#22Does this have the Apple Silicon chip ?
The article states: "5. There is no Intel CPU option for the new models.", so it would have to be Apple Silicon. But of course this is just rumors, it sounds maybe too good to be true.

#23Why no one realizes developing software on MacOS/ARM and target Linux/x86 is a bad idea?

#24I would buy one. But it feels like I am being trolled to keep my money for longer to replace my aging (7yo) Thinkpad T440s.
Touch bar, ports and shallow keyboard is what kept me from buyng Mac for years.

Because it works for them.

#26I quite like the Touch Bar, with things like pock it means I can have full screen, hide the dock entire and still have notifications
And the ability to set custom apps inside it with iterm, and not have to loose a key on the board itself
I spend most of my time in vi when in terminal, and never had a “I’m missing an escape” ever

#27If even half what this report claims is true, a lot of 2012-2015 holdouts are going to upgrade, including myself.

#28Reading this, it feels like the MacBook Pro of 2015 is finally getting an upgrade. Took them 5 years to go back and restore the old school. Great to hear a couple iterations ago they restored the keyboard. Now with dropping the touch bar and bringing back mag safe. My 2015 daily driver might see retirement.
Exactly what I was thinking. I have been seriously dreading the day my 2015 Pro finally gives up on me. This news couldn't have come at a better time, I just hope it's true!
In the last couple of weeks I have that worry too.
Did a little research regarding replacing the disk. A more performant drive costs around $120 USD. And the steps too replace it do not seem to tricky.

#29They need to upgrade the camera too. The current cameras on the Air and Pro aren’t good enough for the COVID era video calls.

#30Apple listening to consumer feedback? What's going on? I never thought they'd add more ports again either - I could actually see myself getting one of these.
Jony Ive is gone is my guess
