Also, because the last-gen refurbs will be that much cheaper.
I think apple paid some millions $ to companies such as EA or UbiSoft to optimize some of their top games for iris pro. During the next event in October, they'll demo these games to prove the iris pro is very capable for gaming and 3d rendering...

I wonder if they will make some sort of announcement about them at the September event, eve though its dedicated to The iPhone and The iPad.
Well I ended up buying the new rmbp.. maxed out for 1800. we met in the mall, mac was still in wrap. after i told him that as long as the comp is good i would buy it, he let me open it up. warranty status checked out on the website, warranty valid till july 25 2014
Congrats!
What do you mean by maxed out? $1800 for a 2013 15" rMBP 2.8Ghz, 16Gb ram, 768Gb disk sounds too good to be true...
I meant the high end model, not maxed out my bad. The 2.7/16/512 one. But yeah i got a great deal
Hi guys,
Still waiting for the 3 stock MacBook Pros I ordered for my school. I ordered two on July 8th, and one on July 10th. I emailed my inside rep, which was forwarded to logistics. They emailed me back telling me that they are "delayed due to a lack of supply of all products from one warehouse. Since your account is ship complete, we would need a partial shipment authorization form signed for each order to remove this requirement. At that time, we should be able to immediately allocate all products from wherever stock is available." So I filled out & faxed back the forms they attached for me to sign, yet these orders still sit there "processing items." Grrrr...

OMG.......those laptops are still sitting? I thought for sure you would have received them by now! Hmmmm.....wonder if Apple truly is starting to dry up in stock of their c/rMBPs.
Hope you get them soon!
Just like Apple is paying millions to EA and Ubisoft to optimize their software for OSX... wait
Most new games don't come with a OSX version, and those who do often come with a huge delay and sub-par performance when compared to running on the same machine in Windows.
Yes, Apple might show off one or two games on Iris Pro, but the overall situation will not change: Gaming on a Mac is a huge compromise!
im from spain and the macbook pro 15(no retina) is out of stock on many retailers
Es que estamos en crisis... Como nadie compra, los han retirado para venderlos a paises mas ricos...
----------
Agree. Demoing a couple of games would be a marketing strategy to increase sales... Imagine (I rarely play games), WoW or FarCry running smoothly on a 15" rMBP with no dGPU...

I checked the benchmarks, the iriis pro 5200 is about 8-12% slower than the nvidia 650
if so i dont think apple can forego a dgpu in the 15" at least. the 5200 is perfect for the 13 tho.
The 13" will get the 5100 as it's perfect for it. 5200 is meant for high-end notebooks like the 15" rMBP.
The 15" rmbp isn't more "high-end" then the 13" rmbp..
About 5300 > not now.
p.s.
Good morning from Bulgaria
All apple had to do was upgrade the specs a bit for this refresh but now it seems they'll throw a curve ball and drop a dgpu, which will piss everyone off. Why do they keep annoying their users with this kind of crap? Removing things unnecessarily has got to stop. But, I still think there's a decent chance the dgpu stays at least as a bto option.
In what way is it not?
The 15" has quad-core, 16GB ram, a dGPU, better resolution, bigger screen. Sure looks more high-end than the 13" to me.
The 15" is a high end 15" laptop
The 13" is a high end 13" laptop

My 2012 Air is enough for fun and work, but I so want Pro. I going to wait until haswell macbooks. It's hard and miserable... 2-3 month...
Can't just wait, hopelessly refresh this thread and news several times in day. It's more than bad habit, kind of strong dependence already.
