By 2020, it's possible that Apple won't even be selling Macs. They really haven't focused on computers in a long time. They treat their computer division like the unwanted middle aged adult child that never left home and has overstayed his welcome.
a $10+ billion a year unwanted adult child. just like the Appletv stepchild. I think apple knows if it loses this market it will be in a lot more trouble.

I would like to buy 1 new MBP, but I've 0 patience left.
For the life of me I cannot understand what Apple is doing with MacBook Pro. My kid goes to college on August 21 and by all rights I should be packing her off to school with a brand-new MBP. But there is no way I'm paying the Apple premium for 2013 technology at the end of 2016. Back-to-School with nothing new? What a missed opportunity.

I want a new mac to replace my surface 3 and won't touch anything currently being sold by Apple.

I am in the same boat. My daughter also starts college at the end of next month and is stuck with her old Macbook, for now. She is willing to wait for a while until something new comes out (or if nothing exciting is release, looking at alternatives).

Yep. I'm starting college this September and my parents have offered to buy me a new laptop--it never occurred to me that I might not have one in time for college. Granted, I have an iPad, but it's no laptop substitute. And I just refuse to get a 2015 model, so it's possible that I might be going my first quarter of college without any laptop. -_- Will be fun writing papers on an iPad...

If you get a smart keyboard or wireless keyboard, it's not as bad as you might think. It's not close to a laptop, but you could live with it for a while.

I hate to say it but Apple is killing it in this regard. Kids care more about Beats headphones than they do about SkyLake or CoffeeCake OvenBake, for sure they're not saying "oh this only has 4th generation intel processors, lets look over at a dell machine for our needs". You and I are holding out to get the best kit/value for dollar but most parents/students are just trying to get everything sorted out so they'll buy whatever the Apple Store has.

You'll have an Apple Car in 2020 though, and while osx and macs will be dead, it'll cost twice the price of Tesla cars AND come with an iPad Pro S Plus!!!

The car will also be guided by Apple maps, sending it to the bottom of a lake instead of taking you home. After you're $900,000,000 car sinks to the bottom, you'll push the only button in the car to ring Apple support. While asking them to remotely let you out of the car, they'll inform you that your support has been terminated due to activation of the water / moisture sensors.
