Yes, my source is Satan himself, he just wanted to set this thread on fire :D

No, I don't have any source, but to all people out there waiting for the new MacBook Pros:

I advise you to wait if you can, because even if the new MBPs are released in Fall, the satisfaction you get from finally receiving them and to have endured all this waiting and not giving in on buying old models/ Windows equivalents, is going to be phenomenal.

Don't give up guys !

Stores starting to go down has me ecstatic!

To help this thread hit 300 pages by showtime, I wanted to stop my longtime lurking and contribute at least one post. My hand me down 2010 15 MBp still works fine for light PS, server maintenance, and bootcamp gaming.... But my wallet says I need something better ;)

I'll continue my lurking now.

My girlfriend's been pushing me to get a plant. I think i'm gonna do that.

We need to start up a support group for spurned Apple fans. Anyone in Lyon, France interested, hit me up.

Might want to have something a little stronger within reach to numb the pain from a potential disappointment though ;)
 
High doubt that there will be anything about MBP's today. If AMD is not ready with the dGPU yet, Apple will not put an old dGPU in a machine with Skylake. I'd like to get a new MBP. I really, really would. But I'd rather wait for a redesign. The current design is old. The new bezel-less displays found on some new Windows boxes look fantastic, and shrink the overall size of the notebook some. Apple looks, well, older.
Things to consider:
Apple can spend sixty minutes on iOS crap, so I wouldn't speculate about content or how long the show needs to be.
General assumption: 70% here will wait until fall. 30% will buy today no matter what (that's why Apple is in no rush, perpetual sales no matter what the hardware looks like). The last 10% storm off to get a Windows machine only to be back months later in the next "waiting for" thread.
The LAST thing Apple wants to be bothered with is non iOS hardware. The new Mac Pro reignited the professional interest. Then Apple crapped on it by not doing a thing with it. Mac mini? Don't even go there. That could be a great little box if Apple cared. The iMacs are nice, but no upgradeability on a desktop? Who said it needed to be so thin as to delete basic ram upgrade slots (21").
So the only items needing a refresh are the Macbook Pro's, the Macbook Airs, the Mac Pro, and the Mac mini. Does that sound like a company interested in computers? Nope, but rest assured you'll get new iPhones twice a year.
"Let them eat cake" whispers Tim in his slumber. I'm an Apple fan, but I just don't know why I do it. Didn't think the kool aid was spiked but I guess so. I really wish I could go Windows but I can't. Where's that cake?

It's funny how most of the time we already know whats going to be released.. but this time we really don't. We're all here just going crazy while waiting for this keynote. :rolleyes:
 
What time is the event UK time? They're normally around 6pm.. but the counter on this site is saying 5pm.
