Oops, I got a bit too hyped, the store is still down and that page might have nothing to do with MBP
I think that Apple needs fix the unicorn furry backcover of that MBP you're talking about, before they release it.
Oh, and also the annoying thinness of the graphene LionsLake CPU.
But hold on, it's really short coming.

Morning everyone, I gladly see we're making our best to reach page 300.
We can do it.
I'll personally follow the event with a bottle of FritzCola and a bucket of popcorns.
While we wait for that, can the strong supporter of the redesign explain to me why they want it so bad?
No fooling with you intended, I'm just curious.
edit: it's just me or even Apple is taking fool of us?
Or at least they were seriously reading this post.

Yeah I noticed. Got so excited that I didn't check any other products...
Why not just release a skylake redesigned upgrade without the dgpu? Which they can include in June. Vast majority of users will not even require the dgpu and wouldn't be willing to pay the extra cost since the iris pro will be quite good.
I had a dream about the keynote yesterday. It was so weird that I wrote it down to remember it and I just had to share it in this thread.
The first thing that I remember from my dream was that I missed the first part of the keynote. As I opened the live stream, I was very annoyed with myself because I forgot to watch it from the start.
The first thing I saw was Tim Cook talking about MacBooks. I was surprised because I didn't think they were going to update the MacBooks at this event. He said the new MacBooks had the new 6th gen Intel processors. Tim said they were updating the 15 inch, and introducing a new 16 inch MacBook Pro. Then he went backstage to get the new MBP and he held it with one hand to show it while everyone were applauding.
It was the same silver aluminum as the current MacBooks but it was very thick, at least 5 times thicker than a rMBP. I thought it was attached to a dock because the bottom part was bigger and wider than the upper part with a line going through the middle. It had a tapered design, just like the MBA. I remember I was kind of disappointed because I wanted it to be thinner and have a sleeker design.
Somehow I was standing there at the event and watching this from behind, in the audience (not on live stream) but I didn't think much about it. Tim passed the MBP on to the audience and then I saw a big, round power button with the standby symbol on it. The button was very big. It was placed in the top right corner of the trackpad covering up a big part of it. The first guy who got to see it pressed the button and the screen turned on. He then passed the MBP to the next guy and then I started to see fire coming from the keyboard but no one seemed to notice or care about it. The fire caught up and it started to burn a lot.
Someone put the MBP on the ground and then I looked at it from a closer view. I saw the fire was just burning a tape that was holding a cardboard like material in place. The fire stopped and someone took out the cardboard and suddenly there was a very big hole in the place of the keyboard and trackpad. In fact the whole MacBook was now a very large screen attached to a big empty box. It was so large I think it was close to a 40 inch TV in size and the box was at least 30 cm deep. I thought the screen was very bad quality, it looked like it had uneven backlighting (it was colored bright blue) but I remember I was thinking it had to be a 5k screen.
Then Tim came down in person and showed that the hardware was just a very thin part in the bottom of the box. The components were all colored in black. Then I started thinking why it was so big and why most of it was empty space and I wanted to ask but I just woke up and I was suddenly lying in bed staring at nothing and thinking about the madness I was dreaming about.
Maybe I've waited for too long...

I want a thinner, lower weight, space-grey , kind of bezel-free rMBP 13". And as a bonus: keyboard of RMB, fingerscanner, lots of USB-C / TB3, USB, SD-Card Reader connections.
Seriously almost at 300 guys. Hoping for something like: "Thank you all for coming. We have one more thing for you macrumors' users, reaching the 300th page is a milestone and we want to give you a reward. THE NEW MACBOOK PRO!"
If you people had to bet some hard cash regarding the skylake MBPs (at least the 13) announced or not, what would it be ?
I for sure hope it comes out, but if I had to bet, would be a no right now ...
Please make sure I LOSE Timmy !

Some product detail pages say "we can't wait" message, but other times it isn't until you try to "buy" it. I wonder if this is inconsistency or a hint as to which products are being updated. For example, it with the iPads, I can get product details on all but 2 iPads (iPad Air and iPad mini 2). Those 2 just go directly to the "we can't wait" message.
iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s as well. Accessories (under Mac & iPhone) as well?
This could be it.
Macbooks still remain the same though.

I just went to apple.com and there clicked on the announcement of the event. it took me to a page advertising the live stream and gave me the option to add the event to my calender, which I did. It really IS 2 hours long event. There MUST be more than what has been announced.
Wow, 300 pages and still nothing from Apple. What's the over/under on hitting 500 before an actual Skylake release happens?

Not a bad shout, mate.
I'm quite hopefully, and excited either way... it's been a while since we've had this buzz, lets hope they don't let us down.
I tried to open iphones ipads macs i enter the first page but when ever u press buy on any product i get the same msg
.... Till the last moment they r playing with our minds and dreams
Come on guys, I know we're all desperate, but when the store is down it's down across all products. Even accessories, so lets not get too hung up on that.
