I can see that happening. So pretty much keep the same laptop minus SD and HDMI ports.
Though, I would really like to see an hdmi port stay

if they remove USB-A then HDMI and MagSafe 2 are probably going as well.
like, they could just shave a bit off the bottom. it's still thinner.
No, it's not.
Yes it is, as a single Thunderbolt port combines USB, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, PCI Express and power.
Notebook Check now has a bit more information on the Intel Iris Pro P580 graphics, claiming it should be comparable to a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 945M! That would mean a typical benchmark score of around 2500 (3DMark (2013) - Fire Strike Standard Score 1920x1080), compared to the Iris Pro 5200 in the current rMBP 15" score of around 1500. The dedicated AMD Radeon M370X on the current rMBP 15" high-end model scores 2350 points in this benchmark.
So we're looking at an integrated graphics solution that's faster than the current top-of-the-line dedicated GPU in the 15" rMBP model. Add Skylake quad-core CPU's and the new thunderbolt 3 protocol, couple with a potential redesign, and I'm sold.
Uh, thanks for the explanation but I just posted the exact same thing in post 5517. Where did I say otherwise?

Saw them. They look great, but still I would like to see real benchmark from them.
Also, isn't P580 the GPU from the Xeon CPU, so a little bit more powerful than the "normal" Iris 580?
Anyway, even if this iGPUs look great, I still want to see a decent dGPU inside the MBP, and I'm really hoping for Polaris.
Speaking of other things: 9to5mac and MacRumors frontpage are sad as hell: every ****ing news is about iPhone, iPad, iPad Pro, then again iPhone, iPhone 5, iPhone SE, iPhone 5S, iPad Pro SE... Argh!
Why?! Why can't we have a damn legit rumor about computers, beyond Ming Chi Kuo saying "yeah in June they're going to sell a lot of Macs" ?! It's been 9 months without a single bit of informations! C'mon, Apple!
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/2016-nmp.1952250/page-21#post-22610342 Are you sure it is worth it?
I genuinely suggest educating yourself about Polaris and Pascal. All of people who are reading this.

This is a great thread for starters. Pay attention to posts from Zlatan and Mahigan. Zlatan is PS4 game developer, and Mahigan brought a lot of understanding on the matter.

Are you sure? Cause there are 2 marketing strategies, either you leak some info about it or if you have a bomb, you can surprise the whole world when it explodes
Seems like a lot of information is being presented about various devices. Seems like it would make more sense to announce new macbooks in June alongside iOS 10 & 10.12.

What are you talking about? Informations from which devices?
Its like we've already known whats gonna show up on March 15th, so, where's the hype? Shouldn't they surprise us with some thing "new"?We already know they'll be announcing the new 4" iPhone, Air 3 and Apple Watch updates... it just seems more likely that if they announce laptops it will be in June. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't seem to fit.
NO ! It has to be : MARCH
