an eSim and we'll have a truly Pro machine here.
