Don't forget we'll also Kaby Lake in 2016, albeit towards the end of the year. That's why it makes sense for apple to release skylake as early as possible as there will be another release at the end of the year.
Got a tip for us?

Some voices here saying that Apple would skip Skylake entirely and wait for Kaby.
Not. Going. To. Happen.
Let me reiterate some of the more nuanced opinions in this thread.
1. Skylake is already in iMac.
2. Appropriate 15" MBP chips will be available in Q1 2016.
3. Kaby with Iris Pro is slated for Q1 2017.

I too think it's a given that Apple will update the Macbook Pro's with the Skylake processors. The only thing that gives me doubts is whether Apple will redesign the Macbook Pro or not. And if they do, will it be together with the Skylake update? Or will it be as a mid-late update because otherwise they won't have anything 'new' for their update cycle.
Sure why not, this thread is over 2 years old.I think it's time to create Waiting for Kaby Lake thread anyway
There we have it, Kaby folks, move over.Sure why not, this thread is over 2 years old.

Or maybe it's a Waiting for A9X thread...mind blown.
Actually I hope not.
New MacBook Pros are coming (re-design or not) as soon as possible from Apple. Sorry if anyone thinks that Apple's waiting until WWDC in June to unveil a re-designed MacBook Pro with Skylake, you're sadly mistaken.
So does Skylake guarantee a switch to DDR4? I think as much as anything that's what I'm looking forward to.
Take a look to the new HP ZBook Studio specs:
http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA6-2676ENUC
The Skylake Intel® Xeon® E3-1545M v5 with Iris P580 is set to 1H16.
I would love to see a rMBP redesigned with Xenon CPU, also the HP has 4K screen, ECC DDR4 and Nvidia quadro options.

Was just in the Microsoft Store today, and checked out the new XPS 13 & 15.... Damn! Wow! Kind of makes one wonder?
Even the 15 wasn't overly large, but the 13 felt like a 11 MBA. But those screens!!! Microsoft is pretty easy with the education discount, and I had a couple of the kids along with me, which was enough to qualify me. Price for the 15 with Quad core Skylake i7, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD, Nvidia GPU, 4k Touch screen, etc. was about $1,900. That's a lot of horsepower in a fairly small and light package.

Why stop there?Sure why not, this thread is over 2 years old.
If we're going to do it all, we should go all the way and start a "Waiting for Hell-Lake to Freeze Over MBP" thread.
Remember that you have to include rehabilitation for you and your kids. That touchscreen is going to kill your arms
I think after what they have done with the Mac Pro, there is a small chance of a machine with this spec emerging from Apple. Something like a redesigned 16-17" rMBP which is truly a top of the line machine unveiled at WWDC to reiterate that Apple is caring for their "pro" market. Small chance.
The XPS machines are badly made and riddled with problems.

The Dell badge should have been the warning.
You picked out two RANDOM forum posts to say it's horrible? Yet, the dozens of PRO reviews saying otherwise are useless? Have you played around with it? Nope.
Apple fanboy at it's finest.
Anyone can go into a forum and pick out random complaints. Ever look around here?
How about those endless pages of people who had their retina screen peeling in less than year?
Yet, you pull up a complaint about speakers not being loud enough and questioning build quality. Lol joke.

Random posts? Have you seen how many people have issues?
Yes, I have played around with both the Skylake based XPS 13 & 15, courtesy of Dell. The 13” model is more or less identical to the Broadwell based version, with the same flaws, namely the woeful touchpad & other quirks like the ridiculously placed webcam. The build quality was so-so. The XPS 15 given to me to evaluate didn’t even sit flush on the desk properly, it wobbled. There was lighbleed and things like that which reminded me that the machine was most definitely a Dell.
The issues I experienced with both seem to mirror the complaints that other people had. It’s a shame as Dell came close to producing some great machines, but I couldn’t spend money on a poorly assembled notebook which is supposed to be ‘premium’. If it was £600 I could forgive some of the shortcomings.
I’ve read lots of so-called professional reviews, they seemed to briefly touch upon some of the issues & claimed that most of them would be “fixed with the fall update” which is nonsense. I’m not sure which reviews you read, but in my experience there’s only 5 or 6 places I would say give good professional reviews & most of them are not mainstream media websites/publications.
I appreciate being called an Apple fanboy. It makes total sense as I make and have always made my living in a Windows environment.
