Waiting for the 2017 MBP (Kaby Lake / Cannonlake / Coffee Lake??)

[ThisBougieLife]

So who wants to buy my 2016 MBP?

 

[lambertjohn]

Late 2017 earliest

You lose...

 

[killawat]

Congrats guys!!!!!

 

[c0ppo]

Congrats guys!!!!!

15" still with TB, nothing without TB
Well, cya Apple, since I really need laptop asap

 

[HerbertDerb]

So no price drop.... hoooray! (not)

This was dissapointing. Kaby lake and 50% faster storage and upgrade on the GPU

No drop in price
No bigger battery
No 32gb
No non-TB 15" MBP

 

[The Mercurian]

I'm confused.

They dropped the 13" to same price as12" - good....but why would anyone buy the 12" anymore!?!

They also bumping the MB Air. They really need to consolidate some of these models.

 

[wiffle]

Did the 15" get a GPU bump? Didn't notice it during the talk..?

They said better standard graphics, so I don't think they raised the bar.

The base gfx are higher. So maybe 455 or 460 by default?

 

[jsnuff1]

Well looks like no 32GB RAM...probably have to wait another year now...

 

[wiffle]

Heh. I hope they made some silent updates to KB issues etc.

So.... I have an interesting situation. I have a CRU on order for my 15" tbMBP 2.7/512/460 after a few botched repairs. Should I ask for an early 2017 version? Hahaha

 

[OneSon]

I'm confused by all this.

Some of these may still happen... but probably won't. A little disappointed myself - adding a cheaper, lower spec option does not constitute making your existing products better value.

 

[Blatboy]

probably have to wait to the end of the keynote to see the specs for the new MBP line somewhere...

I was thinking the same. Also where did you read about the bumping of the MB Air?

 

[c0ppo]

They have mentioned it on stage.

Pretty sure he said as a one liner that the MB Air is getting a GHz bump. Did I imagine that ?

I probably missed that part then. However the Apple website hasn't been updated yet, so I guess we'll have to wait until the end of the keynote

You're not imagining that, he did say the MBA was getting a bump.

I have one of each, 12" model is 50% lighter and makes a noticeable difference in your lap.

 

[NathanD]

I just read this on the official website: "Apple today also updated the 13-inch MacBook Air with a 1.8 GHz processor". But we still don't know whether it's Skylake or Kaby Lake.

 

[fokmik]

The new "macbook air" aka mbp 15w got the price drop,the only one making the same price as the 12" mb? Wtf

 

[c0ppo]

Lighter, quitter, and even cooler.

Well I don't know why you need one of each, but leaving that aside, if you have the money are you going to buy the lower spec machine for the tiny bit lighter and quieter that it is ?? Not likely

Well the MB is my personal laptop, and my MBP is via work.

My wife would be the perfect candidate for a regular MB, even though a MBP costs the same price. She'll never utilize the full power of a MBP, so the 50% less weight will be a more enjoyable experience for her.
