Apple to Introduce New Macs at October 27 Event

englishpremier · 20 Oct 2016 at 19:15

Got a 2015 macbook pro, so I'd want Kabylake and a 4k screen, otherwise I might as well hang-on for a while. Still keen to see what comes out.

Be interesting to see what they do, fully happy with my macbook air though, the screen is fine, the only issue being colour accuracy - iv calibrated it, but it can only do like 65% of the range of RGB, but as its just an office machine & on the road machine, not to much of an issue - ill take my PC laptop for 'power house' work, I do love my airs portability though.

A Surface Pro or other ThinkPad does the equivalent for a lot less, even if I'd have to live with Windows.

Surface pros are more expensive than rMBP 13" models?

think it's time to update my mid 2010 MacBook Pro.

When are the new iPads due?

About time! Still rocking my 2009 MBP and been waiting longer than I had planned for something new!

I'm on an early-2011 MBP, this looks like it might be the model to push me over the upgrade edge. Having said that, I know we're going to get a big price bump, and the BTO costs are always high too

added it to my calendar.

About time.

Look forward to that extra 8G of RAM to be like £100 !

The rumour-mill suggests other than the obvious new MBP line there's going to be another (bigger) size option for the MacBook. New iMacs and Thunderbolt Display seem less certain. Mac Pro is certainly due a refresh but not much news on that either.

The iMacs are waiting for discrete GPUs from AMD to be incorporated. Middle half of next year for those probably.

Exciting! Perhaps it's finally time to ditch my 2009 MBP? A new and more powerful Macbook with a bigger screen might just do it...

I can't wait, I've got money waiting so will likely order as soon you can.

Combat Fighter · 24 Oct 2016 at 17:28

I wondering if they will make a proper mac pro.

To replace that hideous trash can!

Interested to see what they do with the Mac Mini.

Bugger all I bet because I want one.

Bonjour · 24 Oct 2016 at 19:46

I wish the Mac Mini still had user-upgradeable RAM.

No kaby lake?

That's an interesting video. I don't really understand USB-C/Thunderbolt myself. How would I get a HDMI connection to the tele?
