New Macbook Pro specs

[kgmac]

Hi. I'm new here and I'm getting a mac laptop for graduation. I like the new Macbook, but it is too small for me so I'm looking at the low-end 15'' Macbook Pro when it is refreshed and i am wondering what the specs are going to be on it.

[livingfortoday]

It's going to be made out cheese. True. I saw some elevator photos.

Seriously, no one knows. Everything on here is just speculation. Wait and see.

And it floats, remaining suspending off of your desk. For better thermal management.

Now you're just being silly. The ice cream would melt due to all the heat from the quad-octocore processors!

Ooh. Really???
I didn't know they were releasing 8-core mobile versions of Tigerton Next Tuesday???

I heard it comes with a flux capacitor to power those quad-octocore processors. ;)

Also I heard it would be coming w/ a terabyte of ram and 1 teraHertz FSB. And 99 Petabytes or, perhaps, if we are lucky enough, we might see an exabyte of HD. Well, if Apple was to really surprise us, then we might even see a zettabyte of HD installed.

And apparently it will all be in a nice white case just like the MB :D

[coledog]

Rofl!!!!!!

[cube]

It also comes with a three-button trackpad.

[Deepdale]

And all the previously listed features will be offered at a stunning price of $899.00. Get those credit cards ready!

[netdog]

Low end?

2.33 with Santa Rosa chipset?
LED Monitor (almost certainly)
Some sort of Robson-related RAM (maybe a 16GB allocated part?)
A new dedicated graphics card.

Should be a great machine. My 2.33 is fantastic as is.

Nah, that's all too sensible for Apple.

Nope not likely. Most likely 2.2ghz

There is no 2.33ghz Santa Rosa/Socket P core 2 duo chip.

[kgmac]

thank u guys for ur genius predictions;)

[TheNakedMan]

I would almost buy a refurb of the current model when the new ones come out. They drop the prices so much...I was thinking of doing that instead of buying my macbook.

YOU SHOULD DO IT!

They will at least have santa rosa...just for the fact the macbooks have the same processor in them now.

T7700 runs at 2.4 Ghz

[maccam]

Lets not forget the video ram :D 16GB of Radeon XZ 9995 quad :eek: ;)

[xfiftyfour]

T7700 runs at 2.4 Ghz

Yeah but that'll be the high end.

It'll be the 2.2 replacing the 2.16 model now, and 2.4 replacing the 2.33. All standard with 160GB drives. Same RAM configs. LED, probably. New graphics card.

[kgmac]

thank u i might end up buying the old one if it comes down to that

To build on the simplicity of the Apple remote the keyboard will come with only 6 keys.

And if you and I are really lucky then the Hitachi 200GB 7200rpm drive will be an option.

[cube]

And if you and I are really lucky then the Hitachi 200GB 7200rpm drive will be an option.

Of course, because they just came out with a 250 gigger (not 7200 RPM).

[Diatribe]

Of course, because they just came out with a 250 gigger (not 7200 RPM).

Link to that? I thoght their 250GB 5400rpm drive was only due out in the 2H 2007.

But Dell/Alienware are already putting some 250/5400 in their laptops:

Ah, I thought you meant the Hitachi drives.

Sorry to destroy your hopes but the Fujitsu drives are 12.5mm high so they won't fit into Apple notebooks.

No, it will come with NO buttons. :D

[skye12]

New MBP will likely have bluetooth eyeball controls via contact lenses
with embedded microprocessors. Microsoft will copy in 10 years and
declare they invented it.

Seriously, I am waiting for new brighter led screens + new
leopard OS. Every couple years you just HAVE to wait for a revision like this.

DO NOT buy npw imo.

I heard those flux capacitor's also power the battery, so you don't ever go out of charge, so your totally wireless.

[drumforfun19]

No, it will come with NO buttons. :D

True, it's supposed to have a touch keyboard similar to the iphones. So the keyboard can always change for applications, and you have the choice of 10 keying or not.

... and don't forget the flux capacitors.

[cepler]

One thing is for sure, they'll be announced on Tuesday :)

[odinsride]

Do you have sources to back that up? or just guessing? lol

[coledog]

A. I'm hoping that you're right...
B. I 2nd the "backup" part...any special knowledge?

[MovieCutter]

Hi. I'm new here

No kidding

[netdog]

I'd bet on tomorrow or, at the latest, the next Tuesday.

[jeremy.king]

With the POWER6 just being announced by IBM, the powerbook G6 can't be far behind :eek: :D

[zioxide]

WD is now shipping their 250GB/5400rpm SATA Scorpio 2.5'' drive. Let's hope this is a BTO option :D

[kuebby]

I heard that instead of a screen it's going to have one of those systems where it has small lcd screens built into some sort of glasses. The the entire computer will be built into a wrist mounted control station.

But seriously, the new mbp will be a lot like the current one just slightly faster. (Obvious, I know.)

[tekmoe]

which tuesday...? tomorrow's tuesday? or next weeks tuesday? or next months tuesday?

...?

[BrianMR]

The question, as always, is which Tuesday?

Wooo! G6 Powerbook!!! Containing a miniature black hole as the heat sink. ;)

Oh, and not ALL of Apple's updates are released on a tuesday. Just the vast, vast majority. I believe we had a Wednesday release not too long ago of something... Threw us all!

So, just to screw with y'all for another 24 hours if this update doesn't happen within six...
Santa Rosa Macbook Pros This Wednesday!!!

Don't worry, it pains me too.

no doubt the next MBP will be great, I just wished they would make a 13'' MBP

God I miss that joke. :p

Why is it that I always get so excited about new Apple products? Last Tuesday I had that Christmas morning feeling when the store went down.

On another note, my 4-month-old wanted to go see the Macs down at Fry's last Friday. :D ;) My wife was at work, so we went together. It was a lot of fun, and we even have a pic (taken on the iSight, transfered over BT to my phone right there in the store :) ).

[klymr]

Anyone else notice the huge influx of MBP's on the Apple Store refurb page? They have 11 different ones to choose from, although some of those are the older ones (1.83ghz, 512MB RAM). Most of them are the newest ones though.

[coledog]

Yea...I noticed that too. I've been trying to find some sort of "pattern" when new things come out but it doesn't seem to be...

I'm betting they'll all be gone by the end of the day. :)
Darn good price!! That's where I got my MBP...

[pengu]

your 4 month old baby wanted to see them?

the first step is admitting you have a problem.

[coledog]

That kid is going to be a genius!!! (not of the Apple store people)

[klymr]

Hmm....I'm wondering now, buy the 17" MBP for $2300 or wait and buy they new one for $3300?

[jdechko]

Yeah, my wife didn't buy it either.
