so my comments here can only be positive...and only be if I plan on buying an Apple product. Oh, ok...thanks for that memo.
Some folks actually like critical reviews rather than just believing everything is so "magical."
Got a tip for us?

Got a 2014 MBP 15" a month ago. The only thing I find interesting with the 2015 is the faster ssd interface. My ssd now is crazy fast so not a big deal.
The Ati in my 2011 MBP 15" is what killed it (over and over again), so I'm glad I got an Nvidia. I'm also in no hurry to adopt force touch until it has a proven record.

^This. Fall will mark 3 years since the iMac case redesign. I want a 5K iMac in a new enclosure (space gray, gold, silver options) with a smaller chin/bezel, Force Touch Magic Trackpad, and backlit Bluetooth keyboard. #DreamiMac
Hoping the Core 2 Duo can limp along for a few more months until they issue an upgrade that won't make me feel like a sucker.
I bought the mid-2014 to get me to Skylake. Was planning to sell this and upgrade then, but I'm definitely not upgrading for this machine. I'm sure it'll be great, but Skylake is where there'll be a real bump.
Ahhhh I don't know, this is one curve ball I wasn't expecting!!!
Should I order, should I order, what are the gains??????
Ahhhhhhhhhh
It's like the 1990's all over again.
Those black G3 Powerbooks were cool, but I remember how bloody expensive they were. I think I paid $3499 CDN for one.
Hilarious that people on here were going "I think it'll be Skylake with a redesigned shell and the butterfly keys from the Macbook"
People just have no common sense do they!?
And the 21" iMacs will continue to sell with the same specs and same price that they have for the past 20 (!!) months. Just... Wow. I really want a new iMac, but Apple is not helping here.
Totally agree, I've been waiting patiently since I got my Haswell rMBP on day one... Now they release this utter ************!!!
To say I'm pissed off is an understatement, I was happily ready to buy a new rMBP today, I'm not throwing down £2k for another lame Haswell chip and AMD's inefficient dunk and terrible driver support.
Thanks Apple, off to see what the competition has to offer, extremely bitter.
I'm hoping Apple is going to buy up a good chunk of Skylake chips so they can be among (if not) the first to launch hardware to take advantage of the new tech.
Intro in Oct/Nov and ship in a 4-6 weeks wouldn't be too bad. I'm sure that's rather optimistic, but we can hope.
Apple updating the 15" to Broadwell in the Fall would be crappy. Unless they offer it alongside Skylake models as a less expensive option.

I mixed up the M270X and the M370X for a bit. Apple appears to be using parts (or at least names) not announced by AMD yet, since the M370X and M290 are not on AMD's laptop graphics page.
I highly doubt Apple will update any Mac more than once a year...and October is only 5 months away...so if Apple updated today, there is no chance Apple is going to update again in 5 months.
Are they really that bad?
They're not, and I don't understand the hate. By now Apple has had recalls for both nVidia and AMD graphics chips. And there are some applications where AMD's architecture is superior to nVidia's, bitcoin mining being one.
