Waiting for Anand's Haswell rMBP Review Megathread

[mr.bee]

maybe Apple asked Anand to hold back his review until AFTER black friday

I guess we will be waiting until the end of the year for a 13-inch review. But I don't mind the delay on the 15", it just means it isn't ready yet.

There have been a lot of high-profile launches recently, like both ipads and the new consoles. I'm not surprised that it has taken a back seat to those huge launches.

There have also been a fair amount of fairly niche GPU reviews in between... But yes, I suspect Anand has had his hands full with the other higher-profile stuff.

Since it's been almost a month since the release and he estimated the 13" review would be done in November, could he be planning to put both reviews up at the same time?

It's been over a month, actually. But yes--that's entirely possible.

Maybe a 13 vs 15 comparison/review?

 

[Wishbrah]

The man's gotta be a multi-tasking machine; putting out reviews of products as they pop up, while simultaneously applying long-term torture tests to things like the rMBP...all while flying to and fro to attend press releases, expos, etc.

He needs to clone himself. Efficiency doubled.

 

[Hitch08]

I gave up waiting

I'm about at that point as well.

Anand give up the review

 

[simon48]

I was going to wait, but I got one a few weeks ago. So glad I didn't wait!

 

[kaellar]

At this point, this review is better be awesome two-models thorough analysis/comparison with lots of details not highlighted in other reviews. I don't exclude the opportunity of not presenting any review at all, since the delay is beyond good and evil.

This year, average time for Anand between Apple notebook/desktop introduction and his review has been 2-3 weeks. We're a little later than that right now, but not too crazy. He's posted on Twitter that he's traveling a lot and is working on several things, so the delay doesn't surprise me.

still nothing.

Maybe Anand tech has received faulty models and they are replacing their machines as we speak.

 

[sharky25ant]

Maybe he's still waiting for to get 13" MBP 16 GB RAM that he did money order 4 week ago from AppleStore...

 

[zOlid]

Are we even sure they are working on a review?

 

[Wuiffi]

Are we even sure they are working on a review?

well they got a review unit (think it was an 2.3/16/512 w GT750 according to brian on twitter), so I guess they are doing a review ^^

They also got the 13" model.

 

[tim100]

According to his twitter account he is working on review. For me I don't care anymore.

Anand<3

 

[PeterJP]

Anand should look at AMD for an APU. That will get him the necessary concurrency. In this case, APU stands for AppleReview Processing Unit, of course.

 

[Wishbrah]

Anand Puncuality Upgrade APU

 

[Gav Mack]

He better not take as bloody long with the new Mac Pro.

Hurry up Anand...!

 

[Thevenin]

Now we are getting ahead of BF, this review should be coming over next week, please!

At least I can only wait that much, no more
