The Broaddwell MBP looks to be an excellent upgrade, especially for GPU performance.
Hahah I love how this thread is already being made, even before Haswell's release. I'm down for the wait, if it means a better GPU.
why wait for the thread when we can start posting on this thread?
Happy with my Feb 2013 rMBP that I got at a killer price!!
Wait for Broadwell or the one that comes out in 2019?
What's after Skylake? Airlake?? I am waiting on that one!
Do you know of any difference between your feb '13 pro vs oct '12 pro?
What was the killer price? Considering oct '12 13" rMBP 128ssd for $1249 refurb. Good deal?
I got a Feb. 2013 15" rMBP 2.7ghz/16GB RAM/512GB SSD for $1900 brand new. To me, this beats paying full price even for Haswell any day.
As of now, I too am waiting for the March '14 MacBook Pro too!
Just picked up a new MBP Retina 15 2.7, 16GB, 512GB SSD etc and I'll run that for the next 6 months and then hand it down to my business partner and buy myself the version after this years next release.
It is, actually. Skylake and Skymont are the last codenames on the publicly-known Intel roadmap. IIRC, they have been for the last couple of years. Anybody here heard of codenames beyond Skymont?
When do you all think we will be seeing DDR4 MBPs?
Guyzzzzzzzz what do you think the specs will be for the Broadwell computers?!?! I was 64GB ram!!! Does anybody have any inside information?
I'm really not sure of the difference...I just wanted to be most up to date on the model. I upgraded from a mid-2009 MBP and I like to buy and sell every few years, to avoid it's worth decreasing.
I got the top of the line 15" rMBP (2.7 Ghz i7, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD) for $2,300. Brand new. I'm sure I could have found a deal just like it for the 2012 model, or even a better deal on this one...but I didn't want to wait any longer. In the end, I saved over $700 since I did not pay CA sales tax on it.
Yep! Going to finally make the switch to a Mac (after an unsuccessful attempt a few years ago with an iMac), and I think a Haswell MBP is going to be the machine for me! Just gotta wait for some news on when they're coming out!
Do you think they will let us have 16gb of ram in the 13 inch mac book? Waiting on Haswell while waiting for Broadwell!
There is no way Apple will put a discrete GPU in the Broadwell MBPs. The integrated GPU for Broadwell is rumored to be 40% faster than than for Haswell. The integrated GPUs for Haswell are probably already fast enough to ditch the discrete GPU from the 15" MBP as Apple have already done for the 13" MBP.
It looks like Thunderbolt 2 probably will be included in the Broadwell MBPs.
Quad-core CPUs in the 13" MBP is the best reason I can think of for possibly waiting for Broadwell. There is also a chance the 15" Broadwell MBPs might have a 32GB option.
Interest news released 2 days ago, Broadwell at 14nm is 30% more energy efficient than Haswell.
- Possible DDR4 if we are lucky.
This is the MBP you are looking for, not Haswell with integrated graphics.
Would you amazing-deal-finding bozos care to share your sources for ~$2K 512GB/16GB machines? I'd buy one in a second if I could find a deal like that in my area...!
And apologies to the thread starter--I can barely bring myself to wait for Haswell, let alone Broadwell!
