update "the design" to what? Apple doesn't do change for change's sake. the new MP chassis design changed because the entire guts changed. that isn't the case with a laptop like this.

No and No, there hasn't.
The last 13" or under Apple laptop with discrete graphics was the 12" PowerBook G4, now a good 10 years old. The PowerPC laptops didn't have integrated graphics options so it's a bit of a red herring.
Were you expecting Apple to invent a time machine and travel to the future to get new chips from Intel?
So MacBook air is the same design as MacBook pro, according to you? It's just thinner, lighter, whatever?
if it's thinner then it's a new design. objects don't just resize themselves, dur.
as if it even matters. a new design doesn't make my devices inherently better in any way.
New Mac Pro vs. this MacBook Pro update = oranges and tires.
The worthwhile update to the Mac Pro was SO much more than the form-factor. Why would Apple offer a major MacBook Pro design update for a trivial component upgrade? The Mac Pro was given a significant overhaul for it's radical redesign.
If Apple is going to do a redesign, it will be with the Broadwell chip and probably a GPU upgrade - and hopefully. HOPEFULLY the ability to upgrade the memory to 32GB.
Yea same here! I was holding out till the very latest for uni this sept! Glad I waited for a $100 off and CPU bump. I'm getting a configured maxed out 13"
My current Mbp 15" from 2011. The extra real estate is a luxury but I ain't gonna lug this piece of aluminium around
cheersAnd the whining for this and that continues.... Stay tune tomorrow for....?
A million up votes and stars for that comment.
The entitlement behavior of the few who always want the latest, are never satisfied with what is being offered is nauseating.
If it is so easy to pull out the next generation of faster chips and bring them to production, develop your own.
If people would wait for every product to be perfect (as in their personal liking)
in the tech area, wed never buy anything.
Errr, no. The design is still relatively new, nowhere near due for an overhaul. They can, however, be blamed for not reintroducing the 17" and not including a GTX850m.

It will get interesting when the 13'' gets a quad-core CPU, together with a lower-end, but still fast and power efficient Maxwell GPU.
Guess it's possible with Broadwell/SkyLake, if Apple wants, and are not stuck in their product differentiation schemes.
Until then, no thanks.

And hopefully add a high end laptop to support professionals that require a portable 17" retina.
Exactly. Apple isn't going to do a redesign for a minor spec bump like this. This is basically a back to school refresh that Apple hopes will tide people over until they can release new machines with Broadwell.
people say "blame intel" in response to the buffoons who say to blame apple for new major upgrades to it, despite the fact that Intel is the component supplier.
I'm definitely NOT buying these, as I'll be waiting for Broadwell... but I like what they have done with the line here, standardizing on 16GB, etc. I would have liked to see an upgraded chip above the 750M, but I suppose that will have to wait for the next update, which I'm onboard for.
I'm fairly certain he's referring to this abrupt refresh being because the Broadwell release being too late for a major refresh in 2014, and that's all on Intel. As for not updating the discrete GPU, why would they, knowing that it would be one less improvement to drive sales of the 2015 rMBP? Apple realizes that their yearly refresh has somewhat painted them into a corner. It's become expected. The processor upgrade is meant to maintain the image that they aren't just standing still and to make it a bit more attractive to buyers that, for whatever reason, cannot hold off a purchase until the Broadwell refresh drops.
A fusion drive is both an SSD and a spinning HD.
Basic stuff that should be in the mbp's.
SSD for OS and apps and spinning HD for data.
Until everyone can afford the 1TB+ SSD's ofc.
Blame Apple for taking out the superdrive and making it thinner instead of sticking in an SSD+HD combo (i.e. Fusion Drive)
If all you do is surf the web and check your emails then ya, sure, a single small SSD will be fine for you.
I make music and video.
I already have to keep offloading my music, video and photo's onto an external drive every few months with my current 256GB SSD + 1.5TB HD late 2011 mbp.
...and don't start going on about the "average consumer". This is meant to be a Pro laptop.
I don't want a spinning drive or a superdrive in my computers. It's 2014!
If storage is an issue then get a NAS. No one needs to keep their entire photo/video/movie/music libraries with them at all times.
