I'm watching right now XPS 15 reviews on youtube... the only thing that's holding me back is buying exclusively online.

If you have a Microsoft store near you the XPS line should be available to try and buy there in person.
 
At this point the only thing that could make me happy is :

A jet black MBP with early Kaby Lake chips, a GTX 970, a 1TB SSD, a 4k bezeless Oled screen, an Oled touch bar with touch ID, 4 magsafe lightning ports, a black stainless steel apple logo, a lifetime warranty, 10TB of Icloud storage, airpods, an unlimited supply of airpods since I will always lose them, Steve Jobs pair of NB990 he wore when presenting the first iPhone keynote, an invitation to the Infinite Loop to have a private Dr.Dre concert while test driving the Apple car before kicking Tim Cook in the b*lls on live television.

Man, I really want to buy that watch but having used my Apple Watch for 3 months total since I purchased it on release makes me apprehensive. Makes me wonder if people's perceptions of the Watch are tarnished after they released a crappy product. Just because you're the best smartwatch doesn't mean you're a good smartwatch? Wrong thread I know but this place feels like home by now, lol.
 
I have a question, with the A10 fusion chip, with it be powerful enough to run in a MacBook Pro Body?

Don't like it but it feels that Cook & co is almost ready to just focus 100% on iOS, which would suck as I always had a soft spot to the UI of OS X.
 
Hurry the **** up Apple.

This is kind of me. I'm already on my second battery for a 2011 MBP and its starting to go. I don't really want to buy another, but I'm having a hard time keeping the battery alive during my commute home on a train (about 1/2 hour) and every once in a while the thing just dies while reporting about 30% battery life left.

You'll regret it.

The XPS 15 pales in comparison to even the current MacBook Pros. And don't forget preloaded with Windows 10, a truly terrible OS that even Microsoft fan boys detest.

October we'll definitely see the new Macs. Anyone who thought they were going to be announced today was merely setting themselves up for disappointment.

Back to the Mack is usually the third week of October (16th and 22th, for previous events) so looks like we'll be atleast a week deep before we get any noise.

IF we even get a October event at all. Odds at press release 50/50?

Reconvene in a month?

They could, in principle, develop a version of macOS for ARM (like how they transitioned from PowerPC to x86/x64) while keeping the UI intact. Whether they'll gain much by doing so is unclear though. Whatever the problems will be, it will definitely be better than iOS, one thing I can assert for sure.

Can you elaborate on how the XPS 15 "pales in comparison" to current gen MBP15?
 
This is sad watching this thread (I don't mean any negative demeanor). We were first excited for the March event... Then the MacBook refresh... Leaks of MacBook Pro's throughout the summer... Then the September event... For those ready to go to work or school, I can't even imagine the frustration you guys are going through.

Just letting you know that there is the other side, which is called Windows. I've moved from my 15" fully spec'd out MBP months ago and haven't looked back since. Now thinking of selling my MBA for a laptop with a GTX1060.

When they transitioned to Intel processors, didn't they announce that they were going to make the change something like 6 months in advance? Wouldn't they have had to make an announcement at the last WWDC?
 
unfortunately we don't have any microsoft store in Italy :(

I had a go on one the other day and was impressed. Very similar to Apple quality and loved the display although I still don't think Microsoft has resolved the scaling in Windows so am still holding out for the mbp.

I would like to understand this observation too based upon my response above.

Not saying or predicting that Apple's going to do it; just hypothesizing that in principle it could be done. There have been "rumors" saying so previously, but it seems unlikely at the current state of performance ARM processors can offer, not to mention the big hassle large software companies would have to go through to port their big suites to the new OS which won't happen quickly.

Besides, Tim seems so obsessed with iPad Pro and iOS ("what's a computer"), also making the case unlikely at least for several years to come.
 
Just reading your post made me again consider the huge amount of ill-will and dissatisfaction Apple has sowed with the neglect of their mac pro line ... and now their macbook pro line. No updates - same high prices.

To make this many of their loyal customers this wound-up and upset - for this long - has got to be one of the most 'retarded' marketing moves I've seen a company like Apple (so supposedly smart) make in a long long time.

One nice update wont erase the distrust. We know now to expect: an update, then the shaft for 2-3 or more years. How Apple thinks this makes good buisiness sense is beyond me.

Just wait one more month. When u see the new redesigned Macbook Pro, you will have forgotten all the bitter wait that instant. They need to anyway. All the wait for just a refreshed is not going to be good.
