Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[fox10078]

i like that razer blade, come oct if no new mbp are out I may consider that. Still don't like the idea of windows though but that 1060 is pretty sweet.

I think it's too bad that it really looks like a gaming laptop. If the razer blade looked more professional (or maybe another professional version) I would consider it.

Trackpads are still incomparable. I tried them out at the Microsoft store recently. It's your primary input device apart from the keyboard; think hard about sacrificing that experience.

Indeed... I'm yet to find one which is even remotely close to the Macbook Pro. This is a show stopper for me

You made my day, sir.



YES! Now I feel more comfortable knowing I'm not the only one waiting skylake MBPr + FM17... like every year

Add me to the list too!

You have a LONG wait ahead of you.

Trackpad is the main reason I'm ditching the Windows PC.

what problems iphone 7 has?

You can read in the iPhone section of this forum. For example Hissing sound, yellow screen etc...

March 2017. I'm sorry.

October 2016

Anyone think we'll get any clues when Sierra drops tomorrow?

Probs not

 

[SRTM]

We hope it will be released October 2016, but realistically - March 2017.

So you think 'realistically' Apple will leave their flagship Mac product untouched for almost two years!? GTFO

The CPU is the same generation as the 2013 one. That's why I'm still waiting

Apple have realistically not updated Mac Pro for over 1000 days.

Apple have realistically not updated Mac Pro for over 1000 days.

The Mac Pro isn't their flagship Mac product.

Apparently now the current flagship Mac is the MacBook.

 

[Dydegu]

If I can't take the new MBP in the pool with me or use it in the rain or shower, I'm done.

 

[voyagerd]

I wonder how being submerged in water affects WIFI reception

 

[rezwits]

I disagree. One wrong decision, or one new invention can spell the end of a company. Big titan companies fall and it doesn't even take a blink for that to happen. Where's Nokia, RIM? The only reason MS and Apple have survived for so long is due to the fact that they were the only 2 major commercial providers of a user friendly OS. The day someone comes out with a better OS, better phone, or heck even a new technology...be prepared to see the end of these companies.

Yeah but that's why they don't release anything, and just sit back and take pot shots at what they deem, the most optimal time. But, I think it would take a MAJOR SHIFT, for Amazon, Google, or Apple to fail at this point. They are just the start of this, Microsoft could have been in this group and they kinda are, but damn they are throwing billions around like crazy, look at the $60 billion linkedin.com purchase, whoa! They didn't even blink an eye or even sweat it...this combined with crazy hardware stock, I guess could borderline bankrupt them...

Again ... flagship product. The MacPro is the most niche product at Apple outside the AppleTV/Airport line (which is why it's the only product they brought manufacturing back to the US with).

 

[frankgrimes]

personally I've decided to wait till Christmas and if by then there is no new MBP I'll go Dell xps. Put Windows 7 on it and be happy for the foreseeable future.

Razer Blade yeah no thanks to Synapse.

 

[ihatetoregister]

988 + 2 = 990 not 1000

Delusions and confusion are setting in for us who have been waiting too long.

Indeed, I'm probably losing it !

 

[navaira]

Well, I agree that it looks like the rMB is their current "flagship product" (languishing behind actual "flagship products" being iPhone, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, iHump, Watch Bands and iDongles)

Care to explain ? I'm planning to buy the Blade Stealth, so I'm curious.

I'd argue that those companies (Nokia/RIM) have failed miserably because they stopped innovating and thought their name was enough to sell their products. So while they sat on their laurels, Apple/Google stepped up and handed them a beat down. Someone could be developing/innovating something radical and upend the entire industry again (we won't know till years after the intro).

Multitouch was what up-ended the last dynasty of 'smartphones'. Now it's second nature to assume there's a multi-touch interface on any smartphone. Who knows what the next innovation is going to be that upends this dynasty (Apple/Google).

Almost waiting for the same, except it is the Skylake rMBP +Civ VI

And damm you guys are making pages fast at the moment

It's sad, but it sure does seem that watch bands are one of their 'flagship products' this year.
