And there is no better way of screwing yourself over than by delaying things on the PC front.
If you want to make the PC the best is can be and show just how poor everything else is, you want to storm ahead like a powerhouse.
Not slow down and confirm that it's not advancing.
Just wait a couple weeks before it ends and return it within 14 days if they come out with the newer one.
Offer people expensive crippled throwaway computers with less storage and slower or barely faster CPUs than what they already have and it's no wonder they are not buying.
Yep, 17+ inch please. Mine is getting old and when it breaks, i'm going to be forced to buy whatever available 17+ inch laptop exists. In our work, our computers have to be portable and 15 inch is just too damn small. 17 inch is really too small, but acceptable, really 18 or 19 inch would be better.

imo the main reason they didn't put the 850m is because its just a refresh , look they know most people are waiting for broad well , so why split the attention and give the refresh an 850m , when you can make the next update something so valuable/powerful that even people that have the 2012 rMB or 2013 rMB would want to buy it , its all a marketing scheme , you make people wait and build up for something great they know is coming in 2015 and you mass sell that device
Well if the banner is from an official Apple Retail Store and the update is not imminent and if Apple didn't deliberately leak this then I would think someone at Apple will get in big trouble over this.
I don't think Apple would be likely to produce such banners till a launch is imminent (i.e. within the next few weeks).
by the time they come out with broadwell + 800 series gpu ... 900 series will be out.
apple is so delayed.
you can get an msi laptop with 870m for less than 1900$ on amazon.

it was from an apple store that opened up this week somewhere in china , id assume its going to happen real soon like a 1-3 weeks

unless they do an early-2015 broadwell with an 850m and a late-2015 with an 950m
You can scale up the resolution on the 15" Retina models to have the same screen real-estate (and even more) than the old 17" models.
I really really hope so, coz I'm tired of having crappy graphics in Macbooks. All the other specs are just fine, but Apple always seem to skimp on the graphics card
Only the 17-inchs had decent graphics. I'm still using my 17 inch Early 2009 MBP with a dedicated NVIDIA 9600M GT gpu.
Such a shame they discontinued them :/

I'm looking for a rMBP for BYOD to work and would like to get the updated 15" especially if it comes with 16GB. Hope we see this soon.
If it has decent graphics and the 16GB ram standard, I'm there. Been holding off getting a new portable, but their current lineup leaves much to be desired.
It also started as little more than a side project. It provided an additional use for idevice chips with less stringent performance requirements, thus cutting down on wasted silicon.
I'm with you, but Apple has never shared my concerns.
Not trying to look cool at Starbucks, just want to get some work done.
Still, I'd settle for a 17" Revival, Non-Retina Please.
Or you could squeeze your head in a vise till the 15" seemed bigger. Not the same thing.
The iPod Classic might finally get axed
Why are you happy about that ? You must not own a modern car or have only a few gigs of crap music.
