15.4" MacBook in 2nd Quarter 2007?

They can keep it distinct from the MBP simply by continuing to include Intel integrated graphics and some of the really whizz-bang features like the illuminated keyboard and other masturbate-worthy perks.
Oh, and maybe LED backlights for the LCDs in the MBP, and conventional LCD tech for the MacBook.
By the time that 15" MacBook is out, I think the upcoming, new and improved integrated graphics is coming out. Doesn't sound exciting, but it's not going to be bad at all. I would actually upgrade my current MacBook to a MacBook with that integrated graphics chip when the time comes.
(Well, I was considering an upgrade to a MBP, but lets see what happens...)

I think this is a confused rumour. The reports are probably for the new Pro, not a normal 15.4" Macbook.
As has been pointed out, it's a Digitimes rumour. I wouldn't pay to much heed to it.
I see! I'm not quite versed enough in rumour stuff to know who to trust
they've got our hopes up too many times, only to have them dashed again.

Digitimes claims that Apple will be shipping 15.4" MacBooks in the second quarter of 2007:
Historically, Digitimes has not been very accurate with their predictions, but a number of recent Digitimes rumors have been corroborated, if not confirmed. (LED-backlit Laptops, Apple Notebook with Robson Caching)

I say bring it on! As an owner of a Power Book G4 and an owner of a Mac Pro 2.66, I was holding off on buying a new Mac Book Pro as I don't want to dish out over 2 grand for another Mac that would become obsolete in a matter of months, and I don't want a teeny-tiny Mac Book either. If a 15.4" Mac Book becomes available for roughly $1500, I'm on it like white on rice
I think this detracts greatly from the MBP range. An ultraportable 12" MBP would be a smarter move...
I would really prefer to see new MBP instead...
That's the content of over half the posts thus far for good reason. agreed.

If the next MBP comes out in April with LED backlighting, HDTV-ready resolution (1920x1200 preferably, for extra vertical real-estate) and all the Santa Rosa goodies (draft-N WiFi, Robson flash cache etc), then I'm buying one. I'm not waiting for Perryn or anything, but Santa Rosa is right around the corner.

yeah me too, a smaller MBP
i really don't see why Apple would release this. i would like to see it, but i doubt it will happen
I agree, a 12" MBP would be very nice.
What would a 15.4" MB entail? - basically a low spec MBP then, in white or black.
