Fair. I'm probably just getting pretty pent up because I really, really, really need 2/3 of the least betted things to happen (cMBP in September) |:

Waiting for Haswell MBP Mega Thread

I hope you prepared to be disappointed. What do you think a Haswell cMBP will do for you than an Ivy Bridge cMBP will not? 802.11ac and better battery life are the only things I can think of that might be worth hoping for in a hypothetical Haswell cMBP.
Did you read my earlier comment in response to you asking why I thought that Apple will announce the rmbps at the September event, and launch them later?

Readily awesome
And as a Uni Student, those are the two things I'm holding out for
As well as an unreasonable fear of being outdated.
I'd go for MBPr if the spec/price ratio goes up.

Yep, I read it. I was thinking the same thing .
But I am planning on no sign it on Tuesday, better to set expectations low
So much faith in a September Haswell update... Updating the rMBP's is big deal. Yet the iPhone 5S and 5C release along with iOS 7 is much bigger in the big picture. Apple will do nothing to take away the spotlight from the iPhone this month. This is their biggest announcement of the year.
Our precious Macs won't make the cut this month. October, well that will be our salvation

In my opinion, some of the refurbished rMBP models are very attractively priced.
Seriously?
Extending battery life is one of those evasive challenges facing mankind right now. I’d think anything developed to get more mobile mileage out of a laptop would be appealing everyone.It all comes down to brute power vs. longevity. Which do people value most? That’s for each of us to decide individually but Apple already tipped their hand with the MBA by introducing it with virtually the same processing benchmarks as the older model yet extending the battery life to 12 hours. I can see something similar happening to both cMBP13 (if it’s not discontinued) as well as the rMBP13 and people will be content. I'd be outright ecstatic.
No one's stopping you.And I'm *this* close to starting a rant on why I hate it when people say that.
Really? That would be very nice
Yep, here a screenshot from their Layout:
The 2+3 ULT is the most likely one to be used in the 13" rMBP, well i hope so
ULT = Ultra Light and Thin and is only used for mobile CPUs. It has lower Clock rates and a lower TDP than it's Desktop equivalents.
The GT3 GPU Unit has 128 MiByte embedded DRAM (eDRAM) = Iris Pro 5200
Edit:
Just saw that the eDRAM is just on the 4+3 Model...

it's not like all those legacy apps would just stop working.. or your keyboard and touchpad magically disappear just because it's a hybrid. windows was rebuilt with backwards compatibility. i've been using 8 and have found no problems with using legacy and productivity apps. stop making it sound like the issues are major. you sound like you believe that apple isn't capable of making this same transition.
You don't need an event to announce them. In all likelihood it will be a Haswell spec bump, better battery life, same performance and they won't drop the discrete graphics card (probably upgrade it slightly). They will at some point just put it on the site without an event. It's possible they would do so on Tuesday but we would probably have heard rumours/seen shipping info etc.
I just bought an air lol. Complete impulse buy. Most likely take advantage of return policy.
Apple employees didn't know much about haswell rmbps. But they did support my decision of waiting on buying a mbp.
They also loved talking about Tuesday

May I ask for your source?

Nevermind I think I found it, although I thought you just took a screen shot and cropped it
