eBay.... just over 3 months old. Apparently like new. Fingers crossed it pans out but I couldn't justify the price of what a Pro could be with that there....
Got a tip for us?

It seems all the motherboards at that RAM speed support multicard, and if that if you get this Gigabyte at the right price, you can't go much lower. And it looks like the cheapest one with M.2, so it's probably the best choice for a budget build after all.
Note also that when I said 8-core, I did not mean lower clocked.
Apple New Zealand have an interest free deal on the MBP until October 16th.
Coincidence?

Here's something I'm curious about--if the new MBP is released with the same color options as the iPhone, which color would you get?
//Reminder: the colors are Jet Black, Black, Silver, Gold, Rose Gold
While I REALLY like the Jet Black, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep it looking nice. I'm not even sure about Black vs Silver. I objectively like the color black and how it always looks clean, but I'm so used to the black/silver contrast between the chassis and keys. Any designers/fashion people here have some insight?

There is literally zero chance I would get a Jet Black Macbook Pro after seeing these pictures: http://imgur.com/a/tamvB
Literally a nightmare.
Since my favorite color, space grey, has been discontinued, ive been left with only two real options: Silver and Gold. I dont like the new matte black color and I feel it will scratch easily and show the silver underneath after a period of time. Probably going to go silver

Sweet merciful God. A part of my soul died. Please take that amalgamation of filth and purify it in the flames of Purgatory.
Sorry, I went a tad overboard there. I just REALLY don't like fingerprints.
I knew Jet black was a waste of time the second I saw it. That thing is going to be a finger print scratch magnet galore. A case is pretty much mandatory but it defeats the purpose of showing off the new finish, and even if you don't use a case the finish would look nasty before noon. Completely useless.
An entire MacBook? I'd throw it out the window in frustration.
Apple should start making accessories for their devices like cases. I would love a MacBook case made by Apple.
The GPU in my 2011 MBP is failing once again as well. I am holding off on Sierra because if it fails to the point of being unusable, I have to pull the SSD and boot externally from my 2009 mini media server to continue work on while the MBP gets repaired — which won't run Sierra.
How many motherboards do you have to fry before they just give you a new machine? Delete this before they completely misinterpret our needs and have an event only focusing on their new Hermes MBP cases next month.
Yep:

http://www.patentlyapple.com/patent...rk-on-virtual-keyboards-for-imac-macbook.html
There are many other related patents, can't find the one with the drawings of the various regions on a virtual keyboard/control surface, but that was what I was looking for.
I love the space grey they've been using for the rMB, and will be disappointed if it's not available. But my second choice would be Black.
Do you guys think the new rMBP will have a similar keyboard to the rMB?
I sure hope not, it felt terrible when trying it out at the shop. I don't think I could manage.

Oh boy, I really should have bought the 2015 model a year ago...
Guess I'll have to suck it up. One year of less productive work, what's another month? sigh...
Holy crap I just freakin, started at 988 and looked down at 990, then looked right -> and was like WHOA, 1005! geezus!
I'm still on 990 btw, but damn!
and this is how lame the new rMBP will be...
and I finally caught up reading, and you guys got to 1006...

Actually, looking at the Magic Keyboard review it looks alright - the buttons actually stick out. The rMB has very flat mushy keys that don't feel like they're being pressed.
