Damn it! Volcomvenom
Go get some sleep. It's almost there. This event is putting so much stress on us.
That's not good
Americans can just wake up and watch the keynote, we Europeans have to suffer from the excitement all day long to finally watch the keynote at 7PM. You lucky bastards
My hole workday is just... unproductive! A waste of time... *aaaarrrgggg*
Shortly after the release, whether that is today or another media event
Sweet dreams are made of these new macs
Who am I to disagree?
When I buy one it will travel the seven seas
Everyone here's looking to buy one.
Just spent the last couple hours catching up on the thread (yet again).
So today's the big day... hopefully Apple comes through and gives you guys everything you've been hoping for!
See you on the other side.

But we are waiting for the macbooks also after the event. Where is the difference? Maybe some people will wait weeks for it...
If the release is announced for, say, end of November can we keep our thread please until then?
I think it's perfect here. I finish work at 5pm giving me just enough time to pedal back home, get changed, make my tea then sit down and watch the event at 6pm.
Noticed something strange on the Apple Store online.
Yesterday (like everyday in my useless life) I've faked to buy a BTO mbp 15 (maxed CPU and ssd) and the shipping date was something like 4-11 November (1st of November is holiday here).
Today, the same configuration is given 1-3 working days.
The standard configuration is available tomorrow (or today for pick-up in store).
Well, or they have hired a lot of new workers, or they have a lot of already maxed out pros waiting, or something strange happened, or I'm just wasting my time (like everyday in my useless life).
Any thoughts?(please don't judge my life)

You are completely useless and have no life.
*goes to Dutch Apple store to check BTO configurations*
WE are completely useless and have no life.
3-7 Nov here.
I think the delivery dates are useless to predict anything. For the sake of fairness, Apple should not ship any of the old Macbooks today. But some will arrive tomorrow if you order now.
4-8 Nov in the UK, I imagine the new BTO models are going to get delivered at the end of November.

They should really call up people and ask them if they would like to switch to the new model that come out, but that would cut into profits.
I see significant downside - price of eGPU solutions (this enclousers have insane price) and also takes more space. Also I don't understand whats the problem of coexisting both solutions.
We'll just in case I don't get a chance to post later on (I'm on holiday currently) I just want to say thanks to all those involved in making this thread so special
I'm kind of envious of you guys as I pulled the trigger on a cMBP four months ago, it's not a decision I regret as I needed one then, but even after that purchase I still kept coming back to this thread....
It's been emotional
I was drinking Mojito, but not too much. It's cold here.
Whiskey is better.
Wasn't I already Mark Gurman and Serban?
Now I am also Wired?
Damn!
No.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I have a guest coming tonight at 7pm (exactly when the keynote starts). She's only in Amsterdam until tomorrow morning. I can't move the visit. I also can't tell her "why don't you sit here and read a book while I watch this Apple event".
I AM CURSED.
Give her drugs and let her sleep on your couch while you watch the event.
LOL I have your same GPU. Our performances are going to "Insanely better"
Love it.
And that's just iGPU.
Can't wait to have my hands off the dGPU!
So we almost did it friends.
6 hours to go.
I'll try to follow you by work.
Hope they will not fire me.
And I'm not even mad if this means better products.
I'm not gonna lie, the surface line-up is way more interesting than the apple line-up at the moment.
But hey, just few hours and we will know, I mean apple used an "historical" slogan for this event, the least that I can expect from this is an historical moment for apple computers (even just for the iMac if they prefer) rather than a camouflaged spec-bump.
I walked past the local apple store yesterday (around 9 pm, they were closed already) and there were 2 big trucks parked in front of it and they were loading a bunch of boxes into the store.
I don't know if @OllyW responded as your post is several pages behind now, but I'm ok with leaving it open for a short period. We did that for the Haswell thread as well, if memory serves me.
