Would be nice if they decided to forego making the MBP thinner and gave it a worthwhile GPU, Processor, etc... Actually make a powerful laptop for once. 
Got a tip for us?

Oh yeah i mentioned that in the earlier post...that its a dual core 15W. If the new MBP retains the 28W processor...a heatpipe system might be questionable. However 15 W is possible.
If its not for this refresh then its for one of the folowing refreshes but i know for a fact that Apple is finaly going to put a decent dedicated gpu in the rMBP, thanks to the upcomming VR revolution...

I have a feeling your "facts" are going to disappoint you.
You are completely right he will be disappointed. Anyhow, the MBP is my next laptop.
Me too. I have a feeling it will be my last "laptop". In 3/4 years, I can see myself using an iPad pro type device.
I'm trying to move my workflow to an iPad, but restricted software and limited connectivity is keeping me from completing the transition. Laptops with their keyboards and trackpads are starting to feel like ancient relics. Nevertheless I may buy the one last ride with my favourite type of computers.
Once the iPad is running Mac OS and allows sub connections and file system like a Mac that could be a good idea. Apple will not do this as people will spend money on one device and not both.
There's an architecture chasm that needs to be filled. It may be that we will have an option between a ARM/iOS pad or an Intel/OSX pad. The former for consuming content, the latter for creating content.
I also don't see Apple droping the quadcore C*PUs.
But I'd love Apple at least inserting some 15W CPU as a possible configuration.

I hope for that as well but Ive and his obsession with thinness. It's going be one of those "Oh yes but wait a minute... they took away $%^ for making it thin" moments.

Pretty much, sadly. But, still silly wanting thinner as a consumer when it means getting rid of more and more. The day Apple finally makes a laptop/desktop the consumer can upgrade RAM, GPU, HD without voiding warranties and the likes, will be a happy day with you know, up to date parts and an OS that supports it's own hardware. =P
Until then, there's always that other company.
I dont want to hurt your "feelings" but Id like a reaction with rational arguments better
So why is it taking so long for Apple to come out with the new 15" Mac Book Pro, after coming out with a 12" model. Will they have the ports the older model had.
I just need a new one with Skylake,Kaby lake Mac Book Pro with quad core ( so no 13") and thunderbolt 3

Their trends are towards thinness and battery life, not GPU capability. They've been removing dedicated GPUs as integrated cards have gotten "good enough" in their eyes. VR, at least in its current state, won't be enough to change that. Apple has never cared about gaming, and VR is not going to suddenly change their mind. Maybe in five years when the tech matures and starts to have applications outside of gaming.
