Any thoughts on whether or not the store will go live with these models at some point during the event? I don’t want to watch until the end then find out that they opened the store half an hour ago and I’m now in the queue for a February ship date.
2023 is going to be great: pandemic over, economy recovering, iPhone 15, new and improved MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon, Apple Watch with glucose reading, HomePod's second coming with Apple TV and FaceTime built-in, Apple Glasses with AirPods built-in, macOS Monterey with all the promised features...I don't know about you, but I can't wait. 🎆
Maybe there are no Macs and they are going to announce the new wireless dog trackers everyone didn't know they needed
To all those planning on splurging, could you list some of the projects you plan on using it for? Even if its just to satisfy your gadget fix and surf Macrumors, let me know what you are planning on using it for.
Currently I use my M1 MBP to manage my budget in Excel, submit my timesheets, listen music, watch a lot of YouTube on a Dell 20 inch monitor thats connected which I got from work, chat with friends, social media.

iMacs with batteries? ;-)

Apple's hardware releases are exciting, but they shouldn't ever be THAT exciting.
Hold and edit my photo library (Lightroom), control my home audio system, run a few social media apps like Discord, Store my ripped music collection, but mostly I just want a big screen machine for browsing the web, Google Docs, Maps, watching videos/streaming, etc. My 2014 MBP is getting pretty long in the tooth. It’s time to replace it.
the only thing i want in the macbook pro is what the rumors said a few months ago. nothing more, nothing less.
The past is gone and can't be changed. The future is unlikely to look like what you think it will (the brain doesn't have the ability to imagine everything at that time, e.g. when people think of retirement they don't think of the bad health of old age). Given the current economic and political environment, it is virtually impossible to know what 2023 will bring. Focus on the present because it's the only thing that is a real experience.
Even if you’re 100% correct, it will still be leaps and bounds better than anything Intel has announced and released in 10 years so I’m failing to see the downside.
I am a developer. I would use it for compiling some projects a little faster. Unfortunately I lately compared the 16 core Mac Pro with my M1 book and it is not much faster. This is due to all CPUs being used rarely. Most of the stuff is single threaded like liking, copying and so on. At least for incremental builds, there is very sadly not much benefit. The initial compile is faster of course. But just having this experience with the Mac Pro before, I think, I won't upgrade, because in practice, I will not see much of a performance difference. The M1 is a fine machine. The only reason to upgrade would be to switch to 32GB RAM, because 16GB is not enough for Xcode/Android Studio and the simulators/emulatores and other development tools at the same time.
It will still be great to see the technology advance. I was hoping for ARM Macs since 2011. To see it really happen, was great. And if Apple can continue like Intel once did, I can't wait to see the advancements they make. Maybe it will be 10 core (4 efficiency + 6 speed) for the books and a pro machine with 8,10,12 speed cores? We will see.
Probably Tim Cook will be so exited about telling us all this, that he couldn't wait and even moved the event from Tuesday to Monday. (I know, it is more likely, that it is because of Google announcing something on Tuesday).
But still Apple could build some marketing around pressing the "play"-button on Monday instead of Tuesday.

There could be people who want to watch this event and haven't watched an event in some time. This article seems helpful to those people. Not everyone watches every Apple event.
Until Timmy boy's evil laugh and grin wakes up those infernal Kookaburras once he hears the ca-ching of the money rolling in.
I'm on a late 2013 15" rMBP at the moment. Assuming the rumor about the same power for the 14"/16" holds true, I'm going to go with the 14" to make it a bit easier to travel with. On the side on a run a tech consulting/web development business. I plan to mostly use it for that - developing websites, doing remote support, technology work, etc. My current rMBP is on its last legs - it has really slowed down, the battery is completely dead as of three weeks ago, the trackpad has had an issue for the last two years which makes it hard to physically press down to click. All of those things are repairable but I just don't want to sink additional money into a 7 year old computer at this point. I've been using my PC desktop to supplement for the last few weeks but I much prefer Mac OS.
I'm particularly interested to see if Apple releases a reasonably priced Apple Silicon mini Mac Pro in the next year or two. I'm willing to pay a decent amount for the MacBook Pro, but I'm not going to go crazy with upgrades to it (thinking of bumping to 32 GB / 1 TB from 16 GB / 512 GB that I have today). What I'd love is to get a powerful Apple desktop for around $3-3.5k or so and use that as my primary machine. I had a Power Mac G5 in the early 2000s and loved it. I'd need it to have a solid increase in specs over available MBP configurations and be more reasonably priced - I can't justify the current prices Apple charges for MacPros. My G5 ran $1,800 when I bought it - that's around $2.4k today - it is really a shame that Apple won't sell a similar form factor machine for less than $6k now.
It's been a few years since I've watched an Apple event live, since they fall in the middle of the workday for me. But I've already blocked my calendar to take a late lunch on Monday. A replacement machine can't come soon enough!
