Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

Since I#ve read about problems installing Windows 7 with Bootcamp in the Windows forum here...could it be possible that the new bootcamp would not allow the installation of Windows 7 in a MBP 2016? That would suck tremendously because it would basically mean I have to buy an older version asap.

Maestri told investors that the company ended the prior quarter with Mac channel inventories below the company's "four-week to five-week target range." The fact that the company managed channel inventory levels so lean (Apple probably could have shipped more Macs during the quarter while still maintaining healthy channel inventory levels) seems to suggest that new Macs will arrive fairly shortly.

something along the lines of him replacing his "still working" 2010 or 2011 15" from what I overheard. I still feel like there should be a warning to people that don't follow tech news.Maestri told investors that the company ended the prior quarter with Mac channel inventories below the company's "four-week to five-week target range."

Let's take a more positive spin for this post:

When the new Pros are eventually released, given the rumoured graphics improvement that put even the base 13" with IGPU at being nearly on par with the dedicated option in the current 15", and then new 15" iGPU being better still, what games are people looking forward to being able to play on the move?

For me it's Cities:Skylines

Cities skylines, Minecraft and some Saints Row IV actually (on lowest settings it's pretty playable).
I might try GTA V for fun, but I don't have much hope haha.
Team Fortress 2 might be an option for me too.
Sims 4 occasionally I think, when I'm really out of options.
 
Just under 800 cycles and at 72% battery health on my 2012 rMBP. Killing me how Apple advertises 80% capacity at 1000 cycles, but doesn't offer any support to actually cover those that don't get that. Can't even get 2 hours on a charge now.

Diablo, WoW, and maybe I'll finally get Steam and explore there.

It's not about gaming for me; but I'm a heavy Photoshop and Lightroom user and I'd hope the dGPU would benefit my photo editing. I've never actually used a MacBook with dGPU before, so I'm looking forward to it.
