Games on the 13" Macbook Pro? Don't even think about it, go for 15" and thank me later
But what's interesting is that either they start offering memory expansion options, or force everyone to stick with 16G (which is hard to believe considering other companies are offering 32G).
Yep, hbeGPU (homebrew eGPU) support probably won't ever go away if you don't mind a few mods, but if Apple gave us eGPU support built in, wow. What a time to be alive.
I'm probably going to be let down but I hope apple comes out with a true pro laptop that is above any pc labtop in specs and design. They could charge anything, people would pay 6k. My heart will be broken if they release mainstream intel chips with inferior specs than some pc laptops you can buy already. Apple is losing touch with their customers who will pay any price for the best design and best specs and listening too much to people who whine about the price of a base model.
It is the way of the future. Incidentally, another eGPU enclosure just saw the light today:

They'll give it to you if they can make a buck off it. Since I'm not sure how they could do this, color me skeptical. Though this would be EXACTLY perfect for me, as I want a 13 inch but would love to hook it up to a real GPU.
BTW, I'm disappointed that none of the click bait sites haven't run a rumor story about the new MBP's getting Xeon CPU's. That would attract traffic, right? Where is their imagination?! 32 GB ram? Pfffftt!
What is that. If Chuck Norris were an eGPU enclosure....
. I'm waiting on Akitio's solution myself:

Just a thought. Skylake supports up to 64GB of RAM.
Will we see option to upgrade up to this value or will apple save this for refresh of MBP in next years?
64GB of RAM would be great for some proffesionals what do you guys think?

Luckily the thread isn't called "Waiting For Awesome Skylake MBP" so our dreams will come true anyway!This MBP is gonna be such a let down, I can feel it!
Guys look at adildacoolset's original post. Look at the last edit time.
I knew it! He hasn't been seen here because he's a time traveler. He must have known that the Skylake MBP would be released 3 years in the future. We will see him here tomorrow by the time he edits his comment to correct the grammar error, exactly 3 years after the first post and just one day before the release of the MBP!

what do you guys think about the sales dates? when will they start? the same day, 27th? the day after?
I think Tim will stand up there, hunger games style "May the odds be ever in your favor" and drop the Apple Pirate Flag signaling that the store has been reopened right after the keynote closes.
So the 27th.
I was certain you were trolling then checked... it really says that! Hats off to @adildacoolset. Are Kaby Lake Macs out yet where... I mean when you are now?Guys look at adildacoolset's original post. Look at the last edit time.

I traded in my iPhone 6 Plus at the Apple Store when I picked up my iPhone 7 Plus. They just refunded my credit card $225 on the spot.i have this feeling that i wont be able to order one on thursday im still waiting for my iphone trade in apple gift card
As dedicated as this thread is, you'd be hard pressed to find ANYONE drop $6k for a laptop. I'm going with a maxed out machine, but wouldn't spend over $5k all in (with AppleCare). Apple recognizes there are people like that, but they also recognize that those are VERY FEW and not profitable to pursue.
