You 201X folks don't know how good you have it. Late 2008 unibody here. Trackpad only works in certain corners and the fans put out a solid 70dbA at full spin... which means I really need this Serban fellow to not be a joker. Not holding my breath.

LOL, Edited for clarity:
I didn't mean for this to be a joke, my MBP is literally non-functional:oops:

Okay fine, I didn't need my 2015 either. My wife needed a new laptop so I took the only logical step and spent twice as much as needed to buy myself the newest MacBook and pass mine on to her. But I do NEED the 2016 MacBook Pro.

Ok... now you've lost me there buddy. Not really sure I'm following your rhetoric. Are you joking or just being a dick? If it's the latter, totally uncalled for.

If your getting caught up on the word "need" in this context then you're just playing a game of semantics.

No need to get your panties in a bunch, especially in this thread. I own a 2015 MacBook Pro because I handed down my 2013 to my wife. Simple as that. Sheesh StandardFlint is it so hard to believe there's someone out there's who can stand to be my wife? :p
 
Oookkkkk, now I get it. Like I said, I couldn't tell if you were joking or making fun of me for needing to replace my broken laptop with another Mac (for Xcode and Logic).

I really must be tired after finals week, ignore me being an idiot:confused:

No worries, that's the internet of things. Great for information but it can be hard to gauge people's tone.

Instead I'm working on my Keynote hangover.

Nah gotta be sober in case P Schiller has the ballZ to announce the nMBP ships that day. Can't be off ur game when selecting 16 GB vs 32 GB RAM ;) Predict an early sell out with all this pent up nerd demand.

iPhone 6 preorder formation, gotta have Apple pay setup in the Apple Store App logged in, iPhone plugged in of course, Firefox on auto reload every 10 seconds, multiple WAN for redundancy, should be fun.

Mobile Gaming, Mobile Video Editing,
2. And yea those settings are not fun, but those are really intense games.
And compared to what?? say a 970M?
which plays at 1366x768 with settings set to medium.
Tomb Raider also at medium
Where did you get these results? http://www.notebookcheck.net/MSI-PE60-6QE-Prestige-iBuyPower-Edition-Notebook-Review.165151.0.htmlj 960m get 30fps on high in rise of tomb rider and 970m is much faster.
970m http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-970M.126694.0.html 1920x1080 ultra >30fps in The Division, Rise of Tomb Raider, Far Cry Primal. You probably misspell while writing :)
 
@Serban the current mbp has three glowing parts of it. Is that number going to go down?
LOL.. you are talking to man like to Siri

List of games that have been tested with the Intel 6770. Pretty pumped if the MBP gets this CPU.

https://gameplay.intel.com/HardwareGames/93341/Intel® Core™ i7-6770HQ Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz

Are you sure they have been tested? seems like there is a list of games optimized for calculated graphics power.
Not familiar with World of Tanks game and its demand, but from the video it can't handle smooth fps rate.

It looks like in fullHD with everything maxed out they are averaging between 15 and 20 FPS.
 
Long live the dGPU.
Really?

Medium 1080p, GTX 850M. Only 30 FPS on average. If they would use max settings they also would get between 15 and 20 FPS. Long live dGPUs?

P.S. Im not saying they are completely not needed. However for everything up to GM107 there is no point in using dGPUs. They will not bring any benefit. Other thing is going beyond that.
