New 15-Inch MacBook Pro With Kaby Lake and 32GB of Desktop-Class RAM Coming Later This Year

I hope there's still an option for a 15" with low-power RAM. I don't want desktop RAM in my Macbook Pro, shortens the battery life. I'd much rather have the extra battery than 32GB of RAM, which I don't need.
As for those bitching about the timing, it's the fourth quarter of next year. That's a long time, get over it.

Speak for yourself, and no one else. I hit the 16GB wall almost daily. Not a bragging right, but an annoying limitation. If you don't need it, simply don't buy it. No need to force your needs onto someone else.
A Pro machine at 'Pro prices' no doubt.
Still, good news. I'm all for a higher end machine being an option.
There still not a single mention about the ports…one of the worst design Apple ever created…
So bad you cannot connect your own iPhone-iPad…
I hope the add a USB 3 and HDMI…
Best growing apple's product category…. Adaptors/Dongles…
Phil Schiller should be fired…

Can I start complaining about the refresh after this 2017 model now? I waited a full year to get this new 2017 model with 32GB ram....and now there will be a 2018 model with 32GB standard for 15" model! Come on, Apple! You're DOOMED!
So if the article is correct, the 32GB model will be a yearly update with improved specs; are people complaining that it's too late or too early, or both?
I knew I shoulda waited
The first rule of Mac Club: Never buy first-gen hardware
The second rule of Mac Club: Gen. 2 almost always has what people complained Gen. 1 lacked.
Looking forward to the Kaby Lake release even more now! Glad I held out.
Hope they ditch the gimmicky touch bar and bring back at least one USB 3 port and SD slot too.
The biggest problem a Pro will encounter
Get a grip. If the biggest criticism you have of the new ports is that you can't plug in an iOS device to charge it, just maybe it's not the right computer for you. However for other users it's much better than previous gens with what it can do – the controller for your static workstation. In fact you need to use less wires than the previous generations, as everything comes to life just by plugging in one cable, rather than 10.
So it's all a matter of perspective, really. It's either the most limited or most expandable MacBook Pro, depending solely on how restricted your way of thinking is.
Again, missing the point of my comment in place of making a cheap joke that's irrelevant. But it's K cause you got a couple likes
So Apple responding to consumer demands is now a bad thing?Umm...but we had no inclination that this was going to happen. I'd be pretty p**sed if I'd just forked out for a new MacBook Pro, overpaid as it is for just 16GB RAM, then they release an option for 32GB later in the year? Apple's screwing of customers knows no bounds.

Apple releases a new model almost every year. 2016 is over, and they did not release another MacBook Pro "later in the year" as you say.
It's too little too late. It's the late release that I'm not happy about. If you've just invested in a new MacBook Pro, that you plan to last you years, having already waited years to upgrade because they brought out nothing decent, and you wanted 32GB of RAM but had to settle - you'd be pretty annoyed right now, cause there's nothing you can do about it.
If only there were a native cable available...

There is no way they are going back and adding USB-A or HDMI ports, especially now that there are native USB-C to HDMI cables.
Great news. Now make it a bit thicker to fit a bigger battery, SD card reader, chiclet keyboard and a couple of USB-A ports and I'm sold!
Apple. 17 inch Macbook Pro. Nvidia 1070/2070. Mobile Xeon. 4k display. 32Gb Ecc ram. Two SSD slots, one removable. Now apple thats a real pro laptop, 4 USB Cs and two standard usb A
People were waiting for the 2016 model, and forked out when it came. Said people are now screwed over because Apple couldn't be bothered to include a 32GB model on launch.
Since Kaby Lake doesn't have the required support for LPDDR4 ram I highly doubt we will see a 32gb option. I think 2018 or even 2019 depending on what intel puts out. 32gb with Kaby Lake would require a different logic board as well as a redesigned cooling system to account for the extra heat from DDR4 ram chips. Then they would also have to increase the battery significantly to keep the same "10 hours of usage". If they used the same battery then it we be 6 hours of battery and I can't see Apple going backwards. So a 32gb MacBook would be thicker and 1/2 pound heavier.Umm...but we had no inclination that this was going to happen.

But 32GB requires using desktop-class RAM, I believe even with Kaby Lake, so the purported model would get worse battery life. Maybe they decided the trade-off wasn't worth it in Skylake but is for Kaby Lake since the latter is more efficient.
By then, Windows 10 notebooks will offer 64 GB DDR4 while Mac notebooks will be offering DDR3 lower power. Still technologically behind. Then again, the storage is so fast these days, unless you are running large data sets, not every user will demand this.
