Resolved New 2014 MBP Retina Models... What to do?

[ricardo.felix]

Okay, I just picked up my new MBP Retina 15 inch (http://www.macmall.com/p/Apple-MacBook-Pro/product~dpno~9824842~pdp.ieeafbh)

WWDC is in 2 weeks and I heard some rumors that there will be an update with the macbooks. If that is true, should I return my macbook now and wait for the 2014 models?

I am so confused, I mean, I already bought it but that was just 2 days ago, I need your help!

Thanks!

Broadwell based CPUs aren't going to be out for awhile.

The first 2014 models might still be using Haswell CPUs if Apple decides to make a update soon.

Okay, so my new macbook should be nice and shinny for how long do you think?

I would assume late 2014 (December) at the earliest.

While Intel is pushing Broadwell for mobility devices in Holiday of 2014 (Q4 2014), the desktop lineup would be further delayed. Broadwell would be the first 14nm consumer chip and would be headed to mobility platforms first in Q4 2014 followed by desktop chips in Q1 / Q2 2015.

Well , the next major update should be in early 2015 due to the delays that Broadwell has been facing.

If the next generation of Intel processors get shipped out in Q4 2014 , you will most likely see the early 2015 Mac laptops with Broadwell based CPUs.

By major update do you mean whole design update? Or just software?

Major update as in hardware


You would probably see better battery life in the Broadwell model.

Also Apple would be using a faster dedicated GPU.

2 weeks ? It's one (1) week, so put that on your calendar or you will miss it
