After seeing the Galaxy S7 and owning it, I would 100% cream myself if the new rMBP had a OLED display.
However I think there's a 1% chance of that happening, and OLED displays are expensive as hell still (I think but it would most definitely inflate the price of the MBP)
edit: and jk I was wrong
Even thought you paid £200 more than the phone cost?
cant go wrong with the minix Neo c - outstanding build quality in silver, gold and space grey

Go sit in a corner.
a 5k cinema display has been in the works and will be released either alongside the new mbp or later.
Literally 2 days ago people were in here postin stuff saying "March 2017" "we don't even know if there IS an mbp"
So I think it's safe to say they were pretty tight lipped
It's more like we were too impatient to accept rumors from reliable sources like Ming and Gurman, who have been right time and time again
Ming told us about this like 3-4 months ago.
When one buys a 4-5 years old machine, they don't usually expect it to match the specs of the current ones. Such buyers are rarely Apple enthusiasts or professionals with high performance demands. Such machines are usually bought when the budget is really tight, when performance does not matter or when the buyer wants some kind of trial with macOS and isn't ready to pay the full price Apple asks for their current models.
Quite likely a lot of these buyers will be shopping for a '13 inch Macbook Pro from 2016' and will be comparing your offer against other '13 inch Macbook Pros from 2016', not against the 2020 specs. Because if they were ready to pay more for performance, they wouldn't be looking for a 4-5 year old machine to start with.
And I don't think 8GB will be 'too few' for a non-demanding consumer 4 years from now on, to be honest. Past 4 years did not create such a shift at least. I've been helping a friend to pick a laptop in the price category that felt acceptable for a non-enthusiast (~500$) and most laptops for 'normal people' like her still come equipped with 4GB. And it's actually enough for what those people do with their laptops.
That means 8GB that my base 2012 rMBP15 came with is still overkill for a lot of people. A lot of them are buying brand new laptops with as much RAM on board as my White Macbook had in 2007, which was almost 10 years ago. And the desktop/laptop technology development has only slowed down since then, I'd say.
With this said, I don't actually advocate against buying more RAM. I think it makes sense if one wants to enjoy using their machine for as long as possible. I just doubt it will save money resale wise. Yes, it will sell for more, but it will originally cost more too, the sell may prove to be harder and the % of investment lost may end up being a little higher than for a base machine. Doesn't mean it's not worth it though. We buy computers to use them ourselves after all.
May have to wait until they put it in the Education Store, although that may be instant.

exactly.
We had a sketchy case leak that may or may not be what we are getting.
This macbook pro line has been almost leak free. We really don't know whats going on besides speculation.
Nothing like parts leaking for the phones.
makes a lot of sense. thanks a lot for the detailed response. now i see that people will be comparing my 2016 map to other 2016 models if I decide to sell in the future. I never thought of that.
a lot of people here have been telling me to get the 16gb upgrade but I feel most (if not all) use their MBPs for more professional work such as VMs and CAD programs. the most intensive work I can imagine myself doing at one time is a FCPX render while having iTunes/Spotify playing music and using photoshop to edit a single, under 15 mpx, photo. maybe 20-30 tabs open in safari in another space. do you think I should upgrade to the 16gb for $180?
I also wonder what you are doing? I presume you are getting the 15in so you will get 16gb anyway. but if the base 15in came with 8gb would you upgrade? what programs do you use?
What are the chances of these Macs actually running on A series processors?
And what are the chances of a hybrid ARM/x64 if so?
Will we at least be able to run x64 with something like Rosetta?
It makes sense if we have Touch ID since the secure enclave relies on the A series from what I've read.
But I just feel like this would be a controlled leak if it were really happening. But I also feel like if it's going to happen then surely it would be along with a major redesign like we're expecting.

Yeah, I would hold off on getting any type of USB-C / TB3 mac hub until vendors have a chance to certify their gear and make the necessary changes. MacBook Pro getting TB3 will be a game changer.
There will be TB3 solutions available just have to give OEMs time to crank them out.

That's about 1 in 10^(10^35660.00640049480). If we were to calculate the volume of the universe in cubic Plank lengths, that number would be the equivalent of 10^(10^35660.00640049480) universes.
As you can see, those numbers are identical. Meaning that the number given is so huge, if you were to write a number in every cubic plank length of the universe--meaning that the entire universe would be a solid mass of supercondensed graphite--you wouldn't have made a dent in the number. You would need more UNIVERSES than that number you've just written--all filled with numbers like that--and you would still have not made more than a tiny DENT in writing out that number.
So yeah, this guy means business.
Ya, no doubt Anker will come up with solutions after they find out millions are buying new USB-C Macbooks!
Wait, you mean the education discount may not be applicable spontaneously with the available day?
Hey, how soon will refurbished macbooks show up in stores ? Just wanna save few hundred bucks for same gear
I'm not sure but this question was asked a couple hundred pages ago. I believe 6 months after the release?
