Of course it does. The professional market doesn't start and end with editing video in final cut.
Apple might have no interest in VR but it would nice if they made a computer that stood a chance of any kind of support.
People swore that iPhone 5S would be their last iPhone. Then came 6...
That's my point, wait till tomorrow, but also don't spend a 1,000 to 2,000 dollars on computer that you know will be your last from a given manufacturer. That to me doesn't seem like a good use of money.
Its like say, I'll buy a Ford because they used to have great designs, but they're kind of stale now, but I'll buy one tomorrow but never again.
My hope is they make this a long press on the escape touch key. That would be so much easier to remember in those frustrating situations when you need to force close something.
Depends. I wanted just 16GB RAM instead of 8 (on a 13"), it took 3-4 weeks which I didn't like so I just went with 8GB. I also opted for 1 TB SSD instead of 512GB, that option didn't effect the shipping time (immediate)
Not sure what your friends are doing, but I own the rMB and use it every day. No keyboard problems at all. It's a joy to use. Perhaps I'm a special use case because it drove me absolutely insane how wobbly keys were with the old scissor mechanism. I can't tell you how many times I pressed a key and got no response because I'd pressed the side of the key. When they talked about the butterfly mechanism during the MacBook keynote, I knew I had to have one.
Personally I use macs because they are the platform that runs MacOS. I regularly use Macs, Windows PCs and Linux boxes. MS could announce a pocket-sized supercomputer that powers itself using the lunar cycle and I still wouldn't buy it, because I hate Windows with a passion.
But that's just me I guess.
In the last couple of years Microsoft showed to be innovative, today I liked their new line. The Surface is very beautiful and versatile, Apple now has to fight them. Tomorrow is the great day (the "D-DAY") and Apple will show its machines to contrast Microsoft's products.
The fight seems very interesting... Please Apple don't disappoint us.

Lol agreed. So many people in this forum think photography or video editing comprises the whole sphere of "Professional" tasks...
Consider yourself lucky then... A little Google search told that it's a quite common problem. Even the guys at 9to5mac had to deal with stuck keys after a short time (they wrote about it in their 2-month-verdict).
Indeed, and like times before, I have enjoyed and lusted after their products, so hopefully that trend will continue
If tomorrow is D-day, then which side are allies/axis? Is Microsoft the Nazi, or is Apple the Nazi?
I believe so, and there's no chin, as the motherboard and components are in the base
Are you comparing the Apple event as a retaliation to Microsoft and using D-Day as an analogy?
based on the photo leaks we have tomorrow would end up being a disappointment day for apple?
I've been following this thread since June of 2015. I apologise if I missed it when this was discussed in the past few days but you could have honestly just answered my question in less than 90 seconds or rather just leave me hanging.
I have to agree. As a professional editor, I am now resigned to the fact that, if I stay with Apple, I'll be using outdated, vastly underpowered tech. And the few innovations they are coming up with are silly at best - who was asking for a battery-sucking LED strip to replace function keys?
If Apple doesn't impress me tomorrow, my 2015 Macbook Pro will be my last. Which says a LOT because switching ecosystems is going to be a PITA, but ultimately necessary, especially as my industry is now moving to 4K video.
You will only find those who complain on the net... the other millions around which work flawless are never mentioned. I've got a MBP 2010 at home, a rMBP 2014 and my wife a rMBP 2013... my parents a MBP 2011 and 2012. No-one had any issues yet!
Yep, I'm with you here. I'll max out this one, as it's the only way to get some performances and for it to last a while, and then I'm done with this.
Paying so much money to get outdated hardware, every time, so Apple can boast the highest margins in the industry, took just too much of a toll on me all those years.
In addition, in the rare case Apple comes with a true innovation, PC comes with a better version of it shortly after.
- See Retina -> 4k is better
- Thin factor -> quickly not the thinnest anymore
- Weight -> PC caught up very quickly
- Battery life ... etc.
MacOs and the hype are the only things saving the Mac in my opinion. No one would EVER buy those overpriced, outdated machine if they were PC.
Again, let's be INSANE for a second here and imagine a world where Apple released a Skylake version when the Skylake processors were released, and a powerful Kaby Lake when those are released.
Nonsense ! Impossible ! Right ? ...
Whatever new thing will be there, will be copied by a more performant PC 3 to 6 months after.
You can say that now, because this is not going to change, not until enough people are bored with the catching up. And no, it's not going to change.
Apple waited 2.5 years for USB3, x years for HDMI, Haswell, Skylake, the ****** outdated Cd/DVD drives ... There's a pattern here : Outdated and overpriced.
Again, without the hype or macOS ( and maybe the binding to the Apple ecosystem), NO ONE would buy those machine, at this price, if they were PC. No one.
you, me and everyone - you just don't see the potential of incredible usability improvement. Watchout 6-12 month ahead - and all other PC's will have this bar too.
