Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

If they announce a display, there have to be computers to go along with it that can power it (since that display-with-GPU idea was completely discredited).
Just noticed though that we've not seen any stock shortages or ship time increases on any of the MBP models... ugh.
I'm wondering, is there another place on the internet where people like us are waiting for the new MacBook Pro, or are we the only community where everybody comes to?

And Twitter? Wonder if they'll do tweet collecting like previously

It will be a USB-C display, combined with the immediate discontinuation of every Mac except the MacBook
In all seriousness though, if they did launch a USB-C display I'd probably buy that and a rMB. A large reason I'm waiting for the Pro is that I love my current TBD and don't want to replace it with a different monitor. If I could have a rMB and a compatible Apple monitor, I would seriously consider it. Since I now carry my laptop every day as opposed to maybe once a week five years ago, I value portability much more greatly than when I last bought a laptop.
I agree, plenty of people will just think "I need a new laptop, ooh maybe a mac". they would probably go as far as seeing 2.x GHz vs 2.x from another machine and maybe i5 vs i7, but I doubt they would understand Haswell vs Broadwell vs Skylake etc. Even a good proportion of "pros" (people focused more on design, photography etc, rather than computing), probably wouldn't think of the difference.
These things matter to us, but we're just a drop in the Apple ocean.
Anyway. only a few hours to go....
They don't have a traditional forum, just comments on articles so it makes it difficult to have 'discussions' on upcoming products.
I've been lurking around page 450, with the occasional post. I just found out I have an interview at 11 AM PST so I will be unable to watch the event. I already have a maxed out 2015 13" in my cart on the education site just in case they don't announce it today. I need a new laptop for college and for music production!
They do have a community, but I really don't like their website. Am I the only one? It's too cluttered...
OT: 1 and a half hour to go!
He's far too busy lining up all the revolutionary watch bands. Each one woven from individual strands of the aurora borealis
Well, so you should
"threw yourself down into the unknown depths below..."
or maybe an ARG.
Could you imagine, if Apple release the new MBP through an ARG?!

... if you can make a watch band out of the interaction between solar storms and the earth's magnetic field, i'll buy that s*** RIGHT quick.
On a pop music forum I frequent there is a strangely similar thread about Britney Spears' new album which is almost certainly coming. I howled when someone there used the phrase "well respected insider".

Yeah. And the bands contain the tears of weeping MacRumors visitors.
I don't think so. I think the iGPU in the 15'' is worse than the one in the 13'' at the moment.
I'd stay away from that.
As far as I'm concerned, if no Mac's are presented today I'm really divided between going for the top 15'' or going for a Dell XPS.
I don't care that much for the new CPU's and all, I'm just waiting because I wanted a little more oomph out of the GPU side of the Mac. I know Mac's are not designed for gaming but I would like to be able to do the ocasional game of CSGO/League of Legends, at 60+ fps on max settings. Don't really know if the R9 M370X can work with that.
The Macbook Pro 15" of 2015 can easily drive it at Full HD with 120 fps over an external Display. Even 4k with 20-30 fps is possible. ;-)
If real life is like the Michael Fassbender Steve Jobs movie, he'll be reading it whilst having some furious snappy debate with a beleaguered underling.
