From what I remember of past performance we will see a price drop a couple of weeks before the new ones come out.
Got a tip for us?

No chance they do anything to the Air that people actually want. An Air with Skylake, beautiful screen, up to date ports; give me one reason anyone would ever buy a Macbook. The lovely new thin keyboard? The single port?
MBA might limp along for another year or so but at most it will get a small processor bump. Give them what they don't know they want.....

People in my area are selling the macbook pro retina 128gb for like $700 should I wait until all the huge announcements on Monday before I buy?
Mmm.. Slow loading on the buy page and a 2 week delivery for CTO (changed storage on the base model) in the UK. I'm getting the itch...
For a new MBP!! In all seriousness, I bought my 2012 15" rMBP just after launch and there was the same conflicting rumours until a couple of days before. Although it's running just like new, I wouldn't mind trying out a 13" and see if I can adapt to a small display.
I'm pretty sure there is a cream or ointment for that.
You don't think it would be smart to just have the promotion for the older macs and pre orders for the new systems starting july? New systems don't get the promotional deals. Seems like a good business strategy to me to get rid of some old stock
Anyone see this?

Rumour says 1-1.25tflops for a 40W chip. That seems kind of low? Especially as Iris Pro 580 is expected to have 1.1tflops sharing a 45W TDP with the CPU. Hoping they are guessing and way out with the estimate as that would barely be an improvement on what is there now.

Cool, 11 hours without checking this thread and there are 5 pages more with a lot of contradicting rumors.
I want to believe in the MBP at WWDC.
Make it happen, Apple.
Yay! This thread is right now the most viewed and biggest on MacRumors!
Can't wait to see it getting even bigger and crazy during WWDC!

Yup. Definitely.
offtopic: is this thread the most viewed on MR? almost 2.000.000
make a guess how much it is when the MBP is finally revealed

Honestly, checking this thread has become a habit now.... If they announce new laptops I'll be happy because I need/want one, but at the same time I'll miss checking here everyday

I have it as my (only) pinned tab in Safari - never used the feature before this thread!
A (admittedly very small) part of me hopes there is another few months left of this thread as it is often quite hilarious. Though the insanity may start to set in by then (hasn't it already..?) and we'll have to change it to the 'Waiting for Skylake MBP Asylum'...
At wait to check this thread on my brand-new 15" Kaby Lake rMPB attached to a Thunderbolt Display with built-in graphics card.Honestly, checking this thread has become a habit now....

I hope you are right. Do you have a solid spec for Polaris 11? I can't find anything.

Hey look on the bright side, we might have 4 more months of this thread!
There is zero reason for Apple to keep the MacBook Air name for updated Airs. They'll simply be called "MacBooks" and will therefore just be larger sizes of the 12" MacBook with upgraded specs and other small differences. It just makes sense. So we'll soon have 12", 13" and maybe 15" MacBooks and the older MacBook Airs will become the cheapies.
Dear God, let there be a revival of the "one more thing" at the end of this year's WWDC. I won't care if they spend an hour talking about watch bands if they end with a "one more thing" announcement of new MBPs...I don't even care if they're released right away. I just need verification via an announcement. I need closure.
PLEEEEASSEEEE!
PLEEEEASSEEEE!
You forgot to say Amen. You should say, in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. at the end to finish off a prayer. Don't you want it to come true?
Dear God of Apple, please resurrect the MBP like you did the Mac Mini...never mind..the Mac Pro...err, wait...the MacBook Air...? Goddamn. Please, just resurrect the MBP. Period. In Steve's name we pray. Amen.
If no pros are released at wwdc this thread simply won't make it to whenever the refresh is supposed to be. Everyone used to be super chill and cordial, now you got people claiming to be insiders, people getting ansy over every little thing, ban hammers dropping left and right. You would think after all these pages we would stop arguing about dGPU , usb-c ports and "what about kaby lake?" but nope the only thing that changes are the page numbers and the participants.
If they are announced, expect 300 pages of jubilation and brotherhood.
