15/17-Inch MacBook Pro Specs: AMD GPU, Quad Core i7

.. I am aware. But why would they put a slower i7 dual core in with the faster GPU and the faster quad core in the machine with the slower GPU?
Can't wait for store to come back up
I want to see the true list of specs in English. Quad Core, 4gb ram minimum sounds very nice. Really closing in on the desktops. Let's hope the 13" gets the same.
15" and 17" are rather big in my book, for true portability. I am now tossed between an iMac and macbook pro.
Wonder if the iMac will indeed be updated today?
I may have a job soon - so you know a new computer may be in the plans. I love my 2008 white macbook, and it runs great. But I need more hard drive space and also more ram. Holding off on both for now. If I am going to spend $200 or so on an upgrade... May be just able to hold out a little longer for a new machine...

I think he means the over all development of LightPeak implementation with products.

No I got it, I wasn't the jerk-off that made the post with all the elipses!!! GD I'm ready to buy my new Mac!! Argghhhhh.
Oh, anyone have SSD recommendations cause I don't wanna BTO. From what I've seen the Intel and OWC's seem to be favorites

SuperDrive? 16GB SSD for OS X??
What the heck is going on around here?! Oh, that's right... it's a rumors site. I'll wait for the store to come back up before making any analytical leaps

Yeah, they give you one Thonderbolt with each MBP
can you trim down the picture? its a little obnoxious
Dual Core is typo - sure
But if this turns out to be true I will be doing my shopping soon!
GPU was the only thing on the 'meh...' side - but with 6750 1Gb I am all in

I use an OCZ Vertex 2 160GB SSD in the macbook pro 15", works amazing.
...
It went back up at 1.30 GMT or so last year (when they refreshed the MBP's with arrandale) FWIW,
ie 32 mins from now.

Except that if you go to Intel own forums they (by that I mean INTEL EMPLOYEES) explain that the CPU is OpenCL compatible but the GPU isn't, but will probably be with the next generation.
Typical that today of all days I forgot to bring my wallet with me.
I'll have to settle for a desktop apple slice until tomorrow

Just did that - didn't look at the res the moment I was posting it
Absolutely!!! My Fireface UC is the single best piece of gear I've ever purchased!!! I run live guitar looping, via a MIDI foot controller, on my old C2D desktop in Ableton Live at 64 samples no prob...with only one gig of ram!! Lightpeak implemented by RME would KILL!
