hahahaha! Good one!It'd be cool if they renamed Siri to Kitt, and whenever you'd say "hey Kitt", the OLED strip would show a pulsating red light.
I'm envisioning something along the lines of a display of the bar when needed, a display of the F keys when needed, plus the ability to adjust volume/brightness etc, by press and slide, rather than requiring a separate up, down and on/off key.
I just need something soon though, this 2007 MBP is giving up the ghost!
Yeah, this kills me. I'm holding off on buying about 10 new MacBook Pros at work, and really not wanting to buy the current models this late in their model cycle. Typically we keep them 4 years or so, and needing so many at once, I want to get the most modern architecture I can. Was really hoping for good news at WWDC. If this timing is right, it's a major bummer.
Valid?... That's cute.
From day one, Apple have consistently focused on closed, user-friendly systems, rather than the power-hungry switchboard mechanics you get from Windows and Linux. If they lost their way at any point in their history it was in the nineties when they attempted to cater to the open PC market.
Since the iMac, Apple have continued to push for intuitive, and purposefully limited computer designs. As a professional artist, illustrator and 3D animator, who uses an array of heavy-grade software on a MacBook Pro everyday, I can honestly say that I don't want, nor should I need, an airport of big-boy options. Give me something simple and constraining so a real professional can just get to work.
To me the key differentiator between the MBP and all other Mac laptops is the wider array of built-in i/o ports and the discrete video option. But only the top end 15" MBP has discrete video, so truly the array of built-in ports is the difference. The MB and MBA are razor thin BUT very limited built-in i/o. So I hope this rumored haircut for MBP does not take it in the same neutered port direction as those two laptops because I would like a new MBP where "P" is for Pro not Plus.
Hopefully not for very long at a time. If you are leaving a warm laptop on your lap for hours at a time you will basically cook yourself. And by the time it becomes physically evident that you've damaged yourself it will be hard to reverse the damage. Note this is something that happens over weeks, not just in one sitting.
Exactly! They'd be missing a key part of the market if Ming means tax q4, not fiscal year q4.
The Touch ID unlock with iPhone will be a intro into Touch ID into OS X and then full fingerprint in late year
THIS article explain a possible idea behind that oled strip

Yes, I wrote that article. There's a reason the iPad Pro smart keyboard doesn't have the top row of function keys—you can reach the screen with your hands still on the keyboard and use Control Center to adjust volume, etc.
The rumored OLED strip seems to be Apple's way of adding touch to a laptop without making the screen a full touchscreen display (which adds cost and is awkward to use).
Perhaps the OLED strip is just the beginning—doesn't Apple have patents on a full-touchscreen keyboard with simulated key presses using haptic feedback? Maybe the future is a full-size OLED "keyboard" that becomes a trackpad and/or even a second screen for laptops (& desktops? Magic Keyboard 3?).
I'm confused by those complaining about Touch ID on here????? Apple is YEARS behind everyone else with finger print security on laptops, and I do mean years, as in they haven't ever done it. You can even get the option on the Surface Pro 4.
I would love to have the feature on a computer, much easier and safer then a password.
So long as this model retains the dedicated GPU I'll be pretty interested in it, would like a dual screen desktop setup and I've never been taken with the iMac, keep looking at it but I really like the Mac Pro, but it's too much and the specs are old, and the MacBook Pro. My current one from 2010 with it's noisy fan is hanging on in there haha.

Read what I wrote again. Replacing the function keys only makes sense if it also replaces the dock and the user is dumb enough to need that.
Question..
Why do you need to touch the screen on the Surface Pro/ Surface Book when using the keyboard and trackpad?
As someone already stated on here, Apples 4th quarter starts in June. And someone said next year is the MacBooks Pro 11th year, so this year will be the 10th anniversary, sounds right for a full redesign.

You don't need to. It's an option I guess, the Surface Pro is a tablet in design so it makes more sense to have a full touch screen, and then it has the pen of course.
So Skylake was supposed to be a 2015 chip, yet Apple will include it until almost 2017? Sounds about right.
The blog post talks about the iPad Pro, not the Surface.
On an iPad Pro, the Smart Keyboard is very short because it doesn't have the function keys; this allows your fingers to reach the screen for Control Center or for the new keyboard toolbar (autocorrect word choices, bold/italic/underline, font, etc.). Very handy!
It's Apple's fiscal Q4 (June 26th to September 25th), not the calendar Q4... All signs point to a WWDC reveal and early July shipments.
PLEASE DON'T PUT THE GOD_AWFUL MACBOOK KEYBOARD IN THE PRO!
I've tried it out numerous times and really really dislike it.
Please....
