So are they just "announcing" new MBP or are they actually "releasing" them tomorrow?

I really hope it is soon, can't wait to get rid of my Surface Pro 3 - it was a fun diversion, and if I'm honest Windows 10 is not that bad. Just can't wait to go back to OSX and feel at home again.

Cult of Mac just showed a picture where an Apple store already has those line dividers up that they use for iPhone releases up outside of the store they are at. That usually only means that a product release is happening that day.

Anyone know how distribution to Best Buy has gone in the past? Gotta use my points...

With the 12" MacBook they had stock weeks before apple stores did.

I dont think I've ever seen lines form for Mac's just iOS devices.

Another plausible explanation is that Apple will have demo units on display today, and is anticipating enough foot traffic to warrant a queue outside some locations.

That's what I was thinking as well. Not sure why they would have these set up outside an Apple store already unless they were expecting more people then usual. This is the pic they posted. Didn't say where this was.

They've been confirmed in SF and Hawaii

That is not apple style. They are smart enough to know people have a short attention span. So when they announce new products they usually come out in 1-2 weeks tops.

Too bad Nintendo isn't as smart as Apple.

Good sign I'd say..

Releasing a new product until 2017 will hurt sales. Because anybody that is planning to buy a Labtop will just wait. Killing any kind of current sales

Also they'd miss out on Christmas.

Agreed. With the lack of actual photo leaks, I thought it 100% would not be out today; however, this almost confirms it will be available today.

Wonder what the chances of Best Buy having them for today are...

highly doubt it. BB would have them next week at the earliest

I could definitely see them having stock today. They seem like a really close parter with Apple and carry products on launch day.

Like I said earlier, they had the 12" MacBook before Apple did.
