They were always going to do it so that it matched the new MacBook design language. I like the look of the new front style (aren't a fan of the MBA front or the old MBP front), but it's not as clean.
Exciting!
Funny story - me to a friend asking about the new MacBooks a few days ago: "I think it'll have a thin display atop the keyboard with Touch ID, speakers down the sides, and the MacBook Pro text will return."
Not groundbreaking predictions for us MacRumors lot, but said friend now thinks I'm psychic!

Surely you remember that Balmer bit where he's shouting "Developers, Developers, Developers" like a mad parrot? I bet good old Tim sat at the last major meeting and shouted from his end, "Dongles, Dongles, Dongles!" and that's why Apple has gotten rid of those ports in addition to the finer points I made on the page previous to your post's.
It's not the operations assigned by Apple to the function keys, it's the function keys themselves which have purposes in many applications as well as games. The lack of tactile feedback is the downside to those who use them a lot.
The Magic Keyboard doesn't use the butterfly keys, it uses a refined scissor mechanism and the steel dome switches. It has more travel compared to the butterfly keyboard and it is less of a difference - I would say it's the middle ground between the two (the stability and larger keys of the new keyboard, and the travel of the old one).
Having said that, I don't mind the scissor mechanism although it takes time to get used to.
You can't possibly make a claim like this from the leaked images.
Please wait until the first-hand impressions from the media on Thursday (or possibly even Apple's own claims about the keyboard during the event) before you go on this tirade against the keyboard.
And typing out your damn password every time looks like a pro laptop? Face it, the Mac is playing catch up with iDevices since the iPhone 4 went Retina first.
Apologies if it's already been said (I searched the thread and couldn't find a mention) but interestingly the date on the mockup Apple Pay transaction is July 17.
It's normally the case that Apple picks a date for use in marketing images that is close to the product launch date.
Is this evidence that this was indeed meant to ship in the summer and was delayed?

Interesting catch, wouldn't surprise me - mockups are generally all completed with the launch (Or close to) dates.
July 17 is the same date the default Calendar icon has had for years. Could be they just decided to reuse it for this.
Also, Apple Pay is a new feature in Sierra. It's quite obvious a new MacBook Pro wasn't going to ship with what was then a pre-release OS.
It might. I can't find the picture now, but go back to it and see what product was being purchase and then look it up on another authorized vendor. See what the price there is and then see if you can find historic price data for that item. If it's not the same price on Apple's site, see if you can use archive.org to see if that page was cached during the summer.
hmmm. could the glass trackpad be of better use?
How am I supposed to use trackpad while that's on lol
Everyone is assuming this is the 13 inch. Maybe it's the 15 (double speakers was always exclusive to the 15) and it IS smaller by a lot. Though would love decent speakers on the 13

I'm holding out for the Magic Bus.
It's the 13". 100% positive.
If it were the 15" then it would have a hilariously huge keyboard.
No, I can tell you with 100% confidence, that the image depicts the 13" inch model. Both models will have visible speaker grills either side of the keyboard.
Don't you dare to make me excited about something that might not happen!
Damn, too late.
14"
I made the assumption that the dimensions of each key is the same as in the rMB. I then used the known screen width of the rMB to calculate width of each key. I then used that to get the screen width of the leaked images. I measure 309 mm, which is within error of 314 mm in the current 13' rMBP. Assuming the aspect ratio is unchanged, the leaked pictures depict the 13' MBP.
My goodness, some of you can give your local constable's forensics department a real run for their money.
