I don't think they are going to walk back the ports thing now, they are committed to thinness.
So much hate for the current design by so many people - I loved the retina MBPs, but there is so much to love about these ones too. I don't regret getting this model, just don't like it if I could have waited 3 months and gotten a redesigned machine with a bigger screen and no physical size increase.
You won't regret when you upgrade! My 2019 replaced my 2016 15", and I could feel the difference in speed. Just you wait! You'll love it going from a 2012!
no...the screen will be 1" bigger....from 15.4" to around 16.38" based on the resolution and the scalingScreen is 0.6 inch bigger, price might be $xx higher, so let's calculate how much does 0.1-inch cost?
It is kinda sad that you have to pay 3000 $ if you just want portable mac os with a working keyboard ...
you are not paying 3000$ just for an working keyboard..if this become a reality then everybody should wait UNTIL every mac laptop adopt this...
When I say most people, I mean the US because it's one of, if not the largest market for Apple, it's where I'm from, it's all I care about.
he didn’t say you were paying just for a working keyboard. He said that the price of entry into portable macs will be $3000 if you want a working keyboard.
What I think he's saying is that by next year, every mac laptop (even macbook airs) will likely have a 'working' scissor keyboard, so you should wait UNTIL that happens.

Why do you people think apple has to have an event to release a new laptop? I suspect it will be a press release. They've done several product release like that.
Also people forget that they have their own production studio at Apple headquarters now so they do not have to get a venue to announce something. They just get the big wigs to walk down stairs to the studio stand in front of a camera and say hey here is one last thing
No more having to get a auditorium to present, they just use Steve Jobs theater.Anyone who complains about the Touch Bar not being useful should give BetterTouchTool a try. It lets you customize every aspect of it, insert a dock, clock, weather, currently playing song, shortcuts, AppleScripts, etc.
It has turned me into a Touch Bar lover.

First of all, it's only 10:30am here on the East Coast. You admit defeat already?
Secondly, if no press event is announced we still have a good week for a press release.
Be sure when you do make 'love' to that touch bar that you don't accidentally spill 'something' on that fragile keyboard.😀

We have no idea what kind of internal changes they have done. WIFI 6? Faster Processor? Lower storage prices and larger? More memory options? better graphics card? better sound? better camera there are all sorts of technology upgrading they could do. We get a modified Iphone ever year they can change when they want to.

A press release is far more likely, unless they have another "major" product to announce (e.g. new iPad Pro). Even then, these are just iterative updates for comparatively low-volume devices, so a "quiet release" wouldn't surprise me. This is likely a $2799+ device, and not a big sales driver. More significant for Apple will be the next major redesign of the 13" model.

Pro users. I paid like 3500 for current Macbook Pro 2018 model.
I say buy a computer when you needed it. There will always be a new model and you can always trade it in with Apple get a new model. Mac's hold their value and you can use it for a year or two and trade in and upgrade. Even if you have to bring it down by $500 you have use it for a year and got the money out of the technology. Systems are so fast now and software does not expand in needs like the old days.
Until there’s tactile feedback and I can use it without having to look at it, it remains useless regardless of ability to customize.
I'm on my third MBP keyboard already (true story). You must be onto something
