Waiting for Haswell MBP Mega Thread

[Rick-ITA]

I'm coming back home right now.
I hope I will be able to see the event using my pc.
14.000 befofe the event?

danish store down. but its just probably to make ready for the release LATER today. its not like they update anything before the event is finished.

No need to get excited - as this could be for ipad products only. Hope I'm wrong.

Recently, rumors have been swirling about the inclusion of 4G/LTE connectivity in the new Macbook Pros.

The top Apple speculators tend to fall on the "not in the Haswells" side of the controversy, but it's anyone's guess at this point.

With the Macbook media event only hours away, where do you stand on this issue?

Edit: The Apple Store is down, including the Macbook Pro section! That's as close as we've ever been to an outright confirmation of the Haswells.

It's down for all products. Not a true indication for Mbp.

I'll be in my next class right before the event starts.

I mean why MacRumors even includes October 2012 in their buyers guide as an update makes no sense to me because Apple decreased the price. Are prices changes considered updates now too?

No, only Spec changes are considered as an update. They require new internal part numbers.

 

[TruthX]

We know that the new Macbook Pros will come, several sources confirmed that over the past few weeks. So stop spreading this whining here.

 

[sarakn]

Same here. And I just wanted to order the early 2013 ivy bridge rMBP.. OMG!!!1!1!

Don't worry. If the new Mbp is released, u can get the old model for hundreds off. Be happy, that's a good thing.

So when Apple changed the LG screen in the 15" recently (about 2 months ago) that is an update?

It fits your criteria, it has a new model number.

I was being sarcastic. Not so sure if you are as well?

 

[sarakn]

Good morning everyone. Today's the day! The wait is almost over!

Hope to see some of you in the "I just ordered my MBP thread"

I hope so, the wait has been long and arduous.

Anyone planning on picking up a MBPr and an iPad mini retina as soon as they are available like me?

Yes, both.

 

[BASTI51]

Don't worry. They still have a LOT to cover. iPad only is not a lot. I think "a lot" is related to the event and not to the rest of the year.

Yikes!

 

[greenglue]

I think Mavericks will be available today, or if not, then by Friday, along with the new rMBPs either today or by Friday.

Any Aussie's up at this time?

I had the ipad retina and it was stolen. I decided to give the mini a try and I found it's the perfect size but not having retina is a real drag

I'm planning on rMBP, ipad, and time capsule.

Good morning MRers!
I just caught up with all the excitement.
I'm debating whether I should go surfing or stay to watch the keynote. Good swell just came today. What to do. What to do.

I can be Aussie if you want.

How much cheaper do MBP's usually become after a new model is introduced? I've only ever paid attention to the pricing of iPads after a new generation is introduced.

Going to take a 2 hour snooze and then wake up to get the popcorn mate!

Found a tutorial on how to watch it on PC here: http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/20/use-vlc-to-watch-apples-back-to-mac-event-on-a-pc/

Does anyone have the current URL to put into VLC?

Go surfing. The rMBP will be here if it's announced and u can watch the event later. Enjoy your day.

Surf, while watching the keynote, using a waterproof case on your iPhone!

Mavericks is the new surfing

One of our Belgian local 'computer' stores just took their MacBook section down on the website. Probably nothing, but let's hope this points to the newer models coming up.

Macmall had the prior gen for $700 less - this was the late 2012 model.
