Waiting for Haswell MBP Mega Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Well Kuo has said that she was expecting rMBPs in Q3 which is July-September unless I missed an article? Did she specifically say September?
Even if she did, analysts can be wrong.
 
Thinking of buying the macbook air now as i think apple wont release rmbp till september and there a chance they wont release 13inch version again till early next year ....thinking of macbook because by the time rmbp come out BTS discounts would be over in my country
Currently im getting 200$ off in air

Oh please, kuo ain't ****. I don't know how you can take his/her predictions (whatever "it" is) when he/she was just wrong about a rMBP refresh @ WWDC. I honestly think he/she uses large apple events to make bs predictions to more famous news sites to gain attention. She/he makes a prediction about some things, gets it half right but the wrong half gets excused because it's clouded by the fact that he/she threw in the right date of the event. People are too stupid to understand these events are already set in stone. Honestly some of the stuff mentioned by him/her I've seen on this forum prior to it becoming large news.

Kuo said before WWDC that the rMBP was delayed and wouldn't be shipping immediately afterwards. He/she did say that it would be announced at WWDC, but announcements have nothing to do with the supply chain, and it's quite possible that it was a guess based on supply chain sources.

How many major mistakes can you find in his/her predictions that could reasonably have been leaked by the supply chain, and how many of her predictions were accurate? As far as I know, Kuo's made some mistakes in the naming, pricing and timing of products, but has corrected most changes well before they occur and been accurate more than not.

I am actually in the same boat deffo don't need another notebook but I want a rMBP my 1st Mac but I know if I go and spend the best part of £2000 for a 15" 2.7/16/512 I be annoyed when Haswell comes out and it's still got a top spec dGPU in there for not waiting.

Hm, weird. On second refresh it seems to go blank. I doubt this means something though, the store is probably having issues again.

Yeah, I plan on buying the rMBP 15' today with the haswell processor if its released and if not ill just buy the current edition.
 
Something definitely "off" with the store -- I tried to go to the education/BTS shop, and it took me to the iPad page. I ultimately did get to the US MBP page (still the current generation units).
