Well it was discussed at length in the other forum... Macrumors has its own source from Apple or Apple retailers... Anyhow I don't think it's going to be more amazing than this. It's probably going to be the cheapest MBP.
You'll probably have to read the small print as well. For example, 3 GBit/sec SATA needs ten bits to transfer an eight bit byte, so that is 300 MByte/sec. Quite likely there is something similar with LightPeak.
It uses Core i5... What else do you expect? I want more too, but I don't think there's enough room for a dedicated graphic card
Anyway I still think this is a very significant improvement over the last model... Core 2 Duo is supposed to be out 18 months ago...
And the Australia store is down as well =)
I'm going to take a shower and watch an episode or two of my favourite TV show, then we'll see if it's back up...

256mb wont hold the texture cache for WoW (or almost any modern games), so these new macbooks will struggle to run WoW on even medium settings, however my early 08 macbook pro, with the 8600m GT 512mb runs with all settings (bar water that i turn down one notch) on highest runs fine.
And Starcraft 2 will probably need lowest texture settings.
love the apple logic on this one, lets save a few pennies and raise our profits by cutting corners, people will still buy it because its pretty,
are becoming more abut brand than quality/performance than ever before, im not a happy mac owner at the moment.
I'm just hoping they will be updating now, or else I'll have to wait until tonight. It's Thursday 24th and the time is 11:41 am here in Denmark (Scandinavia)!

Specs for 15 are out:
6490M 256mb of GPU slower than current graphic card. No SSD+HD combo either just a regular 5400rpm 500gb hard drive. this update is very disappointing.

Guess ThunderCats was already
On a side note, just how hard will Intel push this new standard? I haven't seen jack in upcoming consumer items that make mention of supporting this port (and some of my friends are big into cameras and the like)
Yes, this spec is really lame. Most of the people will still buy it anyway. So hoping for an SSD high end Version with decent graphics..., but I don't believe it anymore.
