any updates on this?
what rumors say:
release date: Sept or October
13: gets quadcore
15: gets hexacore
keyboard: fixed again :)
new colors: gold or rusty

Greater touch bar resolution, slightly faster cpu's, newer gpu. Hexacore not coolable with this case imo, but they'll just throttle it down so you have quad performance with your hex cpu ;)

I'm just happy to know my 2013 MBP will continue to be compatible with the upcoming MacOS 10.14 Mojito
- section_0140
I'm sure they'll continue down the path of fashion accessory with CPU's / GPU's that are at least a generation behind everything else.
- You're probably right but I would be so happy if they met my needs as a C4D user. I'm not getting my hopes up.CyBrainX
- There aren’t a lot of laptops yet sporting the newest generation cpus. Most PCs still have 6th and 7th gen in portables.monospaced
- Everything in Dell,HP,Lenovo,etc's "flagship" range has 8th gen chips. A lot of the mid-range stuff does as well. The $500 and below doesn't...section_014
- But, that's not in the same range as the MBP's.section_014

oh la la, Apple released the new macbook pro line... TODAY!
https://www.apple.com/macbook-pr…like expected and appreciated the main specs are: 13 gets quadcore (8th gen) and 15 gets hexacore processor.
surprise: the 13inch without touchbar gets no renew! what?
also the butterfly keyboard (3th generation) only on the 13inch with touchbar? we will see.and the good news, there is no gold or rusty! (:
- ah apple.. failing... how do you plug your Wacom into those? Or SD card? An old 2014 model it is: https://www.hoxtonma…shapesalad
- Will there be another refresh in the fall? Ive been waiting on getting a new MBP because of all this BS going on.desmo

- @shapesalad. wacom should add Bluetooth, thats the way it all goes...api

- well yeah, those massive drives aren’t cheap dude.monospaced
- Configure an HP with the same processor, screen resolution and 4tb m.2 SSDs and it comes out 30% more expensive than apples machine.monospaced
- Getting a 4TB SSD is not worth it even to work in 3D. Put working files and apps on your SSD and use regular, larger drives for storage.CyBrainX
- And no one uses Final Cut anymore.CyBrainX
- Were you looking mono? I just compared (really quickly) and the Mac looks like at least $1k more, at least compared to Dell.formed
- At HP’s site. Adding a 4TB drive adds almost $4,000. It comes to $8,900 US.monospaced
- That’s with an i7 and a touchscreen. Closest specs I could even get. More expensive and yet Apple you’re laughing at. Weird.monospaced
- You’re right though. A similar Dell is about $5,800.monospaced
- who needs a 4TB drive? Who wants to lose 4TB of data with a drive failure?Bennn
- Apparently enough people that it’s a $3k-$4k option from every laptop maker.monospaced
- Bragging rights, I guess. They should have made it a special gold color.formed
- Bragging rights for what? Besides being the fastest implementation of SSD so far, they aren’t special.monospaced

Touchbar. Nobody cares.
- Uhm I think the next new one will be the shit.. I meant the next next one... Actually I meant just shit.helloeatbreathedrive
- Entire keyboard becomes touch screen.pango

Ordered one of these today!
Time to delivery (with modifications) 18-20 Days. Hope this holds or it comes earlier.Sad that only Intel’s 9th-generation ‘Ice Lake’ CPUs will have fixes for Meltdown, Spectre built into the processor.

so after a view weeks i can give you a review how things are going with my 13inch mbp
____pros
its a very nice machine with surprisingly great speakers. for more see the prospect and apple website.i bought a long third party "mac safe" cable (LMP) for charging and i love it.
____cons
you see every finger tab on the screen and it is very hard do clean the display :( also its not easy to open the lid without touching the screen somewhere.lot of strange freeze or kernel panics until the first update. did not feel like apple was ready to release it in this stage. an first software update fixed it, now it is running fine. just once i also had a problem with audio after a youtube video starts to play in a 1 sec soundnoiseloop. the strange thing - also a browser quit did not fix the sound loop - it needed a complete reboot. apple gave out a suplemental update 2 a view days ago, since then no problems. also i do not have these sound problems with click noice that other useres repordet (T2 Chip is suspected).
reminders app is loading 10 seconds at startup (ok its a long list of reminders with around 1000 entries). but my 9 year old machine does it in just 1 sec. so apple messed something up with preloading/cahing long reminders list.
photoshop is running smooth, my illustrator version needs too much ram/energy.
so far so good!
