Great! Thank you =)
The rMBP 13 could be a interesting choice, even more if they finaly do it 14-inch.
Got a tip for us?

Well, I think the most important thing it's about compromises.
Sure that you can go even lighter, just get a lighter materials like plastics, magnaliums, or etc. but prepare to get trade-offs.
So does the thinner things.
It's not really the thinnest the best, but thin enough to let you have a good specs, were the best way to do.
Just saying.
Yes, a 28W Skylake-U with Iris Pro 580 graphics would be quite a significant boost in graphics capability for the 13" . The ballpark estimate was a 2x improvement between Broadwell's GT3e Iris 6100 and the Iris Pro 580 GT4e graphics in this potential new Skylake-U.
The show itself is on http://atp.fm
The chatroom is at #atpfm on irc.freenode.net but as far as I can tell, there isn't a log online.
are these good for the macbook pro, can we expect for the march event?

The 13" Macbook Pro (that uses iris 6100) is a 28Watt part. You should expect the HD 550 in the 13" replacement, not the 580.
Here's an interesting thought from me, will the next MacBooks uses the 7000 series aluminum like the one from 6s?

Read the post at the top of this page. It refers to the existence of a 28W Skylake-U with Iris Pro 580 that's supposed to go into the Skull Canyon NUC, and sounds like a potential choice for the 13" rMBP.
If so they could shave of some weight at the same time. Less material to maintain the same strength (or improve it slightly).
If they do this the only difference would be the CPU itself, a dual core versus quad core... I'm not sure if they would do this would undermine the position of the 15".
To think about it, nobody really bend their MacBooks like the iPhone 6 did, so we might not see the 7000 series other than the iPhone.
But if a thinner design it's possible, switching to 7000 would benefits the hardness and can also be lighter than before.
I'm not really understanding about materials, but shouldn't had a huge difference in weight for aluminum alloys, but the benefits for 7000 might be larger than its sacrifice.

I guess the laptops already has Al 7000. They have bigger surfaces (they bigger the easy to bend), and they are devices in constant situations where they could have bent, student's backpacks, travels, etc... but I don't remember any post / news about it.
I don't know, it's just a guess. There are a lot of solutions out there for chassis, also the thickness of the surface is important for the bend resistance, like the internal design estructure, distance between screws, etc...
A quad-core 45W part with Iris Pro would have a much higher thermal envelope and greater processor performance, while the 28W part would throttle sooner, and will anyway be physically incapable of the level of multicore performance due to it having just 2 cores vs 4. A potential Iris Pro 13" on the other hand, would just make the next 13" by far the most powerful 13" laptop from a graphics perspective.
i heard that is out there the surface book with an dgpu, everybody say that is the most most powerful 13" laptop from graphics perspective
I am referring to iGPU performance. The last 13" to have a dGPU was the 2010 model I think, and that was a custom Nvidia part. Therefore when I talk about 13" rMBP performance, I am talking only of iGPU performance. Apple is unilkely to go back to dGPUs for 13" . The Skylake on the Surface Book doesn't have Iris Pro either, and it's a 15W part.

Probably only big difference in performance for the laptops today are the graphic chips they're using?
I think that's the major difference though, since everybody used the same CPUs from Intel, although I don't know about RAMs and Flash Memories--Samsung makes the best memory chips and Flash memories, and Apple tends to use them, but other may uses them as well.

From the graphics though, the processor for SB actually it's a bit slower however.
