MUST HAVE THE NEW SHINY.

A Macbook Pro refresh probably wouldn't bring noticeable performance improvements to anyone, but they'd feel better because the CPU was the model released this year even though it performs exactly the same as the one currently used.

That would make sense if everyone had the current model. Most people who want to upgrade have something older.

But that there is basically going to be no real performance difference between the current and whatever the refresh will be, getting the current is basically the same thing.

Performance is just one thing people look at. Power usage, display quality, keyboard, trackpad, etc. are all other possibilities.
