The only problem with ignore is that some threads stop making sense (especially because quotes disappear as well).
AFAIK only ~35W TDP is available for the dGPU so both AMD and NVIDIA you've mentioned were configured TDP-down to 35W.
Whoa... and I thought the Mac Pro thread was large
Yup. Thread is way too long for no info, and now a good reason to stop looking at it until June
Of course one has to look at one of the MacMini threads (The new Mac mini is almost certainly coming) speaking of a another long thread
... stop looking at it until June
What!?
No way, this is where it's at, yo!
...or whatever the kids say these days, never was good at talking jive.
as a fellow Italian i may add: basically all presentation rooms i've come across with, in universities, companies and so on, rely on a VGA cable to connect to a projector.
after VGA we had several new standards, but let's face reality, if you want to accomodate every possible user, you'd better stick with the oldest connector/protocol, because there's no such thing as "forward compatibility".
(also, projectors last for years, one cannot be an a$$ and expect the world to upgrade all appliances according to his/her new laptop).
then, everyone i know who regularly holds presentations carries an adapter to vga, no big deal at all.
I get your point, I could just solve everything with an adaptor or two....
But why on earth shouldn't I buy the current mbpro then?
To fight Apple because they sell old hardware for premium price?
As pegamoos was saying, another issue is the compatibility with old VGA projectors. I teach in high school, and believe me, schools have old tech, because there are no money to upgrade.
Would USB-C allow me to connect to old VGA projector cables?
Wow, if that's not possible, I will definitely buy the current model.
But Apple does have a strong refurb store full of old(er) tech. At some point, you would have to expect new Macs to stop supporting VGA.
It could be.
Honestly I don't know for sure, I'm only referring to the TDP quoted by those sites.
I couldn't agree more with you.
There are really still a lot of devices out there using "old" interface, and most of all universities.
Getting rid off them just for the sake of 3 mm thinness, doesn't sound useful to me.
Tried to buy a current model with no luck.
Cant find 13" pro with 16gb memory, which is in stock or will be shipped before May. That is disappointing

Refurb current model with 16gb. Arriving before May
Thanks! If i saw this deal yesterday i would've order it. Wednesday early morning i'm flying to business trip, and looks like this is going to be another trip with old windows laptop.http://www.apple.com/us-hed/shop/pr...-27ghz-dual-core-intel-i5-with-retina-display
Refurb current model with 16gb. Arriving before May
Anyway, thanks !
Wait. I just checked rMBP availability in the Netherlands and the 16 GB model is indeed shipped in May. Does that hint at a refresh (like rMB did) or is it just because so few people buy anything else than the base models?
Why not wait till the new rMBPs come out. Have a look at them and then decide for yourself. Anyways at this point, June isnt too far away. And if you dont like
the new rMBPs, you can get the 2015 ones for cheaper as theyre gonna slash their prices.
Guys I bought a macbook 12" 2015 model today from someone on craigslist. everything seemed to be working fine but then when I got home it was icloud locked, are there any ways to contact the original owner to give them back their laptop?
You are right, but again i wouldnt go with apple world if there is no money. I know i spend in 2 years around 10.000$ and update all my devices, with all news and new tech and new accesories required for my needs.
Again you have to adapt for yor needs and places. But i think there are adapters usb-c to vga?

I think the owner connected to icloud and locked your mac, and maybe did a full erased. When you bought it wasnt a freash install on it?
Shipping times across the MacBook line here in Norway are as follows for base models:
MacBook: 28th of April - 2nd of May
Pro and Air: 28th of April - 6th of May
Don't think that means anything.
Again, it's not just spending a whole bunch of money to upgrade my gear (which anyway I consider irresponsible on many levels, from a money perspective to an environmental perspective... My stuff still works great), but everyone around me (including public institutions) would have to follow as well...!
Labeling this as wishful thinking would be an understatement. I find it hard to buy a computer today (or in june) and not being able to use its full potential for 2-3 years, just because well, the world does not do what Apple wants it to do...
I hope I'm getting my message across... Still debati g what to do, although waiting a bit more seems the most reasonable thing to do.
Less weight thinner better gpu, better battery life, better ports 4k@60 hz, better speakers, better keyboard backlit
