Apple to announce new MacBooks as soon as this month

17 October 2016
A new report out of Japan points to a Chinese source which makes a couple of claims surrounding the MacBook lineup refresh that we are expecting to happen quite soon. A new MacBook Pro lineup will be announced this month with retailers receiving shipments in October as well. This new lineup will replace the existing (and outdated) MacBook Pro lineup which is in desperate need of a refresh.

Can u sell it to me. i am in very need of a macbook

    Anonymous, 18 Oct 2016I would rather wait for this release of the new MacBooks. I... moreYah I'm sure it will be nice. There's a bunch of laptops around with the touch screen strips on their keyboards . I think the new macbook will go with something like that. I've been lucky with windows 10 which is funny considering I built the system on my own. Granted it has the best brand parts. It was built for gaming really.

      AnonD-237590, 18 Oct 2016i own win10, but trust me MacBook and its OS are much more ... moreMy taste is opposite.

      Mobiles - Android
      Computers - Mac

      I hate iOS because unlike Mac, doesn't have a file manager and torrent apps. MacBooks have both. I just find it odd that iPhones get more attention when its media manager is basically iTunes all the time. Android is the least stable but it has those features. Now Windows I am beginning to hate on computers. It hangs like Android does for me on occasion. But then on phones, it is actually smooth and hang-free.

      So I prefer Android on mobile because it acts like personal computer with good ol' drag and drop. I prefer iOS the least even behind Windows Phone. I prefer Mac OSX over Windows. I prefer Windows Phone experience than the desktop one. Nothing is perfect out there. I can't stand Apple as a brand BUT I will say since they started off as a computer manufacturer first, they excel better on it. Leave the phones to Motorola and Nokia because iOS is watered-down Mac OSX that is crippled by iTunes. It serves as the entry-level for Apple since customers depend so much on subsidized and installments while MacBook Airs with 13h battery life is something way better than any an iPad Pro and iPhone could ever do.

      True Apple Computer should be found on computers.

        Anonymous, 18 Oct 2016iPad Pro can NOT replace MacBook Air!yuuuup, but Apple doesn't care

        they just want your money
        either way, here's to hoping these newest airBooks keep their analog audio out... assuming that the current generation still has it

                krystian, 18 Oct 2016There's a lot of premium notebooks/2-in-1's in the windows ... moreI would rather wait for this release of the new MacBooks. I'm really happy with my MacBook Air now. I used it 2 years and it works like at day 1 or even better because Apple doesn't include that many new features on mac, but is steadily ironing out bugs for a better experience.

                  AnonD-599194, 18 Oct 2016But will it run Minecraft? Yes, with 50 mods, shaders, and hi res resource pack at 1440p@240fps fluid.

It's just with a larger user base you will see more issues on windows. Now I would say windows 7 was more reliable because well windows 10 isn't finished yet. Redstone 2 will be sort of the foundation and then they will keep adding features and updating it after. Even the control panel settings and everything haven't been moved over. New File explorer hasn't been put in place. Still some time to go. But they hope to accomplish that in a year.

                        AnonD-237590, 18 Oct 2016Its time to replace my 4 years old MacBook Air There's a lot of premium notebooks/2-in-1's in the windows 10 world. You should give those a try if you're looking to save some money but still have great hardware. I'm surprised at how quality has really gone up in the "PC" world thanks to macs setting the bar.
