Well I got tired of waiting and just got the 15/2.5/16/512 at Best Buy.

So now I have 30 days to price match or get a different one after WWDC just in case.

They price matched B&H and gave me $300 off.

I am happy

Do you happen to have the link for the one they price matched? I see it for 2289 on B&H. 2199 would be even better.

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I just found it! Actually I think the graphics card is the difference.

I caved and bought a 2011 thinkpad on ebay.

Threw in an SSD, 16GB ram, hitachi hdd.
Replaced the screen with an alienware m14x screen.

All i need right now is something to write on, and its keyboard is legendary. Stolen from the gods.

But im still getting a MBP for everything else - content consumption and creation. Audio/video/image editing and all that.

Then I've got a desktop pc for gaming.

I'm all set lads.


EDIT: yes it was a drunk buy. The impulse to buy a macbook has translated into the urge to throw money at any laptop shaped thing. This is too long to wait to buy something, **** me.

Which is why they could include both.

Unless new MBP is vee-ery thin.

Then people will complain because they don't have enough X type ports, and they should be all Y types (of course the type that everyone on his own wants), or will complain because of that USB A port they didn't make a complete redesign, and instead they just added USB C's and Skylake.

Conclusion: you can't please everybody, people will always find something to complain about.

You guys are all saying that you'll back out if nothing is announced, but we all know we'll just all hop onto the "Waiting for Kabylake MBP thread" ;)

I think we should directly jump onto the "Waiting for Cannonlake MBP thread". That's what Cannonlake has, it's so great that it skips Kabylake :D
 
For the first few weeks i'll leave it clean.
I already have sick pile of stickers waiting to be stuck hahaha

Also gonna get this:

I can really recommend this for all the power users making that iGPU/dGPU work for its money. Amazing protection and because it stands on little rubber stops, air flows under the laptop.

Oppenheim would have a heart attack seeing this

This case... It's like Emily Ratajkowski wearing a burka
 
That Serban guy will just say things change, like he said in a post a little while back. He's a troll and obviously looking for attention.

The blame should go to the gullible who actually believed a word that he said. They fed him what he wanted and now those people are left deflated.

With all that said I am very happy I bought the XPS 15, awesome product. Another 4-6 months away for a new Mac? Good luck with that. Peace.

Good riddance!
 
To be completely fair, I'm not quite sure I believe what Ming Chi Kuo has to say either. Rumors aren't always true, and Ming might be completely wrong. Remember, Apple said at their earnings call that they expected Mac sales would pick up in June, and I can't believe they would leave their products stale for back to school.
 
Not gonna lie, gimmicky or not, those features sound pretty cool :D It's something actually different for once and that's interesting.

Q4 though...oof...don't know if I can handle several more months of having only an iPad as my mobile computer.
 
Honestly, I don't think I'd want an OLED touch bar above the keyboard in lieu of actual, physical function keys. That would ruin the whole thing for me. It's rather gimmicky and it be far less optimal IMO.

It's also why the rumor seems "off" to me somehow. I don't know how to explain it.
Very gimmicky. I thought these were supposed to be pro machines, not toys.

Q4 or not I hope we know by WWDC what Apple will be doing
 
So we will reach page 1000 by q4. Nice...will be a real mega thread. It will be historic.
 
Guys, FISCAL 4Q. Not calander 4th quarter. Still later (July-Sept) but not Oct-Dec.

Or atleast I hope so. I dont have sources :(
