Wow. Was going to upgrade my 2015 rmb, but I think I may hold out even longer now if Apple fail to deliver a nice 13" refresh at WWDC.
Nah, I'll just rob one of you guys.
If it still runs Windows, I wouldn't care if it rolled over and played dead. Not interested. I like my UNIX based OS, thank you very much.
Yep, the money is burning a hole in my pocket right now. I really hope the Q4 rumours aren't true!
Have you EVER even seen the new Asus Zenbook let alone used one?
Because you have made an awful lot of assumptions and opinions there!
Better speakers?
Better keyboard?
Better build?
Better screen?
Better design?
Better battery?
Better trackpad?
Better heat and noise?
You know all this how exactly???
The ONLY thing I currently believe you got right on your list was the better resale value of the MacBook.
You're talking to Serban. He obviously has prototypes of every laptop that will be released this year.
Correctly believe it or not. Better You can try it yourself
I'm just thinking, could the picture of the black keyboard potentially be the 13" variant of the rMB? I mean now that Asus are launching 7th gen kaby lake core M, could this be the rMB 13"?
If it's true, it would suck to be a 2016 rMB owner right now I guess.

Are they serious? 267 vs 275 ppi ![:rolleyes:]( "Roll Eyes :rolleyes:")

Yea but that is how apple make money. They did with the ipad pro, they launch first the 12.9" and after the normal one
Regardless of what Apple has done in the past, they really need to deliver at WWDC as Asus has launched some compelling products nonetheless.
hahaha ooohhh I'm not worthy!!! He hasn't got anything! just lots of 'opinions'.
Really ? Try it out, but with a macbook beside it to see in real life comparation and than come here and make me a liar. Test and then talk
[doublepost=1464613875][/doublepost]I can very easy to shut up but i post here my opinions on real life work flow to help others to know what they are getting from a device that are willing to buy

With an i5/i7, I'd be surprised if the zenbook 3 can fend off heat, noise and battery life woes like the (fanless) rMB can.
But you do have to give these things a try. Maybe ASUS will wow us with an ace up their sleeve.

Based on what? I love rMB screens but I think that you're a bit confused about that.
rMB 13" -> 227 ppi (Real resolution: 2,560 x 1,600)
zenbook 3 12.6" -> 275 ppi (Real resolution: 2,880 x 1,920)
Just to be clear, zeenbook 3 has a better panel resolution than the rMB 15.
The keyboard looks more like the current Macbook Pro/Air Keyboard that the Macbook to me. The Macbook keys aren't raised up at all.
If its a modified current model its a Pro or Air.
rMB has 1440p on a 12" screen so 226 ppi
zenbook 3 has 1080p into a 12.5" so 176.23 ppi

It's definitely not a current-generation Pro or Air. Neither of those devices use the San Francisco font on the keyboard (while this does), and the keyboard spacing and clear lack of travel means that it's definitely a MacBook, if it is indeed a modified current generation device. I'm hoping it's the 2016 MBP, as that would suggest it's finally being announced at WWDC.
