Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

My guess is there will be at least an up to date display (not resolution, quality) and better speakers (the current MBP ones are really bad). Also maybe a bit of weight reduction. If Apple is feeling bold, they will add the butterfly keyboard design. Design will probably only be slightly tweaked
Haven't you heard?
The redesigned Pro will have a 4K detachable touchscreen, the very latest Polaris GPU, touch-ID, Xeon CPU and watercooling.
The 13" will of course come with quad cores and include an external GPU.
Both models come bundled with Apples top secret VR goggles.
Don't stop believing.
Correcting someone and telling someone to stop posting are two very different things. It's okay, you're not the only one who lacks common sense.
[doublepost=1462718230][/doublepost]I will say whatever I want within the rules. No profanity or hate. With that said, that man was not simply correcting, he was belittling.
Every single one of you know I am right, but you can't side with the new guy. God forbid we all act like adults.
Any clues about next generation after skylake? I have a feeling that Apple is going to skip this generation as well.
What you posted was factually incorrect. Also you posted it in a manner that might have started a flame (i. e. you've not only stated a false fact but also projected consequences as if this fact has been true). And being members of this thread for quite a while we all know for sure your misinformation has been spit before and quite recently, you're not the first (and not even the second).
So let's count.
You've shown disrespect to the community stating the false fact without checking your information first.
You've flooded the thread.
You've been spotted in a flame-like behaviour.
And you've done it even though recently it has been shown your words are false. I hope you've done it unintentionally.
Moreover instead of thanking the person who provided you the info you started arguing.
@Exile714 response was proportionate and right. You should've agreed with you being at fault, read the info graciously provided and return to the community as a useful member. You've started arguing being in the wrong. No one refused your right to post forever. Everyone was just trying to prevent flood, flame and false facts.
Other people sided with the right side.
I hope now you will change your behaviour. Not because I or anyone say you so, I have no authority over you. But because this is the right thing to do.
P. S. Look at me. I was wrong no earlier than previous page. Instead of saying "I say what I want" I've just said "My bad!".

You can't be serious? Starting a flame?! Flooding?! You either have the wrong person or you're insane. Check my post history...
[doublepost=1462720045][/doublepost]Oh and change my behavior? LMAO!!
So minding my business and posting my thoughts are a problem? Or is it defending myself from an insecure weirdo who attacked me for no reason?
This place is ridiculous. Mods, please close my account. Thank you.
That is so sad, scary in that I have been wondering the same thing and I need a new MBP NOW! and will not buy last yrs( outdated when it was released) refresh.
You understand that what happens now is flame and it has been started by your initial post and then your inappropriate reaction to @Exile714 informative response?
Stop being drama queen. Man the **** up and admit you were wrong.
P. S. My account is just 3 months older than yours. Tell me more about not siding with a new guy.
This unfortunate lag between refreshes sure would make somebody skeptical all around, no doubt, but it seems like it'd be especially 'surprising' if we didn't get something at next month's WWDC.
I'm with you! I think I have spent enough on Crown Royal Res. to buy a new MBP since we started waiting for this Unicorn
If they go dual, then they have to drop the price. Not gonna happen.
I agree with you and have said the same thing at least twenty times on this thread.
Yeah, we get that. But TB3 is a pretty big deal as it's going to be the number one port for the foreseeable future. I'd rather the laptop I buy today have that for the next 4-5 years I own it.

Adults you say lol.
[doublepost=1462721457][/doublepost]
Bye bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Talk about insecure.
The mods are taking in serious consideration your request.
Please wait.
Nothing funny, still waiting.
Pretty good post, but sometimes individuals on these forums do tend to attack and ridicule others repeatedly. I can understand his point of view. We have to understand that no one sees all issues the same as ourselves, and when we read something on here it may come across as an attack even though it was not intended as such.
Well, just to change a lil the recently dynamic of this thread, and coming back to rumors: do you guys think we'll have some tasty rumors (like leacked mockups, parts, etc) before WWDC about MBP's? Or they will be kept secret and surprise us like the Mac Pro did in the WWCD of 2013?
It's pretty sad that close to one month before the event, we still only see news about OS/iOS updates, bands, iPhone 7 being the same as 6S, and so on. The only "rumors" are: MBP's said to have Skylake, better graphics, USB C ports. Really? We've been hearing that the whole last year since MB appeared, so nothing we haven't heard before.

For the people talking about Apple skipping Skylake, please note that Apple skipped Broadwell, but released an updated MacBook Pro anyway. You could argue that Apple should have used Broadwell, but it's not hard to see why they decided to release without it. The improvements for the MacBook Pro would be minimal, and Apple put more effort into increasing SSD speeds and adding a force touch trackpad. The SSD speed increase was significant, and probably a bigger performance boost than Broadwell would have been. That said, they released an updated Pro. They will this year too. The idea that Apple is going to go all of 2016 without releasing a new MBP is laughable. And also, the improvements Skylake brings with it are substantial, and Apple has already begun putting it in their computers. The idea that Apple will just not use it is equally laughable to the idea that they won't release a Pro at all.

Apple will not skip Skylake 100%. They are testing this chips internally for 3 months now
Serban speaks the truth, Apple include Skylake GFX kext since 10.11.4 betas. Again this info precludes skylake-h xeon chips (because the P580 graphics aren't listed).

[doublepost=1462730359][/doublepost]PS: 1 of the 3 prototypes for the 13 and 15" but its almost 99% sure that apple already choose this one since in march we heard they lock the design and chasis and ports
