Yeah. The glowing Apple on the back of my laptop is the only thing I dislike about it.I'm looking forward to this, i wonder if the light up Apple logo will be gone? i have a 2011 Macbook Pro i'd like to update at some point.

Backup your statement that ARM is superior to the current Intel line up. Also take into account that dual booting also allows Windows compatibility.New Macs with new MacOS running on ARM processors. Apple has stalled Intel releases to make ARM look attractive, and it has spent a good deal of time and effort working on software initiatives such as Swift, iWork, and iLife to make iOS and Mac devices work together as one.
Intel is done.

Out of curiosity, what do you do that requires 32 GB OR MORE RAM?
Maybe this will cause Apple to sell more Desktops?
I got tired of waiting to upgrade my 2013 MBA and got a new XPS 13 last week. So far it's pretty awesome, lighter than the MBA, way better screen, crazy battery life and finally a nice trackpad.

That would be the best way to tank mac sales back to PowerPC days. The only reason why the platform grew in popularity is the move to x86 and going ARM would undo all of that.
How do you deal with the Dell crapware bloat?
Also, is that touch screen, or no? What RAM and processor?
Thanks for any details. I need to update my '09 MBP, and am getting a bit tired of all this.
Uh...Oh my god would Apple just release a redesigned MacBook Pro already!! It's already been nearly 2 months over the average amount of time for updates and over a month longer than the past 4+ releases! Come on, I've got an early 2011, I'd like to upgrade soon!
What?! and forego the SD card slot, displayport, USB 3.0 ports and magsafe..
no thanks..
Backup your statement that ARM is superior to the current Intel line up. Also take into account that dual booting also allows Windows compatibility.
Please don't reply that Windows 10 is compatible with ARM and, because any applications have to be built specifically...
Also, please address how ARM will lead to better GPUs...
Thanks in advance
S,
I got tired of waiting to upgrade my 2013 MBA and got a new XPS 13 last week. So far it's pretty awesome, lighter than the MBA, way better screen, crazy battery life and finally a nice trackpad.

apple don't make compromised products sorryGive me a (touch)tablet with macOS, like Lenovo helix or MS ; just better.
I don't think so. "A bit low" means "I have to wait up to three seconds when switching from one song to another". It's a bit like the Jetsons: "How was the supermarket?" – "Terrible, I had to wait in line for SEVEN SECONDS"I think you answered your own question.
Imagine simulating a CCD sensor and further simulate decay of a particular particle with certain lifetime travelling in a beam with several other particles all interacting with each other then letting the particle decay and balancing momentum and recording the trajectory the particle makes on its way to sensor.
A CCD lets say 30MP (which is very small) would take about 0.5GB of RAM
A particle that travels 2 meters then decays then travels about 2 more meters and meets sensor, to record the trajectory with accuracy of about 1 nano meters (should be much more accurate, depends on particle speed) would take about 4GB of RAM.
That was just one particle there are techniques that greatly reduce the memory usage by only recording last few trajectory points to calculate momentum/speed but there is never only one particle to simulate perhaps 10^6 at any given time. Under these conditions, the memory starts to fill up very quickly. For a very tiny simulation.
Other uses that need a lot of memory is Finite Element Analysis, that is where you apply physical constraints on the system and observe its change. A simple piece of metal with dimensions of 1 meter by 1 meter by 10cm would have around 100million nodes requiring x component, y component, z component, velocity, pressure, temperature and so on depending on the simulation. All of that needs to be stored and retrieved quickly, RAM is the best place and if RAM gets full, the performance gets a big hit. A simulation that may only have taken 10 mins would now take hours or even days to finish.

Yeah I remember and it is only logical that "thin" is always relative.Anyone remember when the MacBook Air was first announced as "Ultra-thin?" And suddenly the new MacBook is only "thin."
Cool, I buy an expensive laptop and first thing to do is installing the os..And you do all this while sipping a latte at your local Starbucks?
I can't see how there are enough people doing this type of work to justify Apple manufacturing a laptop that would handle it.

Microsoft Signature Edition or just do a clean install of Windows 10 as soon as you purchase the XPS.
You can then go to Dell's Web site and load whatever drivers and utilities you want.
Doing a clean install of Windows 10 is incredibly easy. And unlike MacBooks, the SSD's are user replaceable on the Dell XPS series. The RAM can be upgraded on the Dell XPS 15.
Thinner, thinner, thinner.. Oh, come on, Apple. I need powerrr inside my rMBP and not a thinner design with less power.
If Apple has to choose between features, they'll be the ones that are physically manifest. Thinness is an easier sell in a showroom, regardless of functional tradeoffs. Browsing in an Apple Store, the 12" MacBook has vastly more sex appeal than a 13" MacBook Pro. Lifting and holding each, the MPB seems feels older and clunkier, despite being an objectively better value. Apple knows how to appeal to our lizard brains.Unfortunately, better performance and increased battery life makes for a less-than-impressive dog-and-pony show when they introduce new products. Being able to turn the Macbook sideways and having it disappear is more impressive. Nevermind that it's useless with no ports, gutless with ULV processors and you need a bevvy of chargers and adapters close by to keep it running. They don't show all that at the show.

Bandwidth is the bottleneck. I have a 300MB connection at home, so I have no problem streaming or using cloud storage. Until recently I didn't have an issue with the MacBook 12's single USB-C port. As an experiment, I decided to use my MB exclusively instead of my 27" iMac by running the laptop in closed clamshell mode to an external 4K monitor with options for USB3, DP and HDMI input. I know of at least one 27" USB-C monitor on the market, but I'm not ready to drop another $800 on it. But then there's the problem of running power to the MB while sending video signal to the monitor. Apple's USB-C multiport AV adapter uses the USB-C input strictly for power, leaving me stuck with using HDMI for 4K output at a measly 30Hz.As for ports, its 2016, get with the wireless age.
I agree, which is why I mentioned lifting and holding them. The combination of ergonomic and aesthetic advantages of the MacBook 12 over the MBP can't be denied—at least in the showroom. I do have major issues with the MacBook's keyboard and weight balance, which only become fully evident after a few days of use.Maybe. Maybe not. Thinness is also equal to lightness. The latter being a highly desirable quality in a mobile device. Low volume likely is the next most desirable quality. So right there is a winning combination for the average on-the-go customer, regardless of which looks better.
Uh...
They should focus on an innovative way to make USB-C compatible with... anything else - hell, I thought they were preaching Thunderbolt, and then, this happens.
At this point, I'm not really desiring something thinner, especially with the latest iPads and macbook. Then again, apple says I don't know what I want.
