I really hope there's a new MBP 13/14 this year. I don't care if it's not Mini LED. I just need to get one with a proper keyboard.
iMac rumor is not reliable since Intel's 10th gen CPU is not even out yet and it takes several months to use on Mac system.
Yes they have been strangely resistant to making such a machine. It's odd they would pour resources into making a niche machine like the 12" MacBook, but they won't make a mainstream consumer laptop in the most popular size format across the industry.I'd buy a 15" Air, not sure it will ever happen though, but maybe Pros will be 14"/16" and Airs 13"/15".
It’s possible you don’t have the latest firmware because Apple pulled it. For those who were upgraded, ANC was severely weakened from the original firmware. It’s been months now since they’ve attempted to fix that mistake.
I won't be buying anything Apple this year, I hear the corona virus can last for weeks on a surface. Don't want to risk death over something like that.
I loved my 2011 13" MacBook Pro until the damn magsafe wouldn't charge the laptop. The only way it would work is if I held the power button down for 10 seconds, then plugged in the power supply while still holding down for a few more seconds before letting go lol. Then the fans would instantly run max speed. Changed the battery and worked great until it was time to charge. I'm pretty sure if you change the magsafe port it'll solve the problem, but it was too risky for me to take apart the whole computer to get to it, and the dual core processor was ass.I have a 2011 MacBook Pro I’ve made last and fixed and upgraded.
The 14” might finally be decent reason to upgrade.
I love that my 2011 has lasted so long but it’s now failing in more ways not as easy to fix (like the MagSafe port, SD card and trackpad).

I got the 2018 mac mini not too long after it came out. I might be salty if it's a significant update.

It’s barely over a year old what on earth is outdated?
I have a 2017 13" Pro, my perfect device would be a 14" Air (w/ 16GB RAM). Prefer battery life, Touch ID and no Touch Bar over the performance of a MacBook Pro.
Just can’t get my head around the need for a 14” if there’s a 13.3” in the mix.
Poor GPU.
I wish they would have a dedicated graphics option for the Mac Mini.
😔
Would be cool if they repurposed the old 'trashcan' Mac Pro design to offer a non AIO Mac desktop with dedicated graphics as an option. Like you say, don't think it's happening in the current mini design. Having said this if Intel are successful in upping their game on integrated graphics (or Apple switch to AMD or eventually ARM) it might not be necessary for most use cases.I supposed so but how much can they engineer to fit in that box. Granted I only use mine for editing audio and basic other use, nothing graphic intensive, but I'm running a 4k TV, and a 1440p monitor and have zero issues. Everything looks and runs perfect
