Details?New 15" rMP now available on Apple Store in UK. And a cheaper riMac![]()
The $2,299 (after $200 price cut) model is still the same one as before, just with a new lower price.
How do you know they're Haswell may I ask?
Bizarre updates

If Apple were going to update only the Force Touch trackpad, then they would have done it at the same time they released the 13" Broadwell MBP with the Force Touch trackpad. This release of the 15" MBP will be based on Broadwell.
There is no reason to feel this way. Undoubtedly, in the past Intel GPUs were garbage, and only applicable to cheap laptops, since they couldn't even play HD movies without lag. These days however, Intel has made leaps and bounds of progress with their GPUs. Their highest end GPUs are sort of hybrid GPUs that mostly share RAM with the CPU, but also have a small amount of dedicated RAM. The performance of the Iris Pro has shown to be quite good.

We now have the 5th gen in the 13 inch model, and will be getting it in the 15 inch soon. The performance should be quite good.
You did, and you were WRONG. According to Apple support, they're Broadwell.Apple has just released a new 15 inch MacBook Pro with the same Haswell processors and the Force Touch trackpad. I hate to say told you so, but I did. I would have liked to believe you but I guess I'll be waiting for the next refresh.

See my screenshot from post #265.
My wife and I are contemplating a 27-inch Retina iMac. For those that own the 27-inch non-retina, are you happy with it? I am trying to determine if the premium is worth it (especially, if these rumors are true).
By all accounts the major downside of going for the retina iMac is that it runs hot due to the GPU they stuffed in there. The 680MX I am running is cool and quiet, as is the 780M in the current non-retina (they're basically the same card). The AMD card in the retina runs hot and causes throttling issues if you push it hard.
If you never intend to work it hard then the retina screen may be worth the premium to you.
Ugh. Now they're telling me the 15" is Crystalwell.
There's nothing stopping others from calling. Unless otherwise informed, I'm now waiting for next year's model.Try asking them the actual model number of the CPU instead of asking if they know the nickname of a processor series is?!
