In addition, there are no rumors or leaks -.- Hard to be patient
Well that's unfortunately not true. Mac mini was perfectly capable of having exchangeable HD and RAM back in 2012, the form factor hasn't changed, the innards don't take more space, just the hatch at the bottom of the mini was soldered shut and even IF you manage to open it, the RAM is soldered onto the board as well.
the Dell XPS for example offers full user upgradeability with the removal of only a few STANDARD screws.
That "soldered on and non user-upgradeable" **** is not as common as you might think, only in the thinnest of ultra-books it is, because of form factor. And yes that said I do get it with a Macbook (to a point) but Mac mini? Macbook Pro? You can even open and tinker around in your Razer if you want to...
With the replacement of the fn key's with OLED bar, I wonder how it will feel productivity wise. When I am using some of my programming tools I use a lot of the 'F' keys to do things like execute code etc, just hoping it doesn't feel too odd to go from typing on keyboard then having to press the OLED bar intermittently..
What ? Wait ! I think there were some rumors on macrumors.com, 9to5Mac.com and the verge of a slimmer rMBP coming later this year. Do you want me to provide you links ?

That's a joke, look at the iPhone, nearly every week there are new leaks.
This is what drives me mad.
We haven't had much leaks previously as well but updates were regular enough for us to always have a device which is either has just been launched or to be sure there will be a device in 2-4 months. I was not in a situation where time for upgrade came and there is no new enough device to actually upgrade.
Now such times started.
Thats how the rumors and leaks work, nobody can say that 100% confidently with their hand on their heart because even they are getting this rumored information from Suppliers who supply different parts to assemble Apple Products. What do you expect Apple to endorse all these rumors ?
It means, that the last time the laptop/desktop computer was updated with newer spec, is soooo long ago, that the current specs are listed in the bible.
Old Testament or new?The bible of Apple religion
The only things in the New Testament of Apple are Apple Watch bands.
The bible of Apple religion
Yeah Apple is the greatest religion we all follow...Heck this is called the Apple Cult !

Just realized the only people who can probably relate to us in this thread are Blackberry Power users who are still waiting for a proper Android BB-phone with a real keyboard...
I wonder if they'll get an OLED strip on their keyboard

I'm settling in for the long haul.
Last week I transplanted my MBP 3,1 SSD into my wife's old MBP 4,1 early 2008) that had a dead HDD.
Now, I just ordered 6gb ram (a 2gb dimm died) from OWC for $100, 1tb SSD for $315, new battery for $89, and new charging cord for $90. Even if I end up getting a new laptop later this year, the SSD will still be useful.
I use Terminal.app, SSH (Escape key!), Windows software, and the Function keys generally frequently. I really don't think I'll be upgrading if the Esc/Function keys disappear as pressable buttons.

That's what I thought too... sad part is 128GB goes really quickly when you install things like Office and Photoshop. 256 is really the sweet spot for the 13" rMBP.
A dark, dark place.
"The night is dark and full of terrors" - Mac Pro thread
The XPS 15, 21.5 iMac, and the way they updated the Mac Mini(Soldered the RAM even though there was no redesign.) leads me to believe that Apple would've eventually soldered the RAM even if the rMBP was still as thick as the old cMBP.
