Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[Muizon]

I have a space grey 2016 Mbp here on my desk. Not only does the Apple logo still glow, if you press the new key (next to the power button key), it flashes different colors. If you press the option key and the new key, it ejects a tiny little apple-shaped disco ball.

Is the disco ball illuminated?

No but they will introduce that in the next version, it'll be revolutionary.

Is the disco ball illuminated?

Only in 1 of the 3 different disco ball prototypes.

I searched all your posts but can't seem to find the answer.
Does anyone remember what he said about it or could you kindly repeat it?
Thx!

i cant send you private mss...

What would you guys think of an Apple logo that's illuminated around the edges and metal in the center? Just a thought.

One Word:

SEXY

I quite like the idea of being able to switch the light on the logo on/off.

I'll be getting a silver one.

I really think 3.5mm should be optional. I'll be very disappointed if the music folks get to impose their traditions on us.

Do you guys think there is any chance the new rMBPs will retain the hdmi port?

You can already do this. It just happens to also turn the display off

Great point!

Wow! What a great idea! This sounds gorgeous.

I kinda hope so. I know you could do USB or thunderbolt to HDMI, but HDMI is more convenient.

Although I hope they keep HDMI, they probably won't.

I'm getting a bit impatient now I know there is not long to wait but have been considering other options such as a rmb for Web browsing and either an imac or Mac mini and a display for more hardcore work. If the mac mini gets updated at wwdc what chips is it rumoured to have. Would it be more powerful than a redesigned mbp?

Get some chrome vinyl, make the logo a tad smaller than the glowing logo, attach it onto the glowing logo so it leaves the edge glowing. Done!
I'd pimp your MBP this way for a friendly fee of 25 bucks!
Hehehe.

I think we are going to be seeing both a nMP and nMBP at WWDC 2016. That would be quite a release if Apple does it!

HDMI? You've missed the whole point of USB-C, right? Folks have been at this for years. And here you are looking for last-minute changes because of the way your brain has developed over the years. Never mind that this road has been well travelled and lots of money invested in USB-C. You'll thank them for it. You probably won't even notice or care. At which point the product/engineering team can pat themselves on the back, put their feet up and have a hot whiskey.

Even if it will not happen at WWDC, it will happen later on, based on productions from Intel chips !
100% will happen this year.

If the past few years is any indication, Intel chips mean 100% nothing.

I love it! Only 33 more days guys.

Man, the desperation in this thread is reaching epic proportions. So much so that I think someone can come on here and pretend to have inside knowledge and people would gobble it right up. Hmmm.

According to other people he has been known to have accurate predictions on previous releases on this forum. He's not just a random new account.

Guys when the new MBPs come out are you going to get 8 or 16 gb ram? I want this to last a while but its an extra $200 to get the 16 gb (assuming prices are the same for the new mbps). Is it worth it?

 

[cmChimera]

Nope, haven't done that.

Folks have been at this for years. And here you are looking for last-minute changes because of the way your brain has developed over the years.

I already stated that I knew USB or thunderbolt could serve the same purpose. I simply said HDMI was more convenient since I wouldn't need anything extra to hook up to HDMI devices so long as there was an, extremely common, HDMI cable around.
