Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

First impressions of the invite? Are those the available colors?

 

[J D A]

Prepare to shell out around $ 4.000 for that, man I envy you. As a student who just bought a PP 1978 Polo, I'm happy that I can pay around $ 1.700 for it and you go all in, damn Thankfully I can put my "tablet note taking" to rest soon thanks godc!

Realistically it'll just be the rMBP with the 512GB and max RAM/CPU and the extra adapter first. Based off current rMBP pricing it should come in at around $2770 USD haha.

I'm a student too, but unfortunately my income relied on my 2015 rMBP (MIA), and using a windows 10 laptop, well specced one no doubt reaffirms that I can never go back to windows again.

Definitely gonna buy renters insurance too same day. I'll buy AppleCare a bit later and the rest of my things later than that once I can afford a 4/5k monitor on top of that.

It's probably the most simplistic invite ever seen

 

[Lollo]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

3 years of:

"they'll send out at 8 am"
"they've never sent on wednesday"
"invites usually go out 12 days before"
"they will be sent next thursday"
"they'll mention the OLED"
"it'll be only a press release"

And then....

I myself like to think that those colors mean DCI-P3 color space screen and the powder flying looks quite dynamic.

Let's not get carried away!

Good work, guys. Apple finally responding to your demands and will sell you a brand new MacBook Pro with SkyLake.

 

[New_Mac_Smell]

Hello again? Hmm maybe this really is a significant update!

Hello - GUI
Hello again - Colorful iMacs
Hello again (again) - Telepathic user interface?

three years of waiting like

 

[WRONG]

Using that logic, that means we'll see Kaby lake in 2019 since this thread was started 3 years ago

Which is probably going to happen, considering the Intel Roadmap!

no, this here will always be the best "Waiting for" thread ever.

Of course, it is and forever will be.
Try to tell that Tim, though... (so many T!)

Yes. Gurman and Recode are wrong and you're right

Yep. Hello there. Ya'gotch me!

[fisherman188]

Who thinks the invite was supposed to come out tomorrow but, with Gurman and the rest of rumors spilling today, they decided to do it this afternoon?

 

[jeh72]

Only one week to go. Make sure you buy your adapters before then.

 

[frankgrimes]

my bank account will scream but screw it

 

[Jonesmak]

hey guys..... APPLE DONT GIVE A S#!% ABOUT YOUR INVITE PREDICTION TIMES!!

SIDE NOTE: time to celebrate AGAIN

 

[rentmjol]

I wonder what that red/pinkish color is supposed to signify. Probably just to make it nice but I'm guessing some people are gonna speculate since we got a whole week till the event

Rose gold color coming.

 

[RohirrimV]

Guys, I'm actually smiling. My mouth is spontaneously turning up in the corners. It feels so weird but so good

Let's not get carried away!

With respect, good sir, f**k that

 

[Disheart]

It would have been mentally much better if I had just listened to Ming. I could then just relax knowing that they were coming this month.

 

[The Martian]

Hello!

It's Apple...

 

[ConnorMcJeebus]

Conflicted emotions...on one hand, the new MBPs are finally coming out. On the other, this epic thread will end.

Just kidding. Give me my goddamn MBP.

 

[WRONG]

One year and twenty days after my registration here, they are finally coming.
I still can't believe it I've waited so long.

 

[Bo15]

Well as fate would have it I've just been scheduled in an all day meeting on Thursday October 27th... ARGH!!!!

Literally only happens 2 or 3x/year and it just has to be that day. Normally I'd close my office door, and stream the event.

The ONE event this year Im actually pumped for... and Im in a room with 5 other people for the day... sigh.

I'll try to avoid all sites/media that day till I get back to the hotel and play the stream then in all my nerd glory.

I feel ya. I'll be in an airplane from London to Paris!
