Just a matter of minutesThey may want to do it today, since tomorrow everyone will be analysing the presidential debate and it may get lost in the noise.
Any architects here? Trying to debate whether or not I need a dgpu and quad core because I prefer the 13" form factor. I would be using revit on VMware and maybe a360.
With no Invites yet I wonder all these reports and confirmed rumours of a Mac event happening on the 27th Oct is any true ??

This is actually pretty on point. Twitter will be a mess tomorrow. Jony is probably making sure the invite art looks juuuussssttt right. He doesn't care about no debate, ha.
Not an Architect (don't kill me I know yall hate us), just a design build firm and I run softplan in bootcamp with my dual core i5 imac and gt 650m. I would imagine with the top quad cpu with integrated graphics and 16gb of ram you would be fine without the dGPU. maybe someone else can chime in on how taxing VM is on ram
EDIT: I myself am in this same predicamentct
"Oh... uh... yeah... the MacBook Pro. Of course we updated it. It's in our uhh... car. We'll just be right back *car screeches as it speeds away*"
I think for many people 256 GB suffices, so it wouldn't make sense to increase the storage of the base model IMHO. Of course it would be great to have >1TB options, but for the base model, 256 GB should be fine. Better to pay $ 100 less than having 512 GB.
If it's going to have this OLED touch panel then I imagine they'll make a song and dance about that.
"Let's touch base" or something.
Im going for a 15", 512GB and 16GB RAM... whether I pay up for dGPU is still to be decided... depends on the performance. If 512GB is base in the 15", I may splurge and get 1TB... but doubtful. Most of my stuff is on NAS.
I can't stomach paying £160 explicitly for a 16GB RAM upgrade like in the current gen, so I hope the 13" has 16GB standard in at least the high end config.
Guys, I'll be getting a MBP for the first time. I need it for grad school work (programming), casual design/art (Photoshop) and casual gaming (new Civ/Cities Skylines). Will an i5 with 16 gigs of ram suffice? I'll be getting a 13" so if I'm not mistaking, it will have an iGPU?
Only high end 15" have iGPU
Edit: I'm wrong , I was thinking of dedicated GPU and your right the 13" have iGPU
I think the invite was planned for tomorrow, but the news about the event might speed that up and the invites could go out late today.
False. iGPU is integrated GPU. All of their MacBooks have an integrated GPU. Only the high end 15" has a dedicated GPU (dGPU) in addition to the integrated one.
