I'm not saying they will (or expecting them to) but Apple redesigned both the original iPhones and iPads after the first generation.
Their computer lines are different, so I definitely don't think we can expect a redesign. What would they do anyway? Make it thinner? It's already thin enough in my opinion.
You getting Haswell or Broadwell? My Airs trackpad is very annoying atm, and can't chance to get it fixed just yet
I'm getting Broadwell.
This thread will make it well past 20,000 replies cause it won't be announced on Tuesday...
So what kind of alternate reality do you live in?
I for one will partake in this comment, even though I do participate (only since ~June though - and I'm not even planning on buying Haswell).
I think GSPice's comments were/are great. Guaranteed to be funny 8/10 of the time
I also think that Jon123 guy is awesome. Even though he is the epitome of an overly zealous self-entitled douchebag. He would say something like "I am, indeed, for real. With my top-tier MBA"
Whoops, I forgot to put you, GSPice, and Jon123 in there. Yeah, his comments are pretty funny, and the Jon123 guy is the is to me, negative mcarling who talks more.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

A one where we all drink way too much coffee before the 22nd and as a result of the surge in caffeine and the shock of Apple not releasing the haswell rmbp, we all take to this thread to voice our various opinions in our posts, replete with numerous spelling and grammatical errors. Many arguments would spring up because of the high-tempered members of this thread being spurred on by disappointment and caffeine.
Oh 3D + CUDA, and PROfessionals? Oh, really?
need CUDA to render?
What kind of "PRO" 3D package does run on Mac OS and support CUDA?
Guess what, I'm a happy Luxology modo (PRO)user. Modo is probably the only serious "PRO" 3D application on Macs, but there is NO CUDA support.
The only half-successful GPU based 3rd party render engine (in the world) is the "Octane Render", but that's so special and niche that it's completely out of scope for Apple's "PRO" marketing.

I'm so sick and tired of those "PRO" arguments! Clearly, the major target audience for mac books are rich college kids, who buy Mac Books not because they're "PRO" but because they expect "PRESTIGE" on their campus.
Then there is also still a market among the DTP and media professionals because of decade-long "IMAGE inertia" <-go figure
P.S. Adobe Creative Suite (PRO) also runs on "cheap" PCs (less ca$h).
not that your argument even deserves a response, but I will reply anyway.. Modo is the only Pro 3D app for a mac? haha.. what about cinema 4d, max, or maya? pro user fail...
I could convince myself to buy anything if I read too much of the Apple marketing material.

Eh, I only buy stuff I absolutely need. I'm good at holding back.
I thought there would be some more people who only read this thread and have not participated in it, so to everyone here, who is your favourite thread contributor here?
I'll start, for some sort of technical info, I would probably go with mcarling, but most of the time I would say it's PDFeirro.
It's possible they will make bigger changes but I wouldn't count on it. There's 3 28W HD 5100 processors suitable for the 13" rMBP and they were all released Q3 '13

...and 3 of the 4 47W HD 5200 processors for the 15" rMBP were Q3 '13 while one's Q4 '13

If Fringe taught me anything, it's that there is no coffee in the alternate universe.
The 13 will see bigger upgrades than the 15, at least compared to last year's models. Count me in as a 13-inch buyer.
Technically, you could just use a typewriter and mail everything, instead of using a computer.
Well I'm glad you guys think my comments are worthwhile! I feel like it's mostly been a tirade of "My computer sucks!! I need a new one to check Facebook nao!!!!! Trolls are mean!!" I can't even recall how I first got into this thread anymore, and I haven't been around too terribly long.
It's like we're a bunch of soldiers fighting a war together (apologies to any vets who might be offended; thank you for your service!) or a party in a role playing game. We've suffered so much together that it'll be sad to see everyone go their separate ways. Clearly we should start a "Waiting for Haswell MBP Veterans Recovery Thread"!

I completely agree. No matter how you look at it, Intel's Iris Pro is mediocre at best.
thanks alot!!! really help me for decide between the 13'' and the 15''

If by Tuesday you mean yesterday, then yes, you are right. I am 100% sure the new rMBP won't be announced yesterday.

It isn't that odd. The market for the iPad and the iPhone is by far larger than the market for MBPs. I sincerely doubt that even half of the leaks released on any of their products weren't pre approved by Apple upper management. They benefit more from leaking stuff about iStuff for the hype because there are more people who are willing to replace their mobile devices every year than there are people who will replace their laptops every year.
Next year when Broadwell hits, maybe Intel's integrated GPU will show some interesting numbers... provided they can also embed some more video RAM in there for us texture maniacs.
And I'd say... anyone who says more video memory isn't important probably hasn't had to deal with architectural drawings with a lot of textures and details.
Sure, you can drop the amount of visible textures and details down to fit in that 128MB of video RAM, but having 1024MB to play around with does help. And that's not to mention every texture would have to be quite big in resolution either way to take advantage of the Retina display.

Yeah... seriously...
I haven't had much time to go back and discuss this lately, but it just irks me when people start making stuffs up in an attempt to justify the next rMBP having Iris Pro.
There's a reason why the very recent Haswell iMac refresh has Iris Pro only in the lowest-end configuration! And only on the 21.5". The 27" iMac doesn't have an Iris option at all.
Even Apple knows that Iris Pro isn't a viable option for their "non-Pro" computers...
It's not odd. iPhone and iPad leaks get Foxconn turncoats much more money than yawn-inducing personal computers.
broadwell got delayed, probably to 2015. knowing apple, we probably wont' see a broadwell refresh until summer of 2015, bummer. i wonder if next year will then make a function refresh and not so much of the silicone. that'd be interesting.
also, i think it's impossible for apple to get Iris Pro inside the 13". there aren't any chips that can fit in their with the right TDP
