While it may be true that Apple sometimes released hardware at WWDC in the last decade, there's still the elephant in the room; Why have no big name sites like fool.com or wsj put their name on this "leak" if it is real? When there's real hardware coming, those guys usually get the inside scoop (and preview hardware if weeks from release). They'd be furious if Apple let small beans sites scoop them. https://www.wsj.c…

Bloomberg reported it: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-16/apple-sai...

I stand by my post. Bloomberg spams HN for traffic. They don't get inside scoops from Apple.

I love my Late 2011 17" matte MacBook Pro. I dread the day that I will have to settle for a new MBP. I will probably end up getting a refurbished 17" off of eBay or something instead.

I almost bought one of those the other day. Well technically I was looking at the matte 15 in MCP. It is a shame how much Apple has gottan rid of. According to past OS updates wouldn't you run into the issue that it wouldn't run the lasted OS?

I'm still on Mavericks 10.9.5. Works great, I see no reason to update. It's a workhorse at its current state, no need to mess with what works so well.

I think he meant that the newest 15" MBP with a 2880x1800 retina display is configured by default to show a scaled 1680x1050 desktop instead of the "native" 1440x900@2x you are thinking about.

That's exactly what I meant, apologies for confusion.

I was profoundly shaken, but in the end, in the interest of discussion, I decided to accept the apology.

Is there any information on how well the latest MBP model has sold? I want to see Apple's bottom line being hit by the poor decision making. I personally went for a dell XPS 13 (and I'm regretting it, but that's another story).

I want to see Apple's bottom line being hit by the poor decision making.

In other words, you'd like validation for being mad at them? "If only they had listened to me..."? Poor decisions or not, those decisions don't affect you anymore as you've purchased another brand. Just let it go. Because most of what I'm reading says they're selling quite well.

The article was written by Mark Gurman who had an excellent rumor track record when he was at 9to5mac.

It beats me why they don't just update their MacBook Air. This is the computer that serve most people's needs.

It's by far the sleekest (the MacBook and MacBook Pro being thicker and heavier), it's not exactly cheap but it's priced just right at around 1,000 euro, it's not fast enough for graphics work or gaming but it really serves the need of 90 percent of college kids and professionals who just need internet, emailing, a text editor and a spreadsheet, and to be able to watch a movie and save pictures. And maybe do some light hacking.

Update the MacBook Air and I would buy it right away.

It's probably the wrong thread to share my hopes for the next-gen but still. My family owns four 2016 models (maxxed out both 13 inch and 15 inch, a pair used at a day job and a pair is personal) and we all experience similar issues: a) Touch Bar reacting to fingers that are accidentally touch it while resting. Causes a lot of volume and Esc triggers. Latter is particularly annoying at it usually cleans Slack/Skype/o…

I'm returning my 2016 MacBook Pro (just got it) tomorrow over these exact same issues. Bad performance, TouchBar accidental triggers, 16GB of RAM... etc. same things.
