>15" models have dedicated GPUs
>13" stuck to onboard
But why?

>>57295358
False. i5 vPro is hot sauce.

>>57295465
Battery and heat dissipation.
Iris graphics is enough for browsing facebook and hacking your terminal at 1600p and even good for plaing games like HL2 at max settings in 1080p.

Also, you guys don't really think that Apple decides what processors Intel would manufacture. All Intel 15-28W TDP mobile cpus are 2-core with hyperthreading.

Hey, my mobile i5 is good. I wouldn't pay 2000 dollars for one, though.

Kaby Lake isn't fully launched.

>>57295338

On top of that it's a shitty Skylake CPU with shitty GPU.

$1500 for a year old CPU and literally no usable i/o wtfffff

>>57295338
You don't need more than 2 cores anyway

>>57295597
b-but Apple almost always get a head start of Intel's latest offering.. since Intel Core Solo

>>57295358
Difference between mobile dual core i5s and i7s is like 5%.

Only the quad core i7s have any noticeable performance improvements

tech nigger just did a review of the low-tier model
and it shows how he does not give a fuck about money
and only what the laptop 'has to offer'

>>57295619
Is the current CEO is at fault why Apple is heading in such direction?

I just want Macbook Pro like the old days of Powerbooks.

>>57295650
Lmao, even Linus shill tips also said he liked. He called them out for only having a dual core in the 13" model but other than that he was all over it.

Do you retards realise, it is not possible to stick a 45W cpu in a 13 inch ultrabook? Impossible, Noone did it before, because it will lead to heat issues.

>>57295635
They can't get what Intel isn't making.

>>57295358
yeah only that meme hyperthreading feature that means it's an i7 makes it good enough for me friend.

>>57295711
The MacBook Pro shouldn't be an ultrabook. It should be a 13" workstation laptop.

>>57295338
name one 13" notebook with quad core CPU and dedicated GPU (that is not thicker than OP's mom's ass)

>>57295757
There were no 13" workstaions before, and I doubt Apple would even think of making one.

>>57295781
There have been 14" mobile workstations. There's little reason Apple can't put an M1000M equivalent GPU and a quad core in the 13" MBP.

great plan m8

>>57295641
Both suck, the quad core i7 is the only good processor

>>57295851
depends on what you do.

I get by on a mobile dual core i5 since 2012. Programming, one or two VMs not a problem

I don't do any video editing or gaming (on that machine) tho

No, they wouldn't. If you need or want a thinner laptop than the older MBPs, buy a MacBook.
>99.5% of their target audience wouldn't care
They already have their toy.

They might as well call it the MacBook Plus. It's not even slightly Pro.

the workstation GPU's aren't any bigger than the gaming ones

>>57295981
>the first gen of rMBP's weren't thick and they had a 650m
only the 15" ones.

The 15" always had a dedicated GPU and the 2016 does as well

but that's worse than any mbp for gaming

>>57295338

Is a chromebook, such as the Acer R13 that costs $400, better than one of these?

>>57296476
explain how that chassis can cool anything more than 30W and offer 10h battery life

>>57296621
So what, It's not quad-core with dedicated graphics as this /v/edditor implied

The thing that's more sad is that in 2016 barely anything takes advantage of a quad core. A dual core is more than enough even in modern day gaming.

Hasn't intel graphics improved a lot over the last few years? Top of the line models almost approach mid-range graphics card performance just looking at benchmarks

>>57295338
Anything over $700=unacceptable if no dedicated card

ehuehuehue
AMD and 16GiB DDR3

Meanwhile the new Razor Blade has desktop class graphics ddr4 and quad core for less.

>>57297100
lpddr3 is not ddr3.
lpddr3 is way more expensive than ddr4.
ddr4 does need way more power, cooling and space.

>>57297100
Yea, but it's hideous gamer shit.

>my electronics are a fashion statement
