'Unleashed' Apple Event Focusing on New Macs to Take Place on October 18

[Populus]

Here we go!! Can’t wait to dig into the new M1X (or M2) hardware architecture, the video encoders and decoders it has, the new GPU and which cores it’s CPU is using!!!

Also, wonder if they will refresh the iPad Pro with an M2 and new displays...

I'm sort of sad that the biggest features will be the return of the ports they removed a few years ago. On the other hand, it will be great to have them back (and for the touchbar to be gone), and I'm thinking that the new chips are going to be smoking fast.

 

[Freida]

I don't think so. I think its reference to Star Wars speed travel.

That trailer has a big Dr Who vibe. Are they launching the MacBook Pro Tardis edition ?

@LFC2020 lets go! Are you going to order a new Mac?

You already saw the event and know all the info?

 

[Digital Skunk]

Im ready. Already got the desk space cleared off.

I honestly think I might just keep my M1 Air, it does everything right, so why replace for something much larger and heavier?!

Same here. A new M1X MBP would be a great piece of candy, and is something I was planning on transitioning to from my M1 MBA.

But in the almost 1 year that I've had my MBA, it has been a delight to use. Every. Single. Day. It's fast, compact, weighs little, has a decent screen, great keyboard, and a long lasting battery. Zero issues.

No need to upgrade for me.

 

[Freida]

Definitely not. M2 will take a while and also iPad Pro was released just few months ago. M1 doesn't really need to be updated on the iPad Pro for a while. Software is still lagging.

If it is not a 120hz display im not gonna be happy

Hopefully it's the MacBook Pro redemption.

Fingers crossed for no Touch Bar.

TIM COOK: We are thrilled to bring Touch Bar Pro™ to the new M1X laptops.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I’m so glad it’s on a Monday. We will not be waiting for too long now. Hopefully pre-order opens up soon too.,

 

[seanmills1020]

TWO WORDS: M1X Cube

I don’t think it’s going to have it. Apple just decided to have it on the iPad and iPhones. It’s a transition that’s going to take some time.

 

[Minxy]

SO IT BEGINS! 😚

 

[Christian 5G]

Time for new Pro

 

[anshuvorty]

Damn....can't believe Apple broke with tradition and decided to schedule a Monday event at the very last minute! Talk about timing...It's not even 10 am either, usually when they release this sort of news...

No rumor has indicated it will have that, but I guess it's not impossible. Microsoft's new Surface laptop has a 120Hz display; the industry does seem to be headed in that direction. But I don't think the MacBooks will get it just yet.

 

[Populus]

Definitely not. M2 will take a while and also iPad Pro was released just few months ago. M1 doesn't really need to be updated on the iPad Pro for a while. Software is still lagging.

I agree

 

[CKirkthejerk1]

Could "unleash" be referring to some kind of MagSafe wireless charging on the pros?

 

[alex2792]

Finally, gonna pick up an M1X MacBook.

 

[julesme]

*If* the rumored features pan out, this will be the most significant Mac related event of the last several years (maybe even the last decade?).

 

[pray2crom]

YES!!!! finally going to be able to retire my 2012 15 inch macbook pro.

 

[BeefCake 15]

Debt collectors can wait, new Mac is needed!

 

[falkon-engine]

Woohoo boys and girls!! Hype train has officially left the station. Destination = take my money !!! Been waiting ever so patiently for a new Apple silicon MacBook. I’m an intel fan on the hackintosh side (wondering if alder lake and z690 will boot macOS), but on the notebook side, I don’t mind parting ways with intel inside to get an powerful Apple Silicon mobile processor. Woo hoo!

Hope "Unleashed" is not like this.
