Don't worry, we are almost there, this time it will happen.. I mean,look at all the signs, it's almost as if Tim Cook tweeted "See you on the 27th"
Ask your girlfriendDoes size really matter?
We're getting dangerously close to breaking the space-time continuum. October 27 is an ominous date indeed.
I swear three quarters of this thread now is just people jumping to irrational conclusions based on things entirely unrelated to the release of new Macs.
"Just saw a picture of the Apple Watch on Apples website, oh noes no new Macs for five years !!!!!"
"Apple Watch Nike+ being released on 29th, its a sign about new Macs !!!!"

I could definitely see an event prior to the 28th to talk about the Watch, the new Macs, and the Airpods. It's getting ridiculous at this stage though, if there's no event then I think I'll just get the present ones.
I still think the event will talk about new Macs and 4K Apple TV. I can see the watch and Airpods being mentioned, but only a little as those products were already highlighted at the iPhone announcement.
waiting 27th October is like waiting Machines before the battle of Zion in Matrix Revolution.
I don't know....this one reminds me a bit of Bush/Gore in 2000. The never ending election.
Oh absolutely. With the amount of updates to the Mac product line we're expecting they'll be a footnote at most I'd expect, but mentioning their availability brings more attention to them and prevents people from having forgotten about them by highlighting their availability.
A couple hundred pages ago, yeah.

Yes but this is the fastest growing thread with almost 23,000 posts in 5 weeks.
It's not about how fast you get there but about the journey. And this one has been spectacular as far as online forums go.
This is just more proof that they won't reveal it in October. If they are attending this event (FCPX), they won't have time for their own.
Christ..
Its the Final Cut Pro product team attending an event on the Apple Campus. The presentation is an hour long how on earth did you reach the conclusion that that will prevent them from having their own??
If anything it unlikely that they will announce a new version of Final Cut before the new hardware is released.
I would buy whatever they're releasing instead. I discussed this with my money, and it doesn't want to wait any longer. I can't force it to stay with me. It just want to leave. Nothing I can do..Oh just another fun thing came to my mind : what if there IS an even on the 27th BUT no MBP announced ??

apple needs to release the following to get all of the naysayers off their backs (although apple could care less):
macbook 13, 15
redesigned macbook pro 13, 15
macbook air 13 for the low price point but don't really care if they are obsoleted or updated
That's it. So honestly all they had to do in four years was redesign a macbook pro. The macbook 13 and 15 they already have the reference design. Don't tell me that it's that hard to do, because bigger computers would be even easier to cram stuff into, and lesser companies have no problems churning out two sizes.

Thanks for this funny way of telling how your money is reasoning and demanding action. It is kind of familiar... Anyway, again thanks for this laughable post in this loooong thread in these hard times for us loyal Mac-users who have impatiently waited for sooo looong nooooow....I would buy whatever they're releasing instead.

I've been monitoring this thread not because I plan to buy the Skylake macbook pro (especially not if it has that flat keyboard.) Instead, I've been planning to buy the current mbp at what I presumed would be a deep discount AFTER the release of the new one. I am still running my trusty early-2011 15", so any newish machine would feel like a huge leap, right? Now I'm starting to worry that it has been so long since the last update, that even the last pre-skylake mbp will be far from future-proof. My needs aren't ultra-intensive, but I use a pro machine for A/V editing and processing images and text from old newspapers (edge case I know.) As software and MacOS evolve to match the new machine (if it ever comes out) I wonder how quickly a 2015 vintage MBP will fade... any thoughts?
