Link? I'm glad the MBA rumors are continuing. And if I see one more person say the $1300, single port, bad webcam, low-powered, wonky keyboard MB is ready to replace the $900/1000 MBA, I'm going to scream. And don't say reporters are confusing a thinner MBP for an MBA. Gurman reported it himself, and there have been other consistent rumors.
You have to think about the parents walking into Apple with their kid who's about to go to college, people of all ages who are on a budget and don't need bells and whistles or ultra-portability. The entire world isn't quite ready to use iPads as their primary machine. Some people just want a simple Mac laptop that they can plug stuff into and type on comfortably.
Same. I'm on a 15" mid-2009 MBP that was pimped out at the time: matte screen, 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, 500GB, doubled the RAM to 16 Gb,... it's lasted me well but the Airport Card is broken (so no Wifi, tried using a wifi usb stick, didn't work.. Apple Store "Geniuses" are clueless), the display is separating from the case, the click on the trackpad doesn't work anymore, the battery needs servicing,... like, my computer is falling apart and I have been waiting since last year for the 15" MBPs to be updated.
I'm not paying upward of €3000 for outdated hardware. If they don't release in October I'm seriously considering buying a Razer Blade. Actually the more I look at it the more tempting it is... and I haven't used Windows in 10 years. But I feel like Apple are just being *******s at this point, and I'm really not impressed by where the company is heading. I grew up on a Macintosh and I'm just beyond disappointed now.
And it is a machine I would buy instantly if the screen was improved and the silver bezels lost. The screen is the big issue for me and am surprised people can deal with it now considering what is available.
screen bezels are not as important as the screen itself. Do you know of other laptops with better screens in term of quality and color accuracy??
edit: sorry I thought it was the MBP you meant not the air. MBA screen really need to be updated
I do consulting and use a MBP. I'm lucky in a sense in that my current project is scheduled to run through March 2017 and the company (i.e. Where the project is) has supplied us their own company laptops to use...necessary to access their system. So, since my mid-2012 15 RMBP was sitting idle until then (i.e. I don't use it for anything else), I decided to sell it....sold it just this week.
So I can wait Apple out for a decent update until next Spring if I have to. Or, choose to go to the dark side if the updates are lackluster!

was it the same one that exploded?
WRONG, cheack the film that they made it for the recent Rosetta Mission (Which went successful). I'm sure you will love it.

As nice as the Razer looks, I could never swap back to Windows.
Firstly, I HATE it whenever I have to use it at work on to fix my Mum's laptop, and most importantly I've invested too much time and money into music software and hardware for my MBP and I have no urge to start again on a Windows machine.
I think if nothing new materialises within the next 6 months I'll have to bite the bullet and upgrade this 2011 machine.
Not sure I could live with that gimmicky rainbow keyboard either!

You should invest those 1000$ . By the time the new MBP arrive, you'll be rich!
wait for it...maybe a full options 13" will be better on what are you doing than the base 15"
Good thinking. I was mainly considering it because I have big hands, but I suppose 2 inches isn't too much of a difference.
It's a different rocket. The one that exploded was a Falcon 9 which has had many successful missions before. SpaceX also has a planed rocket called the Falcon Heavy which is basically 3 Falcon 9 boosters strapped together. The one they talked about yesterday was a different rocket they are planning to launch in the mid 2020s. It'll be the worlds largest rocket with 42 engines and it can take 100 people to Mars at once. It's so big they even used to call the booster BFR (Big ****ing Rocket).
Edit: Hah, didn't know MR had censored words. I thought people wrote the **** intentionally.
