Modular, hmmm. Best mean that a new MacBook Pro will be released that allows us RAM & HD access again; anything less should not have the Pro name to it!

Seconded! And, while we're asking for pleasant surprises, when's the 17-inch Pro coming back? (I actually shouldn't be holding my breath for that, but what can I say? I've always been a fan.)
[doublepost=1539906340][/doublepost]On a more serious note, why were the invites sent out so early this time around? This is 12 days in advance, and the usual lead-in time is only 7 or 8 days. (Maybe they've noticed some Mac enthusiasts have been chomping at the bit lately…?)

What happened to that 3rd image ? Looks likes something seriously messed up that logo.
 
Desktop Macs should be user upgrade-able, then they can be called "pro" machines. I like how they implemented this in the iMac Pro. Even the CPU is socketed, I am very surprised they went for that option. I hope all desktop Macs follow the similar route in the future.

The only real pro machine design is an ATX tower. This is why the trash cab was a head scratcher. It was solid for when it came out but it has very limited upgradability. The iMacs are good enough for some pro work, but that has never been the market for these since their introduction. The iMac Pro is different because it is fully loaded with power. The only thing that could improve it is an RTX GPU aside from a CPU refresh.

Apple could offer Intel’s Extreme Edition CPUs but they consider their pro desktop Macs workstations and have typically gone for Xeon/ECC RAM even though they’re honestly not necessary for most media professionals buying them. They would be leaving money on the table by offering enthusiast chips instead of Xeon W. I believe they share the same socket unlike in the past where Xeon W would’ve been an E5.

I wonder if the Mac Pro will stick with the same Xeon W chips or if they will use more expensive Xeon CPUs instead. Either way I don’t need this sort of performance.

There's more to making huh? Hrmm... Well, given that latest Adobe CS suite, here's what I think!
1. New iPad Pro
2. XCode for iOS
3. One more thing........ new Apple Pencil!
 
Great. First time I can't watch live. That's 4pm in my time zone. Why'd you have to go and change the venue? Some people do work you know!
 
I miss the exquisite Apple logo at the boot-up of iOS6. Seeing that suggested a high-quality experience lied ahead...


I would have to agree these seem to be more "cartoonish" looking at most (not all) of the logos I would expect some sort of children's event

hahaha welcome to my time zone where all the California events take place while I work. I usually just take a longer lunch break - this time around it looks like I will be sick the morning of the event and suddenly feel better in the afternoon ;)

All the details? Really?

Well there was a live announcement at Adobes recent event. . . "Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller today made a surprise appearance at Adobe's MAX conference, which saw Adobe previewing a full version of Photoshop on the iPad, set to be released in 2019."

I like your style :)

And I have to correct myself. Because of the "oh so needed, yearly clock manipulation" it it, of course not 4pm but 3pm.

How likely is to have MacBook Pro freshening?
Maybe new design? CPUs? VGAs changings? A model without touch bar?
It will be very disappointing to buy a new one now and see any of these changes in 10 days..
