MacBook Pro Prototypes and Design Details?

I really hope that they just include an updated version of the keyboard on the current MBP, I hate the keyboard on the MBA and MBs. I wouldn't want a smaller touchpad, but keeping the "boxy" shape on the current MBP is great. I guess we'll have to see what happens, but I'd be really pissed off if they put the "chiclet" keyboard on the MBP.
Because he said the Mac tablet would be here by about now oh wait
To be fair though, release dates do change from rumors' dates.
Bingo! That was exactly what I was thinking! Now I can see an actual mockup of it instead of it just being in my head.![3jpc95]()
Mockup
Note the plastic display cover doesn't dent or cover the wireless antennas. When closed it would be just a black macbook.
Completely agreed, especially for a larger notebook.
Midrange GPU, nothing higher. I can also see a low-end GPU in the low-end model (like the iMacs) especially if it's cheaper than $1999.
AppleInsider's, although if they nail the tablet, then I might change my mind.
How are you so sure?
I'll take that bet!
I don't think it's true, but I love the idea of the trackpad being a second screen.
(by the way, do you want to know where to send the cheque?)
Since when is that not real HD? Casio have just shown-off a 2-inch HD screen.
I very much doubt this. Current MBP is already less than 1 inch thin. This would make it half as thin. No way to jam a "Pro" into half the space as the latest model.
It would not be a half of an inch thin. They said a half an inch NARROWER, not a half an inch THINNER.....which could definitely be possible.
What do you think?
What do you guys think of the following (i.e., will they exist)
1. Black MBA keys?
2. Glass trackpad?
3. Tapered edges?
4. Quad-core for MBP?
And lastly, do you guys believe that a new MB or MBP will release by the 14th of October? Regardless of any of it's features, if it's the same as current model of MBP with a higher clock-core speed (for the sake of example) or whatever, do you guys see a new model releasing by the 14th?

First post on here, hope this is ok.

1, yes
2, hmmm , yes
3, no
4, no
before with a slice of luck , I'm hoping new mini's & notebooks this Tuesday
actually thats totally irrelevant to how the word was used here. thats like when you use the word as: I neglected my car and now the paint is peeling. NOT I neglected to do something.

Schweet, mine too, at least laptop. I'm excited, but I want quad-core and I think they may do it. Just not nahalem quad-core, but quad-core at that.
Either way though, a 2.8GHz core 2 duo would work fine for me too I suppose.
Something like this previously posted pic would be amazing!

I'm a web developer, sites and graphics mainly. I work primarily indoors, maybe venturing outdoors for 1 in 100 sessions (but sometimes indoor light glare does piss me off). I have worked with both matte and glossy screens and do not necessarily have a preference, though I do sometimes appreciate the deep blacks that I get with glossy.
What type of screen would be best for my type of work?

For some strange reason, I believe you. I've read your posts [predictions] before and you know somebody...
Take your pick. Unless you are going to be doing photoshopping/video touching up and require completely accurate colour display, then either will suit you.
I personally love glossy. I have a matte display, and the more I see my friend's glossy display, the more I want one. Richer colours and tricks the eye to make it appear sharper too.
as a student i have been waiting for these new mb and mbp FOREVER and they are finally coming out!
i am going to buy the new macbook the very minute it is released, if there is going to be a radical overhaul in january, i will be extremely distraught

same, i'm doing music and can make do with borrowing a dell just for internet and facebook but eventually i'll need logic and MAX/MSP etc... i was going to just wait for a new one but i've JUST seen Radiohead are accepting submissions of remixes of Reckoner and i'm fully desperate to start it NOW! ohhh decisions.
i really COULD do with quad core.
