Just release something new for Pete sake. I'm so sick of this bs that I'm on a resort in the Caribbean agitated because WHAT THE HECK!?
Sorry. I am drunk.

Enjoy the scorching sun. We have two seasons:
Burning spring (January - June)
Hell on Earth (July - December)
But hey, you can save money on propane gas/electricity and fry your eggs right there on your balcony.
I was at the Apple Store today and I paid the most attention to the 12" MacBook. While it certainly wasn't the first time I've seen it, I looked at it with a far more open mind this time, and I have to say that I am really impressed with it (finally). The build quality feels superb despite the fact that it is now approaching the thinness of a tin can, and it feels super sleek when you shut the lid and pick it up. It just oozes stylishness and quality, and that mirrored Apple logo looks really sharp. Also, that all metal hinge is just to die for. It makes the black plastic clutch cover on the current MBP look like an unrefined, unattractive eyesore.
The keyboard looks much more refined with the individual LED's, and with less space between each key and the aluminum cut out, it just seems like a more advanced step up. I know that people hate the typing experience, but I think I found out the trick to make it palatable. If you just lightly press each key and use less force, it works fabulously and each key feels a lot more stable. You do have to alter your typing experience because applying the same amount of force will cause the key to bottom out and give you harshness and resistance. It's definitely different, but it's not as much of a dealbreaker as I thought. Just don't try and fight the shallow key travel...embrace it and I think it'll be a better experience for a lot of people.
Overall, I must say that if Apple is going to take the same design language and engineering smarts to the next MBP, we should all be very satisfied when they deign to release it to us, I hope. Coming home to type this on my 2011 15" MBP is just a huge, huge step down. I feel like a technological caveman on this thing. What a difference a half a decade makes. I need to modernize ASAP.

The calm before the storm guys, that's happening right now. Anybody hear that, more watch bands you say Timmy? YESSSSSSS
I had a 13" 2012 model and it always seemed like it could've benefited from a quad-core processor and dGPU. I'll be getting a 15" this time.
How can you guys be calm, though? I'm FREAKING OUT!!!
There better be a new MBP on Monday or I might just lose it

I actually may lose it too if nothing comes out, and so will the rest of us.I had a 13" 2012 model and it always seemed like it could've benefited from a quad-core processor and dGPU. I'll be getting a 15" this time.

Does everyone like the new force touch trackpad? I feel it needs a bit more oomph in terms of making it feel like a real click. It doesn't simulate the feeling of resistance that the old one gives well enough for me. I hope they make it better for this year's rMBP
Been thinking about that...pre order to get it as soon as possible, or wait a while and get it at powermax and save on the sales tax...decisions.
I am ready to be dissapointed
All of the above of course.
Hello big idea= MBP ?
[doublepost=1465703162][/doublepost]
You won't be disappointed!
Why the Change? The 13 inch is pretty legit but the 15 inch gives you a lot more room to work.
Someone on the "The next MacBook Pro redesign thread" said an Apple technician confirmed new rMBP at WWDC, is it a troll or an angel sent from the heavens?
I'm pretty sure each of those lines reference apps, rather than new things at the conference.
