New MacBook Pro Still Planned for October, USB-C MacBook Air Also in the Works

I think the plan is to disrupt Microsoft event by taking over tech news with this release.
I don't know, my Macbook was saved several times by the MagSafe. The removal of MagSafe would be quite bizarre. Especially since as far as I know Apple has patented it and refused to license the patent, after copying the idea themselves, showing typical Apple ethics and generosity of spirit.
I'm so ****ing tired of everything being "portable" and "mobile". I couldn't care less about a laptop in a recording studio. I want a new Pro desktop. Period.
If rumors and pictures are accurate, all Apple did was add an OLED strip to the SAME OLD UNIBODY Macbook design that has been around for 8 years! In the meantime you can touch most PC laptop these days.
I mean the worst company for stealing Steve Jobs' MacBook design is Apple.
I think Tim Cook is very afraid to change the design away from something Steve Jobs approved. Even the iPhone 6SS (7) is based on OLD iPod Touch design aesthetics. All he did for the "new" Apple TV was double its height. ALL mac's haven't seen an industrial designer in 5+ years. The AirPods used 4 year old EarPods design with a longer shaft to hold the battery and bluetooth, and that is unforgivable because Apple bought Beats that makes headphones and speakers. The one new design that Tim Cook allowed on the market was the iPhone battery cover, and that was a horrible thing Steve Jobs would have been tearing new holes into people for designing.
Jony Ives cannot be happy at Apple, shaving mm of material off the inside of cases and redesigning circuit boards and figuring out how to put more glue into devices. It is laughable that he still goes on camera and says some of his best most profound work is coming, he is being held ransom by most likely a ridiculous paycheque and has pretty much given up and gone into early retirement.

And yet you are here talking in a new Mac anticipation thread. Did the PC not work out for you?
It's ok, I can imagine. I have a top of the line Lenovo for work (incl touchscreen) and the OS and the computer (or the combination of the two) suck!!
I believe it when i see it. right now i'm just assuming it's never gonna happen.
Also love the macrumors videos but can you find someone who doesn't say 'Thee' throughout the video. It sounds like he's reading a script and is nauseating to listen to.

These are pro laptops. The point is usability and ergonomics, not design (at least not in the first place).
Besides performance, in what way have the MBPs been behind technological development in the past years? Or in a design sense?
And you are speaking as if Apple has already introduced the oled strip. They might not at all. In addition, you don't know what the new laptop will look like and what capabilities it has, so why are you so upset?

I care about a thin laptop since I carry it everyday, I just want Thunderbolt 3 for eGPU power and USB-C compatibility for using my dock with all ports I need.

Yes, but the MBP is still a laptop. It's a mobile computer, so weight and bulk matter. It should be lighter and thinner than the current model rMBP that are still pretty bulky.
If you want maximum power go desktop not mobile.
No such places in Canada... Only choice we have here for the most part is buying a refurb, if you happen to get lucky to find one in a config that is adequate.
I completely agree. The current Pro laptops are a bit too thick and bulky. I'm hoping for a slimming down with minimal port loss.
I don't see that, especially given that in all likelihood what MS is rolling out is just an AIO, where as Apple needs to roll out a lot more mac models.
I'm pretty sure they will. A new design deserves an event, they can't just update the store and issue a press statement like they do when they change the price or update CPU/RAM.
Right, it would be funny if it hadn't hit so close to the mark ;-)
- Correctamundo. Saying "Thunderbolt 3 port" conveys the same information and all the information that's needed. Saying "USB-C port" doesn't convey that we are talking about the Thunderbolt 3 interface, hence why it should be discouraged.
