Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

We're like one big group of friends, I feel like we should have an event in real life to show each other our brand new MacBook Pro's! Just think about it, all the people in this thread gathered in one location in the world for a big 'The MBP is released' party. Even Serban can come!
Yah, but it wasn't a redesign
[doublepost=1470988891][/doublepost]Does anyone have a recommendation for a screen cleaner for MBPs and/or a casing cleaner for MBPs? Right now I just use a dab of water on a paper towel to clean the body of my MBP and a cloth to clean my screen. Looking for a better solution. I want it to be shiny again and I want my new Mac to stay shiny.

I'm wondering if the new MBP will have a disc drive or not. (Actually, did the 2015 MBP have one...?) I still buy CD's and blu-rays myself (and live in Japan where they're still going strong!) so it'd be nice to dump them all onto it as I see a laptop as a vacuum of multimedia ****. Then again I see how physical media like CDs are being phased out now so maybe it's just me who wants the 2016 MBP to have a disc drive. 
2012 on mbp lost its drive. Just wirelessly transfer the library's from one device to another.I'm wondering if the new MBP will have a disc drive or not. (Actually, did the 2015 MBP have one...?)

Are you on the island where WW2 is still going on?
Maybe Tim and Co are looking to commemorate the three-year anniversary of this thread by releasing the new Pros on October 26th.
Well, I really hope so. It's called MB PRO! Not MB Games. Get a hold of yourself.
Nobody in his right mind has actually got time for games.

Id imagine this would be different for everybody. Future proof to me is making it to my next laptop purchase without hardware/software limitations with everything i throw at it. I buy a computer once every 5 years or so.To all you guys trying to buy insurance against innovation
What do they mean "future proof"? Does it 'magically' install better hardware inside of itself, when updates become available?
Maybe not in the right, but in my left mind I have lot of time for them.
(by the way: it's you again, Oppenheim?)
I'm pretty sure it was an Apple Exec like Cue or Schiller who said that in an interview with John Gruber around WWDC 2016 but I'm not 100%

John Gruber (ios10 autocorrect changed that to Grindr... Freudian slip?). He's like a more seasoned Mark Gurman.
I'm going to bet with Gruber. Not only does it make me happier, it jives with a lack of other devices expected this fall.
"Waited for Skylake" thread.
If Apple is truly putting a lot of resources behind the "Magic Touch Bar" and if it's going to have significant integration in Sierra, the Magic Keyboard 2 should be released as well. It'd be an easy way to offer those features and Touch ID to every Mac. That turns it from a "gimmick" to a deeply embedded feature.
I think the October event is viable given some iMac updates. USB-C/TB3 and maybe some color options? It's been four years since a form factor change. You wouldn't even need any more products to make an event; they could always fill more time with some fluff. Love for any of the other aging Mac products would just be a bonus.
So MBP + iMac + Sierra in October. Then they hit us with a 2015 13" MBP price drop for the entry level pro model, a 13" MBA price drop for the entry level consumer model, and discontinue the 11" MBA and 2015 15" MBP.

Isn't a full discontinuation of the Air and a price drop for the MB more likely?
iMac got Skylake already, and I don't see a form factor change with no internal improvements. There's no rumors about a redesign for iMac, while we've had chassis and hinge rumors plus Kuo's 'biggest update ever' comment since May.
And Sierra was announced at WWDC. There isn't enough new Sierra stuff to justify an October event with MBP alone.
Definitely worth it, especially if you want to resell it 2 years down the road. The resale value is considerably better when there's a year left on the warranty.
