Got a tip for us?

Shipping dates in the Apple Store are slipping in The Netherlands on the MBP 15. The "standard" configuration is available for delivery "tomorrow", but as soon as you add say 1TB or the 2.8GHz, maxing out the MBP 15, delivery dates are slipping to 13-17 October
That likely doesn't mean anything, it happened before, once the standard configs start slipping, it may indicate an imminent launch, but the custom builds are "custom" exactly because they don't have constant shipping dates, depending on parts etc.
Is the model different from whats being sold right now ? Sorry don't have time to check right now haha
Someone on appleinsider has reasoned through some possibilities.

What I hope is they'll offer 1TB as the top non-CTO configuration.
That way is should be cheaper.
Current top config is 512GB, so hoping for 1TB, even though it's a little early for the market, is not out of reality. After all it's a late 2016 laptop that'll cost almost 3000$.
1TB SSD & 32GB of RAM would be :Q____

That mac is scheduled to ship on the 12th.
I'm betting on Apple releasing press invites on the 5th for a 12th event.
True, but there are not quad-core i5 KL CPUs yet, I somehow doubt Apple got them 6 months early from Intel, DELL, Asus etc. wouldn't take that kindly at all.
Yes, definitely would not be able to edit 4k videos with the hardware back then. Editing 12 tracks with Logic in realtime.
We are talking Pro laptops, i don't care how fast Facebook loads

iMac 27" uses S-GT2 (first graphic, S, second line, Kabylake available Q4/16)
iMac 21" uses S-GT4 (first graphic, S, first line, Skylake available Q4/16)
MBP 15" uses H-GT4 (second graphic, H, first line, Skylake supposed to be available since Q2/16, Kabylake not planned at all, Coffee Lake planed Q2/18)
MBP 13" uses U-GT3 (second graphic, U 28w, first line, Kabylake available Q1/17)
MBA both use U-GT3 (second graphic, U 15w, first line, Kabylake available Q1/17)
MB uses Y-GT2 (second graphic, Y, Kabylake available since Q3/16)
MM uses same as 13'' MBP, used to offer same as 15'' MBP till 2012
MP uses Xeon E5 single processor, the 16xx-line. Currently uses Ivy Bridge, Haswell available since Q3/14, Broadwell available since Q2/16. Skylake is due ~Q3/17.
So, a Kabylake 27" iMac does not sound that unreasonable (launch Q4 2016). A Skylake 21" is possible, too. A Kabylake 13" MBP still sounds unreasonable, unless it just arrives in half a year. MBP 15" is still in the complete impossible never realm, unless Apple completely changes the processors it uses. MBA is the same as 13'' MBP, MM too. MB could be updated anytime. Even the MP might get an update.

I had a dream last night that Tim Cook introduced the new MBPs. They were white (ceramic?) but thicker than the current version. Turned out it was thicker because they added the DVD drive back! Upon closer inspection, it wasn't even slot based...it was a tray loader!
Then the laptop got thicker again (dreams don't make sense) and beside the CD tray was a 3.5" floppy drive. At this point we realized Tim was trolling us and I woke up before he unveiled the actual version.

Hey Apple, people are going ****ing insane. Stop this already.

Yes, just like how media consumption has increased over time and the service providers have used that to milk us for every penny we've got (cell providers have caps and now cable providers have caps, Chicago based here). But sure, why not, have Apple force us into the cloud so the providers can continue to gouge us so we can get our files. You know what, have Apple increase iCloud subscription costs so that we have they're all aligned and we have synergy. Or whatever other excuse you want to use to justify monthly subscriptions (which btw, most software vendors are doing now). At that rate, I'd have to drop $2k on a laptop, and another $2k in monthly fees over the lifetime of using that laptop.
If Apple wanted to show real courage, they should consider adding a ARM A10 chip alongside the Intel Skylake CPU. That way you could run a proper iOS 10 + Apps right inside from you Mac. Oh, and they should include the option to have a LTE/4G simcard slot for mobile internet too. That would be a bold move, but I don't now how much the A10 chip would add to the cost. Maybe they could strip out the GPU part of the A10 and let the Macs graphics handle it?
"In the latter days of the 'Waiting for Skylake MBP' thread, people turned to dreams, hunting down Serban, and recycling debates of old as a way to stave off their desperate unquenched longing for a new MBP. Tragically, only a few of the thread's many members survived those vicious last days and emerged into the glorious light to take hold of their very own redesigned MBP."
