The wait for the new MacBook Pro is agonizing but I am convinced it will sell like hotcakes when it finally comes out.

I'm wondering how many ports they are going to remove. Fingers crossed they will keep plain HDMI and not make us go back to Thunderbolt / MiniDisplayPort.

(Oh, and it'd be nice if they did something about the potential for Thunderbolt viruses...)

What do you think is taking so long? I'm waiting too - it's hard :).
Firmware weirdness with skylake.

Something about how it handles suspend, I remember the linux kernel having massive problems too, and they don't employ the same level of power saving optimisations as Apple do.

The Surface Book had power management-related firmware weirdness for its first couple of months as well. That said, Microsoft had it fixed by ~January-February as I recall it.
Just sold my 2013 15" MBP in anticipation!
