I'm wondering if true tone will be a feature. Was honestly surprised when it wasn't in the iPhone 7.
What coffee do you drink?!?!

Save yourself half the money and get a used 2015 rMBP. If the new model comes out next month sell yours on for an acceptable hit. If the new model turns out to be a horror show, cuddle your 2015 machine smugly and watch the panic as everybody tries to get one.
Makes no sense - they are both equally without substance - one should not be better than the other
I like more Coffee Lake.
More like Irish Coffee Lake...
Very good, tell Tim that it's OK, were so desperate for a new MBP that we'll take a price increase of 10% + just to stay with the Mac OS and a longer battery life, things which are not new. OLED bar it's cute with limited value. The only way the new Mac would justify a 10+ price increase is to really have some big changes other than thinner lighter. Touch ID woo whoo! Keep in mind the CPI-U is in the 1-2% range and tech costs have been falling for years. If they added a touch sensitive screen like you see on the Surface Book made the 500 SSD and 16 mgb ram standard and the ability to upgrade ram on your own as before then maybe.

So, I skimmed through this desperate thread and finally decided to register. I don't know how you guys keep the patience, but mine is getting thin.
Everything points to a very unsurprising, disappointing update.
I'm now considering a switch back to the PC, after someone earlier on this thread posted the amazing Razer Stealth Blade laptop ( which would also allow me to get rid on my PC, because you can get and external GC and play "for real" from your laptop. ).
Problem is, I hate windows with my guts. I'm considering a virtual OSX but I don't know how well that works ?
If some of you are developers and made the switch (or own both), how hard is it to get used to the windows world and the Ubuntu subsystem ?

Hei, ihatetoregister
We all know what you're going through. That being said - the update won't be that disappointing, as long as they deliver the "expected" specs (and don't give us a f***ing 15W 13" MBP. As for the Razer Blade Stealth, you can in principle get the same kind of thing going with a 13" MBP, and a Wolfe (lookie here). I think it may be the best of both worlds for you: no pesky Windows to deal with + an MBP, if those end up satifying your personal criteria + powerful graphics on-demand.
Thanks for joining, and welcome to the thread! We're in this for the long haul
I am still going on that expectation of Feb/March from the conversation I had with Apple (store) Manager. Anything before then will be a very pleasant surprise.
Personally I think back to the Mac will be the first Keynote from the new Auditorium in Campus 2 which should be good to go in a few months time, so Im thinking some kind of welcome event in January time.
Coming from the foundations of the future of Apple, with a whole new update to the products that the company is built on.
The blade stealth 512gb 4k model is currently 20% off on Amazon. For anyone looking to jump ship
Welcome among us, just in time for the final rush.
It will be a good one, I promise.
Just remember to follow the rules:

Looks great but that 520 iGPU though..
Probably a better idea to check out their Skylake one with 580.
@WRONG i think you forgot a really important rule...
Do NOT ask if the new MBP could have kaby lake...

Thanks for the suggestion. I hope you're right about the update. In any case I'll wait, but I don't know, after all this time I feel it's going to be a wet fireworks ( is that an expression in English ). A bit like the iPhone7 which made me stay on my 6 ...
@Wittysparrow : Thanks ! I live in Norway though so this won't work.
