This is the most powerful option:
X 13,3" 2560x1600 or 15" 2880x1800 screen.
V Intel Core i7 6920HQ 2.9GHz, 8Mb L3 cache.
X 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory. Not upgradable.
V dGPU: Radeon Pro 460. 4GB GDDR5. Not upgradable.
V APU: Intel HD Graphics 530
V 1TB PCIe SSD
X 4x Thunderbolt 3 ports. Using to "Alpine Ridge", one of them in a slow PCI Express 2.0 instead PCI Express 3.0
X 867Mbps 802.11ac Wi-Fi instead MacBook Pro 2015 with 1.3Gbps.
? No MagSafe, but USB-C 61Watt charger.
X Short extension cord, need to buy separate extender if want a larger one.
X Touch Bar & Touch ID pathetic crap. Annoyingly sensitive touchpad.
X 3,499 USD
Some facts:
1. The current situation about evolution of transistor integration sucks a lot:
- Tere's lots issues reaching 10nm at high power and newer high end CPUs will still be 14nm. They'll be no worth it.
- 7nm seems quite challenging.
2. There's 17.3" 3840x2160 (UHD) IPS screens, much better than Apple ones.
3. I had issues finding options about having 32GB of RAM with LPDDR4 2667MHz modules.
My recommendation: Wait for Kaby Lake chips at least, but I would highly recommend wait for high power 10nm CPUs but those will be problematic to have until late 2017 or 2018
