#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
G5 Powerbook finally happening?

I agree. It feels like 'What I want to hear'.

#44yes yes and yes. What took them so long? I am curious what resolution would the 14" have (closer to 15 or 13?)

#46I know it's from Kuo, but these leaks don't pass the smell test for me. It makes no sense for them to add the touchbar to the base model 13" MBPs only to remove them from the higher end versions. It makes even less sense to add more ports which aren't USB-C, as the bits about MagSafe and no dongles imply. Further, I don't understand what is meant by "iPhone 12 like" non-curvy design - I have a 2018 MBP 15", and the s…
Who is this guy Kuo anyhow. He always make predictions one year before they almost always become real. Where does he work?

#47If they do this I won't be able to resist buying one. I want to resist though and be one of those people who uses a laptop with libreboot and OpenBSD.

He's an analyst at a financial services company, I think TF International Securities currently.

#49Why is it that software engineers can understand the idea of software ports and adapters, but collectively seem to lose their minds when the idea of physically manifest?
USB-C is the one port to rule them all, and is here to stay.

#50Add bringing back SD Card Reader, HDMI and changing the Webcam it seems like the best MBP wishlist ever.
