April fools! I do not believe a single optimistic word of this. Here is my prediction. 4 TB3 ports and larger Touch Bar/touch screen with force feedback keyboard and trackpad

I thought the same, but just had a look at the M1 MBP and there is indeed some curvature on the top case. I imagine it'll be completely flat on these upcoming laptops.
I've been dreaming about a colorful glowing Apple logo similar to the HomePod. Imagine it shifting colors, or you could simply set it to white. Both would look incredible.

I see that turning into the colour spinner loading icon
Cool idea!
Wow. Am I the only one that likes the Touch Bar ?
So what do you get in its place?
So they bring back MegaSafe connector but Take something major AWAY
Probably went up in price.
NO COVID pricing for you. We want your money. We dont care how bad the economy will get with millions out of work and months behind on their mortgages and New Car payments. The banks will buckle like domino's under all that bad debt.

Don't forget the optical drive, in all it's unnecessary glory
I think Apple bringing the old style MagSafe back would be strange considering the relaunch of it in a new form factor... maybe if it was a small puck that attached to the side maybe (that would seem more likely).
The Touch Bar was a huge failure, their attempt of bridging the gap between physical keys and a touch keyboard just never worked and was never massively adopted, so it’s great if this is true.

Apple is finally admitting via design that the Touch Bar is trash and MagSafe should've never been axed. The correlation between touchbar and MagSafe is too coincidental.
This has nothing to do with the new chips. Someone just came to their senses and said if we remove the failed Touch Bar we will again have power and space for MagSafe.
Who's the dude that's been posting incessantly about the need for an all new MBP16 with magSafe and no touchbar since the day they axed MagSafe? That's right
It's the return of the MagSafe biatches.

The dream...realized....finally...Apple knew what they were doing...at least, post-Butterfly-keyboard debacle...
That 2019 16-inch MacBook is seriously going to age badly now....
Sell, sell, sell!!!
Could this new design change have anything to do with Jony Ive....I mean he was involved in the much hated 2013 Mac Pro redesign, and the much-hated Touch-bar-era MacBook Pro redesign...could the return to common sense have anything to do with Jony Ive leaving?!?!??!Apple is finally admitting via design that the Touch Bar is trash and MagSafe should've never been axed.

We only got good things after Jony Ive left:
- A slightly thicker iPhone 11-series of phones with much-improved battery life
- A return to a more traditional modular Mac Pro
- ....and now, this new....a return to a port-full MacBook Pro, without the TouchBar, and a return of MagSafe....
How are you not an early adopter if you bought the first generation of the Apple Silicon computers?
Wait wait wait... what?? If the new MacBook Pro is not getting a TouchBar, and MagSafe is back, then maybe it is a good thing to wait after returning my 8/256GB MBA before buying the 16/512GB one.
I think I’ll wait, yeah, at least until this redesigned machines are out.

Nah, the only thing this machines have new is the processor/SoC, the rest (body, screen, keyboard, ports) is the the same machine.
I actually liked the Touch Bar and used it quite frequently. Especially on Logic Pro it's a must. I hope they add the function keys *and* include the Touch Bar!
I don't know, the AirPods Max scream of Jony's nonsense. It wouldn't be his creation without an accompanying meme:
I’m thinking something like the latest razer blade design, if so that would probably make Face ID possible, though it isn’t mentioned as a feature unusually.
pipe dream
A wish or an idea that is impossible to achieve or carry out.Kuo: Hold on there, till the 3rd quarter of 2021.
Flat design means both the base and lid are flat, mbp have flat bottom and the next one will have flat lid also
Razer blade style
Flat lid means room for 1080p FaceTime camera with maybe in the future faceId
