It sounds like a refresh, not an update. So it's likely to just be the introduction of USB-C and removal of other port types.
Unless with all the confusion Apple are going to have a 13" MacBook and MacBook Air!
Got a tip for us?

Possible yeah. I don't need a TB of storage in a notebook let alone 2. 512gb for me.

I don't see any way the Macbook Air gets retina, its purely there to give them a lower entry level price point in the notebook lineup and to give them something that might appeal to the education market price point wise.
Interesting no word about P3 gamut, though. I hope that's just a given at this point. There's no way they have an iMac, iPhone, and iPad with P3 and not have it on the MBP.
the new MacBooks are thinner so less physical battery meaning that even though processors are more efficient, I expect the same battery life as the current gen.
My credit card is breathing a sigh of relief
I think it gets it. It mentions "better quality". Wide colour gamut it the new retina I think, It will get rolled out across the lineup (apart from the Macbook Air which will keep its screen from ten years ago!).
They'll keep it at $800 to go to the high end storage.

Same here. I can stash $1k till early next year. It will be good to also give time for other TB3 monitor/dock solutions to pop up and hopefully give Apple some decent competition.
Lmao. I'd love my laptop running at a cool 350 degrees Fahrenheit and only getting 3 hours of battery life
wait I am hearing a lot of great things about HDR right now in TVs. people compare standard TVs like painting with 12 crayons and HDR TVs are like 148crayons.
is the wide color gamut and p3 the same thing?
I hope so! I really want 2TB and 32 GB of RAM. No word of what the max RAM will be yet as far as I've seen though. Anyone know?
2TB SSD option is interesting... I'm hoping that means it will be based on Samsung's brand new (and wicked fast) 960 Pro NVMe drive. Also bodes well for 512GB as the base on the 15".
HDR is a bit more than just wide color support, it also brings along with it (much) higher peak brightness levels. It's unlikely the new MBP would have an HDR-spec display, but I'd say P3 gamut support is almost a given.
"Wide gamut" would encompass a color space like P3, yes. Wide Gamut can also mean AdobeRGB, Rec. 2020 (for HDTVs), etc.

I'm so excited I just can't hide it. Touch ID, wide gamut display, Thinner, lighter, gold.
My ideal laptop is here!

If this does it happen I'll most likely wait a bit after they come out to save up for the 1tb lol. I really hope it's only $300 more
Oddly the SSD controller on that Samsung drive was codenamed Polaris
But yes.. they're amazing, I doubt it would be a 300$ upgrade though, it's a £200 upgrade in retail between 512 and 1tb so with Apple tax... :/

Launch MSRP of the Samsung 960 Pro:
Launch MSRP of the Samsung 960 Pro:
- 512GB - $329
- 1TB - $629
- 2TB - $1299
Ming rumors:
- Finally! First time we have rumors that it really is a Skylake processor we are waiting for.
- Too bad it's the same panel resolution, I wanted at least 2100x3360.
- 2TB option!! Hopefully, 1TB is a lot cheaper.
- Similar processor as Apple Watch to control the touch bar is interesting.
- Hopefully, that MagSafe-like adapter is included.
Surprised to see info on a Saturday but not sad about it.
Can't wait till Thursday....feels good to not have to add a date anymore.
PS: not worth the time to read the comments of the disillusioned.

Lol, I know. That is funny
Right now I get maybe 5 minuets and the fans are almost always on so it would still be a improvement for me.
Better speakers would be icing on the cake! I heard the new Macbook has really good speakers, so I'm assuming Apple will put good ones in too!!!
Apple has an interest in selling small SSDs to customers so they sign up to the cloud storage. There's probably going to be a 13" version with 8GB RAM/256GB SSD (like the current 12" MB, and replacing the cMBP) while the 15" will start with 16GB RAM/512 GB SSD.
1TB: +$600
2TB: +$1200
If the 1tb is only $600 more than the 512, and the 512 becomes the default I would be really happy. That would be like a $400 decrease from the current 1tb
how much do you think the base 256gb/8gb ram new 13in MacBook Pro going to cost?
