Waiting for Haswell MBP Mega Thread

[AlecMyrddyn]

(Talking about the 13" haswell rMBP)

You can get 16GB BTO but I doubt it comes standard with the high-end model. I'm guessing it will be 8GB.

You sure about that? The 13" rMBP has been limited to 8GB so far. I would love 16, but nothing has been said indicating that it will now support 16...

iris vs iris pro is a huge difference right?

 

[McFreggle]

Did they say anything about Thunderbolt 2 for the rMBP, I don't see it in the live blog

Yes, it's in!

[john123]

I laugh in the face of all haters

Now, tell everybody it's not happening

In fairness, there were like 2 people saying it wasn't happening...let's not exaggerate their numbers.

 

[sarakn]

Please tell me what to buy - iGPU or DGPU and why?

thanks.

 

[Stef4n]

The first time I am not disappointed by an macbook update. Nice, especially the price!

 

[sarakn]

Oh yeah here we go!

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH IIIIIIIITTTTT'SSSS HEEEEEREEEEEE!!!

******** ****** ***** **** ***** **** *********



Shut up and take my money FAST!

Haleluja!!

I need a ciggie and a shoulder to cry on.

 

[Watabou]

sarakn I dont hear youuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

Why? Did he say they are going to release it in February?

I think most of us lost hope when Apple didn't release it on August/September, but they were probably waiting for TB2.

200 Price Drops!!!!!!

$200 less, but inferior performance on the graphics side and just an hour more battery. Is that a good trade? That's a personal opinion.

 

[masterell]

That's it. This thread is now obsolete.
Meet you all on the 'I just ordered thread'

Don't go! We're almost on the 14000 mark!

 

[Blue Sun]

Incredibly weak, actually. Putting price aside, this is kind of a step backward for the base configuration...

Its an hour more than last gen...

 

[Watabou]

Yes, it's in!

confirmed

Awesome!

 

[john123]

Its an hour more than last gen...

That's an hour in marketing, but less in real world usage. It also comes with a regression in graphics—granted, one that probably won't matter to most users, but still...

MAC PRO Intel Xeon E5, with 3,6,8 or 12-cores. 1866MHz DDR3 ECC memory. AMD FirePro graphics 12gbs VRAM. Thunderbolt 2. starts $2999 Available later this year. HOLY GOD. What a BEAST.

Pinging RICK-ITA! Attention: PINGING RICK-ITA!

Have you decided to go 13-inch rMBP? I know you were on the fence previously.

 

[Rick-ITA]

No Mac Mini? And the thunderbolt display?

 

[sarakn]

sarakn I dont hear youuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

I'M ON CLOUD 9. I could buy someone a rMBP right now - last gen of course.
$7500 ready to spend.

Come on, let's get to the iPad.

Should I buy Time Capsule 2TB or 3TB. I was going to buy an additional drive to add on, but wondering what makes more sense. I think I can partition TC.

 

[Narcaz]

Thank you guys for alle the debates about dgpu and battery life.

 

[Agent-P]

No IGZO

(not that I had high hopes for it anyway. At least we still got a price drop)

 

[sarakn]

In fairness, there were like 2 people saying it wasn't happening...let's not exaggerate their numbers.

Yea, and 1 was me. It was not hating, it was being pessimistic to temper disappointment.

 

[john123]

Great, you can buy me that, because I'd rather have the last generation—especially at the prices for which those will be selling now simply because they're allegedly "older" and "outdated."

 

[theCraigLaw]

So, it's 4:41am in Sydney at the moment. Will they be available in shops if I go at 9am!?

 

[Rick-ITA]

Have

you decided to go 13-inch rMBP? I know you were on the fence previously.

Yes. Money was the main reason for being on the fence.

But now what I will buy will cost me 100$ less than the previous model so I will go for it (i5/8GB/128SSD).
Well I still have to decide the configuration so suggestions are welcome (it really depends if that option will be available as BTO and the cost for 256GB).

But I will definitely buy it this evening as soon as the Apple store come back online
