Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

The Zenbook does look good. I'm impressed they actually took the initiative to make a better screen. I'm not really shocked, Apple could have made the MacBook better than it is, or at least more powerful but they opted not to. I expect a major processor bump for next year.
I see the man in this gif is using a Thinkpad T400 series laptop.
They're built like tanks - very good choice for a chaotic home life.
If Apple announces a black Macbook at the WWDC, then this is definitely a controlled leak. No way that this guy would give up his early access to Apple products for a random unclear Twitter photo.
meanwhile
better screen? how so?

Woah, Kaby Lake. Who would've thought. Apple skipping Skylake?
Fake, impossible for a computer with different RAM amounts to have literally exactly same performance score, especially memory performance. Heck, even the same machine with the same components might have slightly different score within some time
Easy: It's not about thinner, but about what they did in the same size. Asus managed to put an i7 in the same form factor Apple did put a tablet processor that throttles. Not to talk about memory and disk speeds. Asus laptop looks something decent to work with, not great but OK, while rMB is made for consuming contents at gold price tag (without even a dongle included). This said, I wouldn't buy any of them, I prefer something portable and with more ports like MBA, or just jumping to MBP which isn't precisely a brick.
And as much as i wanted to believe Serban all that time, posting this kind of fake stuff made him lose all his credibiilty i think.
like i said, i think Apple could put an i7 into the macbook. But the sleek ultrabook Macbook from apple perspective are for low to medium workflow users. So why put an i 7 that gets your laptop hotter and noise with lower screen quality?
Apple makes the best compromises. If you want an i7 for heavy work you dont buy a sleek ultrabook

i post from this site https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com
i never said i made them. but again you can throw garbage on me.
[doublepost=1464620107][/doublepost]i already said to you all until June 3 im out from any mac projects. But i think for my good sake i will shut up from now on with any news i heard
As a guy who claim to have access to prototypes why would you do it? One moment you say there are things you cant reveal for obvious reasons and another moment you post fake images from some random sites, which if would be real would reveal many things you didnt want to talk about. Doesnt make sense
man why is everyone thrashing @Serban whenever he posts something. Its better to get some new relevant "rumors" (even if they are BS), than just read unrealistic comments and whining about USB-A's, 12-core xeons in macbooks, the importance of backlight apple logos and similar stuff 
those are desktop class cpu, so not for macbook pro, i thought it is for mac mini or imac....but hey i just wanted to share something, my bad
i don't think they have ever used a desktop class cpu for the mac mini (QM or HQ is the highest class that i can remember, mobile cpus anyway)
the only way to put a K series cpu in a chassis like the Mac mini one would be using something similar to a an AIO liquid cpu cooling, apple have some exp in using liquid cooling, since the last G5 powermac, and a mac mini with a desktop class cpu would be awesome but impossible to me, and not only for the cpu's TDP
There are multiple errors in your post, but most importantly, the Zenbook 3 has a 1080p screen, and not a 2880 x 1920. So your ppi measurements (for which you measured against the 13" MacBook Pro instead of the retina MacBook) are wrong.
Would love a Mac Mini with desktop class CPU and dGPU so it could run 4K at 60 Hz (the latter is the most important factor to me). I would so get a Mac Mini if that happened.
Mac mini with K series cpu + TB3 and support for external GPU. can't innovate anymore my clASS.
edit:
OhOhOhOh wait.
ONE MORE THING,
do you remember those three dots in the ipadpro?
well you can use the smart connector to use your iPad pro as a display, and that's why we are not introducing a macbook pro this year. *13000mah battery pack sold separately

Gut laughing at this 'grubby' hands on.
Keep your disgusting Suckbook Wannabe 3 - I'll take my self-cleaning Wolverine-bone adimantium Macbook over this ****-the-bed laptop any day.
Disgusting... I bet everyone who touched it left the conference that day with whooping cough.
I do solemnly wait for my rMBP...
...yet still Steve Jobs continues to pound at the coffin lid, as he screams from deep within the grave.
Suddenly, a fist bursts through the wood.
A restless mound of earth rises at the headstone as Steve Jobs climbs; back from the dead with ideas and innovation gleamed from the world beyond the grave. An otherworldly traveler, he crawls with teeth grinding splinters and dirt.
Ever rising, rising,
RISING from the grave!
At the surface, Fiscal Q3 2016 air fills his putrefied lungs. The pulse of the world's design and innovation hub calls to him - Apple Headquarters. He turns his creaking body South-West and like King Odysseus before him, begins a vengeful lurch towards his sacked home.
I have a feeling WWDC will have a bigger reveal than we've ever hoped. Watch out Tim Cook, the past is catching up on you
In the meantime, hold the line gentlemen! Hold the line for WWDC!
Pro Users! Look to the Skylake as bravely we cry:
"One More Thing!"
"One More Thing!"
But look at the identifier......
Mac mini8,1!!!
How can this be? Is there a hackintosh out there using 8,1 identifier? The 2014 one is 7,1.
Or it is photoshopped....
step 1) you post without commenting
step 2) you reveal the source, not yours
step 3) you comment on it saying "it's probably fake"
i don't know if your record is based on real facts or it's just cleverly made up to look plausible, but:
- if you want to give out information, that's not a clever way to do it.
- if you want to build credibility, that's also not a clever way to do it.
