you don't need a thunderbolt thumb drive ba? what for you need a 10gbps transfer rate for a 64GB or 128GB thumb drive..

even with thunderbolt SSD drive, the cost is > 350USD for a 128GB drive, can't imagine you want a thumb drive size..

some sharing for your information

prepare to be poorfag..

Dun wan wait for the skylake version? Haha.

I'm user of rmbp13' mid 2014 - spec was 128gb + 8gb ram - lately was feeling to upgrade my laptop - either adding ssd or ram or whatsoever - but after check it's unable to do it -

I was very satisfy with the rmbp - but due to unable to upgrade was thinking to change it to razor, however due to the price is not that cheap will planning to test it - anyone could advise where can I test this razor blade QHD+.

Would like to get more comment on this - whether to change or not.

The reason why want to change is - there isn't any specific reason to change it - maybe is just to try out different product

Another weakness of this razer: doesn't have SD card slot

just look thru the razer blade stealth - it seem great.. will need this kind of ultrabooks

Dual core i5 broadwell vs quad core i7 haswell, use mainly for video editing. I'm undecided. 13"'s portability is definitely a win, but I don't mind the extra tad bit of weight and screen if the processor power is useful for my work.

Thanks for the input, not sure it's the dual-core or 8GB ram issue though. Anyway I'm already leaning towards the 15". Would rather ease my work and sacrifice some portability.

Hang on. When you say BASE MODEL, do you mean the one with the 500GB HDD?

Your experience sounds odd. Are you editing with Premiere CC? Maybe OpenCL wasn't fully implemented at the time.

I recall building a monster (desktop) for AE early 2014. I remember OpenCL wasn't ready yet because we decided not to go for a Mac Pro and I had to have HW acceleration. I suspect this resulted in your poor experience.

I believe if you were to try a MBP 13 with AE/PP + OpenCL, you might find the RT performance on par with the MB 12 since they have almost the same graphics performance, with the added advantage of faster render times.

The only thing better than the MBP 13 is the MBP 15 with discrete graphics.

Skylake Mac Notebooks May See Staggered Launch in 2016, Led by MacBook and 13" MacBook Pro
Thursday January 28, 2016 7:55 am PST by Joe Rossignol
Apple is expected to refresh its MacBook lineup in 2016 with Intel's faster Skylake processors and Thunderbolt 3 with USB-C, and supply chain sources now indicate the updated notebooks may see a staggered launch throughout the year.

The company's manufacturing partners are expected to start producing new 12-inch MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro models around late March or early April, followed by 15-inch MacBook Pro models in the third quarter, according to the sometimes-reliable Taiwanese website DigiTimes.

If accurate, new 12-inch MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro models could debut at Apple's rumored March media event, alongside the new 4-inch iPhone, iPad Air 3, and Apple Watch updates, or at WWDC, likely scheduled for mid-June. Smaller updates could also be announced at any time via press release.

The larger 15-inch MacBook Pro may not be launched until after WWDC, however, as the third quarter translates to between July and September. While that seems questionable, Apple may elect to announce a new 15-inch MacBook Pro at WWDC and begin shipping the notebook later in the year.

Last year, Apple refreshed the 13-inch MacBook Pro in March, but its 15-inch sibling was not updated until May. For this reason, the 13-inch model is classified as Early 2015, and the 15-inch model is Mid 2015. Both notebooks received Force Touch trackpads, faster flash storage, longer battery life, and improved graphics.

The Early 2015 13-inch MacBook Pro is based on Intel's newer Broadwell chip architecture, while the 15-inch model still has older Haswell architecture. Since then, Intel has announced Skylake chips appropriate for the 13-inch MacBook Pro in September and 15-inch MacBook Pro earlier this week.

Given that Skylake chips have been announced for both the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro, there does not appear to be any reason for Apple to stagger the release of its notebooks this year. But, perhaps in line with its 2015 release cycle, Apple may plan to give the current 15-inch MacBook Pro a longer shelf life before replacing it.

Intel also announced Skylake chips appropriate for the 12-inch MacBook and MacBook Airs throughout 2015, so it is likely we will see Mac updates across the board over the coming months. The report also claims a new iMac will be released in 2016, but an update is unlikely until later in the year.

5-6 months, Apple's QC has really dropped... i'm considering selling the new replacement off and getting a Surface Pro 4 instead now..

Only if the damn thing worked as advertised.

Received my brand new replacement. Ahh.. I like unboxing and unwrapping new stuffs.. But I'll wait a couple more days for offers. If none comes I'll have no choice but to remain with Apple again...

lol sorry comes together with the rMBP 
lol interested? but you sold off your rMBP because you wanted the rMB right 

Mine is just the adapter for micro sd la lol, you can use any SD card without adapter as well.
You can convince me by buying the whole bundle 

R9 user here, Hello

Let say if a new macbookpro announced in March, how long usually it takes to arrive for sale in Malaysia or Singapore?
