I really hope apple does not put in a 1st gen touch id sensor in the new macbook pros. but hey anything is possible with apple nowadays.
I don't trust Apple with their choice of GPU's. They chose what is available for the best price and profit margin.
i doubt the MBPs are being delayed. if they where the event wont be happening tomorrow.
EarPods? Flagship? Wait...what?
This is a great example of the problem. Once people use it for awhile (more than 5 mins) they will like it.
Is this a thread only rumor or something?
I am telling you, with 100% certainty, that it will not use the 480M. That will be present on one of the 27" iMac models.

Hey, don't jinx it! Don't say thinkgs like this until the MBPs are in our hands!
Pretty sure they were being sarcastic, guys.
rumors say the resolutions will remain the same, which is just plain laughable.
i'm using a 2010 "hi-res" 15" macbook pro, at that time you could choose to upgrade from 1440x900 to 1680x1050 for a hundred bucks. those were the money best spent. i am never going back to a computer with reduced screen estate.
Much has been said about the keys having less travel. Here's a perspective...
I grew up with mechanical windows desktop keyboards that had quite a bit of travel. Then when I got my Powerbook, I preferred those over the mechanical desktop ones after some time. With my current MBP I use it as my *main* keyboard even when connected with an external monitor and it sits right below my monitor with my laptop screen as a secondary screen below the monitor. I love it.
But I have seen many and still see some cling on to the loud clicking keyboards with so much travel that you would have thought that these people grew up with typewriters. So there will be a few (or perhaps many) that don't like this idea of less travel keyboards. But I wonder if a school kid today would ever complain of this new 'change' of keyboard designs.
To me at-least, it appears like less travel at first may be annoying but over time improves your typing. That said, I shudder to think of the day when other younger people would mock me using a 'clicker' keyboard when the new thing is all about using 'travelless keyboards' Let's hope that day is far far away!

Hey guys this monitor normally goes for $349+. I just picked it up for $99. I know it doesn't have all the bells and whistles but its still 4K. Check it out:
http://www.kmart.com/upstar-28inch-4k-uhd-led-monitor/p-012W008507308001P?SID=IMxdCx--activeusers
It will run 4K@60hz. This will be a walk in the park for the new MBP 15 inch right?

It looks like they are to me?

Yeah, I said really because it depends what you mean. The keys haven't been positioned closer together, they are just larger. However, the gap between the keys is smaller so you could say they are closer together.
You'll be disappointed if that's what you're hoping for. I'm not predicting a GTX 1050, I'm just saying that it will not have an RX 480M. I'd be surprised if it has a dGPU at all actually.
If it does have a solid dGPU, it will make me overlook the negatived of the keyboard/Magic Toolbar.
I made the switch to Affinity Photo and I think it's better. And far more affordable.
Because trying something new for 5 minutes is the best way to decide whether you like it or not.
I didn't like it when I first tried it. But I kept at it. I was at the table in the Apple Store for more than 15 minutes, just typing on it. It felt great afterwards. I tried the normal keyboard on the MBP, and it felt weird again. For a few days I really missed the low travel. Then I got used to a normal keyboard again. My point, though, is that it takes time to get used to it, but once you do get used to it, it's great!
