are you planning on buying the 16" when it comes out, assuming the features from the leaks are all true?
Got a tip for us?

Vega 16 and 20 in the lower and higher stock models respectively, Navi replacing Vega as the BTO upgrades?
Apple's gotta build-in some profit generation somewhere, and this could be the place where it pisses off people the least. Hopefully reasonably priced.
I'm planning on getting it asap! 16 inch is perfect for me (prefer it over 16.4). That and a 'normal' keyboard are enough for me.
Approaching 09:00 PST today:
Though 'not Navi' would almost certainly cause some consternation here, I think just finally moving on from the Polaris chips would be a cause for celebration!
Please people,buy it when it comes available..Apple needs our money,lets keep it out of bankruptcy
Doesn't make any sense since Vega is the more expensive chip to make. I expect to see Navi across all the models, but with different configs. Maybe even some HBM variant on the high-end, if they can make it reasonably faster than GDDR6
What I would like for this update:
- 64/128 GB RAM option
- Touch bar optional
- Keyboard without any issues
- HDMI port
- Add a few USB-A ports
What I think we will actually get:
- Brighter display
- Slightly better keyboard
- Still max 32 GB RAM
- Touch bar will be non-optional
- No HDMI or USB-A ports

Isn't usually around 4:00 PST when its a press release or just an update in the store? 9:00 or 10:00 PST is when we have keynotes. I might be mistaken though...
nothing is confirmed for this upcoming model...but lets hope for wifi 6 since there are already apple product and other that already have this
The model has yet to be released by apple, any talk about its specifications is speculation.
I worded it badly, I guess I should have asked whether there were any rumours about WiFi6 on this? I have heard about screen size, louder speakers, keyboard and the noise cancelling mic but nothing about WiFi 6
.
I've not heard of any rumors, we'll find out later perhaps, but if I was a betting man, I'd say no. In some things, Apple is a trailblazer (USB-C), and other areas it waits a long time before embracing a standard.
MacBook 16,1 appears on GeekBench (can't verify the credibility)
i9-9980HK (8 cores)
32GB of RAM

It seems I was right
The "official" 5500 has 22 compute units, but I long suspected that Apple would get a perfect chip with all CUs enabled.
Who's been thinking about the configuration they're getting?
I think if the options of the 15" also apply to the 16", I'm getting the base 8 core with the 1 TB drive. Currently, I've got a 512 GB with 95 gigs free, and the 1 tera would leave a lot of headroom.

The 103052 opencl score is great. My 5k imac with AMD RADEON R9 M395X scores 75580. And this laptop annihilates my desktop by 40%... Lets wait and see...
