It would be awesome if the 14" were lighter than the 13" MBP.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting. Where did you hear about this?

For those thinking of going the iMac m1x pro route:
This seals the deal for me. macbook pro 16" m1x for me then.

Why does everyone seem to think that the new chip will be an m1 derivative? I know that it is a lesser possibility but the chip can be named n1 or something and represent a different architecture, maybe incorporating lpddr5 ram and a faster ssd in line with the newest pcie-4 offerings. These are also being discussed in the forum but now that everyone says specifically m1x, feels like I missed something.
It's certainly possible... but would it be economical? It'd be a much more expensive option, so it depends on whether Apple can make the sums add up developing a whole new architecture just for the higher end chips (which are going in much lower sales volume machines = even less economy of scale) vs whatever benefits they get from a custom 'pro silicon' architecture.
You‘re right. The way I worded above question was a bit open to misunderstanding, I accept
I was trying to ask whether there was a news indicating m1x is at least 99% coming, or it‘s still the same arguments. There’s nothing wrong to expect an m1 derivative of course, this seems to be the most logical way as you well pointed out. The rumors implied that the chip was ready even at the time of wwdc, but mainly the problems about the mini-led panel production caused a few months worth of a delay IF the rumors are true. Still, uncertanties require to leave the gate slightly open to a different chip. We’ll see. Hopefully soon.Huge discounts on MBPs and MBA at Amazon right now. Maybe just a typical back-to-school sale (?), but hopefully a harbinger of updates coming soon.
I see, sorry for the misunderstanding - As to your point I really couldn't say. Apple's chip team seem quite watertight on leaks (I'd imagine it's an ultra-priority category for preventing anything even remotely resembling industrial espionage) so If Kuo has nothing to say from the supply chain side, it might well be the first time we get that info will be on stage at the launch event!You‘re right.

If the iPad Pro is anything to go by that's actually not an unreasonable expectation. With the different aspect ratios the 12.9" iPad display is not far off in area to a 14.0" 16:10, so scaling it up shouldn't be a problem, at least for the smaller model.
Man, I'm so excited for the new 14". But I catch myself in being blinded my rumours and estimated metrics. My mid14 13" is on it's last leg, and I'm not sure if I want to go for the 16" for the rumoured extra GPU-cores and the screen real estate. I'll probably be well of with the 14" for portability and power, any M1-whatever is going to make my day better. I'm a professional photographer and I'm looking forward to having ports. I usually have it plugged in to a external monitor at the office anyway.
If I needed a laptop today I think I would just go for the M1 Air. I'm a little bit nervous for buying the first iteration after a redesign, but hopefully it will be great. I casually game low-graphic-intense games, but I'll probably just have to get a WinTel-laptop in the future if want to do more of it
I wonder what the price-gap between a 32gb/m1x/2tb will between the 14/16!
Hoping for a swift and good release!

I’d imagine that it’s in an Airgapped network, mantrapped entrance and exit, highly monitored employees, document sign in and sign out process, large AUPs, strict ‘need to know’ and least privilege, no remote access, etc.

I'd rather it not be because that means they took advantage of the space with a larger battery.
Probably not in Aug or Sept. Oct or Nov most likely. Still a ways out. My 15" MBP (Late 2013) still works great but I wouldn't mind getting a new shiny.
Currently, one of the top leakers (around 85% track record) is saying late October. Other analyst have reported a wider window of October-November. Either way, we are looking at 3-4 months. Although as WWDC has shown, the leakers can definitely get it wrong but in this case, the release window certainly sounds correct.
Judging by the iPad Pro and 24” iMac launch, if they announce it at an October event, it will probably ship within the first couple weeks of November.
I can’t handle my Intel fans any longer. A fanless notebook?
yes please.
yes please.
I'm hoping because it has taken the so long to get these machines out that they'll be ready to rock n roll within a week of the announcement.
Haha. Let me dream...
Too be honest, this could be classed as 2nd generation. It’s a took a year longer than the M1 to be released, that’s normally a complete cycle in Apple world. Additionally, I’d expect Apple would have made architectural improvements to it.
Yeah, hopefully their QA has ironed out the first batch issues by now.
