and I have my doubts the 2016 model will be so as well, but its interesting speculatingSuch optimism. Pro hasn't meant Pro for a decade.

Yeah.. True. I don't know what to do nowWell I thought it was significantly cheaper , but it isn't . Your pointBut you have to keep in mind that the igpu version much cooler and maybe a bit more quiet is , due to another fan
Even the 2016 rMB (the thin one with no fan) I tried out in May could do Handbrake encodes up to 4 times quicker than my 2010 MBP.
I don't know how quickly you want Handbrake to run but the 13" will be more than capable and if you're going for a 15" it'll be an absolute breeze.
Profit margins. They need a competitive entry price, because most sales are base model.Even if the 512 gb doesnt come stock, I really hope they lower the prices of their SSDs. I dont understand how a 1tb ssd can cost $800 more than a 512 gb
Paralells does not currently work with sierra, if your plan on keeping your os updated, don't use paralells (since it won't work with new updates right away). If using windows applications at the same time as your mac applications is a must, then you have to go with it since you boot into bootcamp (you run it natively).So I have a copy of parallel 10 or something that I got from BH Photos awhile ago free as part of a purchase of I forgot what. Should I install boot camp on the macbook instead of this? Is bootcamp better?
Absolutely, that's crazy. I hope I can get 32Gb RAM and 1TB ssd for a decent price (less than 3000€)Even if the 512 gb doesnt come stock, I really hope they lower the prices of their SSDs. I dont understand how a 1tb ssd can cost $800 more than a 512 gb

If performance is an issue you can't really compare paralells with boot camp since it runs natively like i said before, you're not emulating windows with boot camp, you're running it.

Not what I want to hear! Isn't the new MBP 15" going to have the capable Skylake GT4e Iris Pro? I don't mind having to wait an hour or two for a 4K VBR encode.
you wouldn't watch movies on you toolbar.
Eddie Cue is working on a streaming series right now for the toolbarUltra-super-duper widescreen format!
Well, someone before said that the one with iGPU has one more fan? So it's way cooler.Why are you against getting the dGPU? I mean in that case you get both the iGPU and the dGPU so you're not missing anything and looking at past models you can switch off the dGPU to save battery. So there is absolutely no downside to getting it.
My 2010 MBP can't run even Netflix anymore without using the dGPU. This shows how much a dGPU can extend the useful life of a machine in addition to the benefits of having a faster machine to begin with.

That's what I was wondering: how many of the 15" folks would be getting a 17" if it were offered? Let's say, with 32 GB of RAM and a 4K screen?
I probably wouldn't, as enticing as it sounds, because it would cross the line into not being portable enough. 15" is a perfect balance between desktop replacement and portability.
I thinks he meant that the iGPU model has one less fan which reduces the fan noise. I still think it will run cooler beacause the dGPU heats up a lot.Well, someone before said that the one with iGPU has one more fan? So it's way cooler.
I would buy a 16" or 17" macbook pro in a heartbeat. Really, one of those larger screen laptops doesn't really have to have a bigger footprint if they implement the same bezels as the ones on the Dell XPS.

I have no idea honestly. Has GT4e been compared to current dGPUs?, is it any good?
Look, you'll be fine with the iGPU, as long as you can wait longer for encodes.
So you think the 15" base model with the 2.2ghz quad core processor with 16GB ram will be more than ample for my needs?
What times do you expect for availability? Will it be for sale the next day? The same as when they released the current model in 2012.

unfortunately Jony Ive is in love with the large bezels. We could have larger screens for years or smaller footprints. But he thinks there is a perfect balance between the bezel and the screen size. This guy will eventually ruin apple by making less and less useful devices......
