I wonder if these are getting a staggered release with the larger one launching first a la the original Retina MBP.

Edit: Never mind! Just saw the listing for the 14"'s battery as well.

I’m betting they’ll be shipping before the 4th of July.

With the chip shortage during the pandemic? Nahh...I don't think the 1st batch will ship this soon...if the iPad Pro release is anything to go by, I will bet it will ship 2nd half of next month, so, 2nd half of July to early Aug.

We already know when it is going to ship. 90-100 days from the start of chip mass production, like every single other Apple product release. We don't always get this information, except for when Apple is fabbing a new chip.

Which means anywhere from the beginning of July to mid August.

I can't wait for people to find out that it is not MagSafe, it is just a proprietary magnetic connector power cable, like we've already seen this year.

Can apple chip macs run windows? I haven’t been following much with any updates on this. I need parallels for a few apps I use a lot on my machine.
Parallels has a native version of their software for the M1 processor Macs. To run Windows you'd have to join the "Windows Insider" program - costs nothing - and then download the preview version of Windows for ARM processors. I have it running on my M1 MBP and Windows runs faster, subjectively speaking of course, than it does on my Surface Laptop 3.

Will be interesting to see if mini LED as mixed rumours to this year vs next year for mini LED.

Apples screens are already so good that the next major improvement will need to be something like mini LED

I suspect it will be new design this year, mini LED next year

Fully agree here
 
I can't wait to get rid of this piece of **** 128gb storage, two usb port-having, butterfly keyboard with stuck keys macbook and finally get back to a true macbook "pro" again
I very briefly had 2017 just like that, assuming that's the model year you are referring to. I agree it was quite awful: noisy, keyboard felt TERRIBLE, and did I mention noisy? Horrible loud fan just by looking at it. Makes me never want a MacBook with a fan ever again, I'm spoiled by my fan-less M1 MBA.

As for these, as I said earlier, my hunch is tease/intro Monday, but don't expect them for a while.

Once they are on the market, and I'm going to go for the 16" or whatever, I will be that Mac freak who never ever used a Touch Bar, "jumping" from MacBook Pro 15" Retina mid 2012 to the MacBook Pro 16" mid 2021...
Same. Also hoping to be able to say I jumped the era of minimum ports.

I still see the 16" M2 MBP and the 30" M2 iMac being available earlier about the same time. The 14" MBP seems superfluous if the 16" M2 becomes available and people are still buying the less capable M1 13" MBP.
 
I really hope they don't do white bezels. That would be a deal breaker.
Oddly enough people are getting used to the narrow white bezels if you are reacting to a larger version of the 24" iMac. I seen this observing customers looking at the 24" models. At first it was more of a complaint, now its the higher price you are paying for a reasonable configuration that people think most about with the 24" iMac.

Now colored 16" MBP with white trim, that would be radical, but I doubt any MBP would utilizing any significant trim around the displays. :)
 
Never have I been more ready to buy something in my life! 😅

My 2012 MacBook Air has its fans whirring non stop and it chugs. A Mac Mini will be cheaper but this year I want the portability and I will pay for a great laptop that will last.

Fingers crossed for a new 16" next week. Wouldn't mind if they came in iMac colors...
 
Wow! I am super excited for MacWorld next week! Apple goodies from Santa Tim.
And no doubt when the $2,499 price is announced he will say “twenty four ninety nine” as if it were a mere $25. For all their inclusiveness shtick you have to be pretty well off to buy into the system.

Why would anyone need a MacBook Pro who isn't using it to be productive?
