There has to be one with no discrete graphics for less. Right? Who even cares about some lovely mobility Radeon. Pascal or gtfo.

I believe the 12" MacBook (AirProIGuess) and 13" both use integrated graphics.

The idea for ~the future~ is that you basically do monitor -> laptop with one USB-C cable (or monitor -> hub -> laptop with two) and that does both data (to monitor) and power (to laptop), and then connect other stuff to the monitor or hub and it acts as a passthrough. It's annoying that there's not much hardware for it yet, but it does mean basically one less cable for every device once it catches on more.

I'm glad this is happening. I currently have a set up where I have to plug in a USB wire for my monitor's built in USB hub, the displayport wire itself, and a magsafe connector to charge the laptop. It'd be nice just to use one wire.

Apple talked up an LG monitor for it with Thunderbolt 3/USB-C, which I find just surreal. It's like they've completely forgotten how to make new desktop hardware.

Don't be silly. Just use a Lightning to analog adapter, and connect that to an analog to USB-C adapter, and you'll be all set.

I can buy a 2TB 850EVO on Amazon for 589€ right now and drop it into my 2009 17" MBP no problem. Yes, SATA, yes slower. Would I noticed the speed difference? No.

Can we please open a new thread where we can discuss rMBP alternatives? TIA

PS: shipping times would suggest that the touch strip is the reason for all the delays.

We are a medical transport and interpretation company, but even off the clock I do the same in situations where I have to use my computer. I blame my iPhone and iPad, I know I can do things after on the keyboard but it's just so much more convenient to use touch.

I suppose most of the stuff I do at home casually is mouse based but I cmd-tab between windows, cmd-c/v text, cmd-w for new windows and type text, etc. I can't imagine using finger gestures to do expose or whatever to get around the interface.

Seriously? I'm on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina, and my biggest reason to consider upgrading would be more RAM. Looks like I could go from 750G SSD to 1TB SSD. CPU would be faster, I guess. That's nice. No more RAM capacity = eh, gently caress it.

I just use this thing as a desktop, so I don't care if it's thinner or whatever. It was the most powerful thing I could reasonably get from Apple at the time, and I'm not sure there's a desktop model that's much of an improvement either.

What have they been doing for four years, aside from removing hardware and flattening the UI everywhere?

Looks like the 15"s do have integrated graphics in addition to the Radeon Pro dGPU, but it's only the HD 530 (not Iris) which I believe is worse than the Iris Pro in the previous gen 15"s.
