When this finally comes to an end, and we get our Skylake MBPs, this thread should be published as an ebook and placed in the iBooks store for posterity.

The MB definitely confuses things a bit. But ultraportability comes with an inflated price tag, so it's going to sit in a weird spot for a little while.
And you're right, it's like I can buy the MB which is like a super compact car or spend $200 more and get a mid-size, which is still relatively portable but overpowers the compact in a huge way.
Im secretly begining to enjoy the wait now.
All I can think of now, is that Apple is saving me money, any savings I had towards my new MBP have been spent on other necessities since March and any purchase now would be on credit, even though I really need a new laptop its a bit like hanging in there with an old car, if it passes the next MOT i'll keep running it in to the ground.
So **** it, keep your Skylake MBP Apple!

We didn't even notice that page 1000 is almost here! At this pace we'll get there before October 1. Unlike some Apple laptops hohoho.
"Always here to help!"
I will let this here,i don't need credit or something.The mac updates will begin with October as follow:redesign macbook pro and mac mini,internal updates for Mac Pro/iMac,and macbook air with Tb3 to work with the upcoming 5k Display with GPU.The OS will disable any mac with only iGPU and let the GPU from the Display take priority.
Considering the A10 Fusion Chip is a 2.33 GHz quad core processor, why don't we see that in MacBooks. They'll still be fanless, still be sleek, but will be more powerful than Intel Core M. I understand ARM on MBP might be far away, but whats wrong with having it on a MacBook? I think we might see ARM MacBooks (larger variants) in this upcoming refresh.
Perhaps the GPU needs work though?

be careful posting stuff like this here...
Yeah people tend to get real critical on here...but I think it might be a possibility.
According to Geekbench (single core / Multi core)
iPhone 7 (3285 / 5285)
base model Mac Mini (3195 / 5957)
Early 2011 MBP (2338 / 4589)
On the theory that lower level products put pressure on products immediately above:
An iPad Pro with A10X should outclass current base model Mac Mini.
I hope this means a big upgrade in performance for the Mac Mini and for the MBP!
Sure, if you spend all your time running Geekbench.
I 100% agree with you. But many here don't believe that will happen.
I think it's more along the lines that people are afraid it will happen.
I don't care if it happens in the MacBook, but not the damn Pro...else they can just get rid of the Pro and only have MacBooks, which is probably what they would ultimately love to do...
Are you me? I'm in the same boat - had a couple of thousand saved up back in May. Then I got a new job, needed to move, and all that money went to various security deposits. Now I'm like, well, I'll just slap an SSD into my 2010 Mac Mini and that'll do me fine for another year or two or until MacOS forces it into obsolescence, whichever comes first.
I really need a mobile computing option, though. My iPad 3rd gen is *not* cutting it.
How will the page counter support a 4 digit number when we reach 1000 pages?
RISC vs CISC, that's why. Arm != x86
