Yep this looks legit!

 

[brunolimaam]

Endlich!!!

But based on that logic, it's ALWAYS going to be 'less likely' as each day passes until the day arrives. It's not like Apple is going to come out and say, we're going to tell you about this invite that we plan on sending out in the future.

100%

Umm yes it is less likeky that an event will occur in October the less days there are left in October. They have less days to send out an invitation as well. Tomorrow it will be 7. If nothing comes then people will claim a silent anmmocnemt or some other way where they will show off the MacBook with no audience. I'm not waiting for Apple to anonce an annoucment. I'm waiting for the announcement... and apparently it's here

Luckily i still have 1 kidney left to offer, im ready 15" with dGpu.
Btw, since i never have any macbook previously, does current 15" macbook pro allow me to watch youtube videos in 4k format? Since the resolution is not 4k thanks

 

[Schranke]

Words can't describe how happy I am right now...(single tear running down cheek)

Can you stop whining now the invites are out or do you need to see Tim Cook Macbook Pro in hand ?

I wasn't whining I was telling people to keep it in their pants until an official announcement.

£100 extra is bearable given the circumstances.



256GB is enough for me based on my current usage, but I will probably take 512GB just in case I need to dedicate some space to a Boot Camp installation later on.

Yeah that's why I want to install a second SSD when the time comes.

Realistically how long would it take an average person to learn Sierra 1 months, 2 months? I will for sure install Windows 7 just in case battery life suffers I might have to learn how to use OS X a bit?

Of course. I'd suggest watching Youtube in 4K even with a 1080p monitor. They give 4K video a lot more bandwith so it looks a lot better scaled down to 1080p than youtube's 1080p stream. Watching 1080p youtube on 5K iMac full screen is borderline unusable beacause the bandwith is so low and that screen shows all the nastyness of the compression.

You guys think my cable will make it?

Apple: "hello again"
Everyone: "***** have you been??"

 

[NotVeryFriendly]

Thank god it's finally happening! Cannot wait to get my hands on one.

The current rMBP can't take 2 SSDs and I don't think the new one will either.
For all we know Apple may solder the SSD this time!

I'm really looking forward to the eventual iFixit teardown.

Easily You need to start worrying when that metal shielding is gone and you see the wires. Even then you have some life left in it but it sure looks nasty

This, my dear friends, i call commitment.

Yeah that will be very interesting, there is no device these guys and girls can 't fix very impressive. But a soldered SSD would suck what if the SSD goes bad? Anyhow next week will be interesting

You lot won't like the Macs and say they are ****, talking about how the 2012-2015 design is better, you heard it here first folks.

 

[dk808]

Damn there's a lot of people that have been waiting for new Mbps, I'm worried it's gonna sell out instantly. Does BTO usually sell our faster or slower compared to base models?

I believe they are interchangeable terms, my friend.

You sound like someone who bought a 2015 model this year

Imagine. Announcement of new MBPs.
Availability, April 2017

I doubt they would solder the SSD on, makes it rather impractical as that would create extra variants of the logic board, unless it has been done on previous Macbooks so feel free to correct me if I am wrong. An m.2 slot is pretty sufficient and doesn't really take that much space on a custom board.
