2018 Macbook Pros launched

[Snoweagle]

Does anyone know if the new sleeves and leather case will fit the 2015 MBP, or only the new ones with TB?

Likely a new MacBook Air variant is possible. If not then a Mac mini? Typically they can’t launch anything more solid than MacBook Pro. Imagine a MacBook Air with touch screen appear. Everyone sure kaopaykaobu

Craig has mentioned many times there won’t be a touch screen Mac.

think only the TB versions.

the dimensions are very different. you can see the video, the person got a hard time fitting his MBP into the sleeve, can tell how tightly fitted it is for the TB version.

Actually I love the iPad Pro but the keyboard sucks and the OS (usage is like a big iPhone). Not really full fledge Mac although extremely powerful

USB-C is not professional.

Specs wise it is, though there's no way to determine if the thermals can handle the i9 and 560X without tests.

And you probably need an eGPU for heavy graphical work (you need thunderbolt 3 for that).

Why don’t buy from Apple store directly?

 

[TrueBeliever_jh]

think not everyone wanna go down to Orchard road to take a look at the new model.

but here's the thing. the model is exactly the same as last year's.

and one thing is that if you choose the base model, you can probably buy directly. no need to wait for delivery.

Personally I've always enjoyed the buying experience at the applestore

For customized unit, I presume we have to pre-order and wait for delivery?

Yeap. Pre-order online and wait for delivery. Or via pick up at the Apple Orchard Road if the pick up option is available upon the checkout online.

Satechi Aluminum Multi-Port Adapter V2

i think it ll charge slower.

the 13"models uses a 61w charger whilst the 15"uses 87w charger.

however, u still have 3 other ports to plug ur charger into so its no problem la.....lol
