Wish I was more excited. Most likely a 13-14" ARM Macbook Pro but no 16-inch ARM Macbook Pro
I just wanna see an official release date for Big Sur.
Well obviously it's been held, waiting for this event to launch simultaneously on both architectures...
Well certainly, but my point was that I am personally more interested in Big Sur than ARM-based MacBooks.
That's not what the latest rumors say, but YMMV....

I have been watching multiple YouTube prediction videos from the top vloggers who, as of yesterday, are saying a 16" MBP ARM is in the cards.
The only thing that disputes that is a leaked software page that talks about the new 16"MBP and its ties to Bootcamp which we are led to believe is an impossible inclusion in an ARM device.
So, I remain hopeful for a 16" ARM MBP announcement next week but still skeptical it will happen.

A good time to ask, Sam...
What needs to be announced for you to upgrade your current 16" MBP? Will you sell it and upgrade?

Unlikely. It'd have to beat an Nvidia 2070 tier graphics chip for me to consider it. Did you sell yours off? How much did you get?

Oh, if they ship with Micro-LED or OLED displays that would change my mind too. Super unlikely.

I sold off my 2019 13" MBP in anticipation of the 13" ARM. So that was a safe bet.
The 16" is all I have. I will put a bid in to sell it the day before the Apple event in anticipation of a 16" ARM announcement.
I would assume you will be in this thread when it is announced so don't be surprised if I ask you if it will be a substantial benefit to upgrade. The one big thing I am looking forward to is running with less heat. My lap burns with this 16" on it and I often have to use a laptop cooler beneath it.
In all, I could walk away from this event buying a 13" ARM for travel and a 16" ARM for my desktop.
I will let you know the value of my laptop in a few minutes. Be back...

This is from SELL YOUR MAC who doesn't always give the best price but is the best to deal with in my experience...

Yeah, that's a huge biggie!
I dunno. They have been talking micro-LED displays for a long time so it COULD happen.
You are right. Those are worth waiting for. However, it becomes a tough choice when you are working against getting the best value for a prior generation laptop purchase.
Let's see what next week brings. This is going to be the most exciting Apple event of the year.
I, and I mean this genuinely, love you man =)
What day do you need to ship by? And is there a penalty for cancelling?

You know, Sam...
I got nothing else. No family to support. No drug addiction. I am in the midst of a pandemic so I can't even go out and meet people.
But what do I have? My technology. And as long as I can afford to upgrade it by getting a reasonable price for my older gear (the same way the Apple iPhone upgrade works), why not go with it?

I think they give you 30 days to ship it. Best to get a price before the Apple event to lock in the best price.
No penalty if you cancel. You aren't giving them your credit card information or anything like that.
Oh....now I got you thinking....

No no no you misunderstand. In my group I am the toys r us kid. I'm the one spending my dough to have the latest and greatest. Usually with phones and game consoles and PC graphics cards. But you, my friend, always have me beat in this arena and I love to see it =) It's genuine.
And I just locked in $1685 for mine too. =) I may sell it even if they don't really beat my expectations. Cause they will eventually and this is less hassle than selling local. It's 60% of what I paid 355 days ago. That's not bad for a guaranteed no headache payday. I'm sure I could get $2k on the street but that $300 might break me dealing with randos.
You guys slay me
