"launched" ... I don't think Intel knows what that really means to the rest of the world. According to them the 45W Skylakes w/ 580 Pro were 'launched' in Q1 of this year. Show me ONE manufacturer selling a laptop with that CPU.
Got a tip for us?

I mean, I always listen to music through a DAC so I won't care if they do away with the headphone jack, but somehow I don't see that flying as well on the Mac. If they do remove it, are they going to put a lightning port in then?
At least they're talking about the Mac, though. That's a good sign
why are they doing this now? why not a year or 2 ago?
I may be too old school but if I was waiting for the new MBP, I would be pissed if they get rid of all of the regular usb ports and the HDMI port.
The new leaked chasis pretty much confirmed the above. It's all USB-C and a 3.5mm headphone jack. That's it.
Also inb4 "but the other ports still haven't been drilled". What are the chances that you drill all the other ducking ports including keyboard keys, new OLED touch bar resting place, USB-C ports, headphone jack, power button, vents, but forgot drilling the Magsafe and a SD card slot. -.-"
"Yeah let's leave those for last". ....No

I think these surveys are for much later models down the road. And seeing how slow they are now must mean around 10 years
Does this mean that the design overhaul we have been anticipating with the skylake MBPs would actually come with the generation of MBPs following Sky lake ones, possibly Kaby Lake or Coffee Lake
Good news. They started working on the much anticipated new MacBook pro. Right on time for the coffee lake release in late 2018.

That would be so awesome if it were true.It's the 40th anniversary of the mac, so:
40 = 4 x 10
October 4th CONFIRMED!!!
"Apple releases new Black and JetBlack iPhones"
While you're not @WRONG your information is. For the MacBook Air, Apple also doesn't use the base processors, but the little-better-ones (not the Core i5-5200U but the 5250U, which has HD Graphics 6000 instead of 5500). So, Apple would use the GT3e-15W-parts for Skylake or Kabylake too, most probably, which are:
http://ark.intel.com/products/91160/Intel-Core-i5-6260U-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-2_90-GHz
http://ark.intel.com/products/91163/Intel-Core-i7-6560U-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz
And for Kabylake not announced yet. Same timeframe as for the 13'' MBP: Q1 2017 at the earliest.
Call me an Oppenheimist if you want but I would be disappointed if the new MBP had any of the old ports. I'll have to use adapters to connect my current peripherals which is not very convenient but I'll probably get used to it. I'll be satisfied with the 4 type-c and 1 headphone jack that we got to see in the leaked images, clean and simple. I don't have a MacBook so I don't know how much I would like Magsafe...
So your response to a guy saying "show me a mfg currently shipping a high-end 45W skylake chip" is that dell has started shipping a low-end 15W kaby lake chip?
/whatisthisidon'teven
Just goes to show that some people don't know a damn thing about processors, other than a codename name. And actually, he couldn't even get that last part right.
If it stated it was a 15w cpu in big letters then yes, it would be odd not to confuse it, but as far as I can see there is no mention of the wattage therefore an easy mistake.
Most people don't know the different names of the chips and what they stand for. I certainly don't.
In response to the recent bunch of posts following mine: i wasn't really intending on bashing on @maev. It's easy to get mixed up, as @shareef777 also quoted a post mentioning the new low-end kaby lake procs, which is what probably lead @maev to think we were looking for machines with the new kaby lakes.
What we're all quite frustrated by is the fact that the 45W Skylakes that are supposed to fit the 15" MBPs still haven't been seen in the wild (except maybe the NUC Skull Canyon?)
I know that apple doesn't use the base chip, but all the 15w & 5w variant will be out by the end of the year
so if they are going to update the mba & rmb why not use kaby ?
P.S If somehow the manage to use kaby for the new rmbp, what are they going to use next year ?
does that mean they still haven't finalised the design of future mbp?? prepare to wait other 6 months
