Ok I see you have very good argument that there is a point in buying 2000$ macbook pro with expensive enclosure and eGpu. My english :D
Dude.. you don't know the levelof performance that you will gain with a $400~$500 investment do you? Also, if you want to troll around here, learn how to read English first.

To add to this: even though on paper TB2 should limit current desktop GPUs a lot, gaming benchmarks show that actually the limit is barely noticeable on most of them and becomes somewhat noticeable only of the most-most powerful ones. TB3 removes the limit even on paper.
Another major issue is hot-plug. As I understand TB3 won't bring any hardware improvements over TB2 for hot-plug to work better. This is purely software-related.

Good info.

Dude, if I want to have powerful graphic I wouldn't spend 2000$ for macbook pro 15 at first place. It's so hard to understand for you ?:)

Just imagine there are people who need both. Good laptop and occasionally (aka not on the go) top tier GPU performance.

If MacBook is not your initial constraint, macrumours is probably not the right site for you.

There is a difference between a powerful graphic and a powerful graphic processing power. use your words correctly. Then why are you here in the first place? You don't even understand why so many professionals use a mbp despite its high price and you think your logic makes sense? b**** please.

Oh and that the true sentence you wrote. Balderdash from you and bfid111 have a root here. It was really funny expirience to me to meet such a persons (but God thanks only on net :D ). Goodnight

Btw. im ios developer and want to replace 13' macbook pro for 15' :D

So why have you kept repeating "laptop for $2000" as something insane? You understand 15" starts from $1999? dGPU model starts from $2499?
Oh and that the true sentence you wrote.
Yes, it is. If MacBook Pro is not your initial constraint then you probably has nothing to do in this section of the forum at the very least. And if it is then $1999 is just its standard price, the price without any custom upgrades.
Goodnight
It's morning already. :p
 
I get excited when I see 3 new pages pop up within the same day because I think it means there is new information.
But then I get sad when I notice it's just 3 pages of strangers arguing over the Internet.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a 13inch march refresh or redesign. I see people quoting the fact that it's going to be the longest time since an update when March hits but it's been mentioned once and quickly forgotten that macrumors buyers guide is posting "days since" the 15inch release which was several months after the 13
 
roflmao @ the tension in this thread. Just waiting for someone to snap and show up with a gun.
 
I really hope they announce release dates in march. but I am stuck until the announce something either way. This is my initial investment so I can develop/teach myself stuff on the side outside of work. Missus also wants an upgrade on here non-retina pro. So ill be up for 6-7K when they announce. Not spending that much on 3 year old CPU's...

Maybe nothing - but maybe a little sign:

Availability of MJLT2 (at apple.com) with 2,5GHz and 1TB and 2,8GHz with 512GB and 1TB has changed from 1-3 days to 4-6 :rolleyes:

Yea both 13" and 15" non-base configs are 4-6 days. Seems to be the same here in Sweden as well. Though I wouldn't put too much thought into it.
 
Assuming Apple would budge to the pressure of offering an external GPU solution via TB3. Would it be like the "Core" extension of Razer's Blade Stealth or would Apple go a proprietary way and e.g. be coupling that with a (long overdue) updated Cinema display (thinking of their patent of a monitor functioning as some kind of docking unit)? And if they'd do the latter, would 3rd-party-solutions with a simple box including a PCIe slot still be supported / working on a Mac?
