Ah, so it's not just me then. My guess is that once the current page reaches the number of posts per page it creates the link to the next (as yet empty) page.
Got a tip for us?

with all these rumours it seems we may see the macbook at WWDC event in June lets hope apple does not let us down by making a minor updates and the retaining the same form factor.
That Processor has a TDP of 45W which mean's it will be too hot for a 13' to handle.
Plus, I doubt Apple will put a Quad-Core in the 13'. It's how they sell the 15', by putting in discrete graphics and quad core in that powerhouse!
Though the 45W TDP is the max, so it could possibly be under clocked. Apple has done that before and would allow them to drop the voltage.
If they are getting rid of the 17(at least a possibility at this point) wouldnt upping the maximum specs on the 13 to a upper end quad core be feasible? If the 17 is gone, the 15 may get the 17s upgradability and the 13 may get the 15s upgradability
I doubt it, just for space and cooling concerns. The 15 and 17 both have two fans, whereas the 13 only has one, and not as much heatsink.
Those of you wondering why the thread sometimes show an extra page that doesn't exist, I've noticed in the past on other forums that when people delete their accounts or disappear somehow, so do their posts. What ends up happening then in longer threads such as this is that technically the thread should be that many pages long, except some posts aren't showing. That's why it always happens right before a new page starts.
I doubt this is the case, but what if the 13" is being taken out of the equation and the MacBookPro9,1 is actually the 15"? The idea that Apple will merge the 13" MacBook Pro and 13" MacBook Air in order to create a single 11" through 17" MacBook line has existed for a while. Thoughts?
I really can't see a 45w fitting in an airline chassis thin enough to pass off as a merging product line.
Why can't they 45w fit in a 13"? other companies manufacture their 13" laptops with dGPUs. Surely the lack of a dGPU, assumably no ODD and flash SSD would allow for an extra 10w of heat? If so I can see the base having a top of the range dual core, the midrange having the 35w quad core and then the following processor being BTO in the 13" but standard in the 15"
How much wattage does a dGPU use? Surely that has to be at least 10w?

I'm a kid, eagerly waiting to buy the 2012. Been saving and waiting since February when the early 2011's released
yeah it is lmao but i still got an iMac and iPad now I have to wait and see what the 13" macbook pro brings if apple gets rid of the 13" macbook pro i will tossing between a 13 inch macbook air or a 15" macbook pro i used to have a 17" hp pavilion the ugliest beast i ever owned both software vista and hardware the screen was too big, the 13" inch is a nice fit however the 15" may be too big for me too just have to wait and see what the year brings.
I'm a dj and music producer that is looking to upgrade from my good ol reliable Black Macbook. I just want to be able to run my Windows only software in Parallels without the fans going crazy, and over clocking the cpu. lol
I've been looking at 13 and 15" current MBPros and will be waiting for the next student promotion later this month, but the new 2012 models are intriguing.
The question is how much more will they cost than the current models at the Apple Store?

Within 100$ give or take the same price.
If i was in your position i would go for the 15" at least.
I think you are getting your watts mixed up. It's not 45 watts used, it's 45 watts of heat that is needed to be dissipated.
45W TDP (thermal design power)
It's pretty funky wording, and I only know it from having recently taken a heat transfer class.

I think we're going to see the 13' MBP and 13'MBA merged now.
There's really no need to keep both with so little between them. Apple will just follow it's policy of making it harder for the user to self-upgrade some parts (the only thing I don't like about my Air) and secondly, now with Thunderbolt, Apple can get rid of half the ports on the side of the 13' MBP and utilise adapters/hubs etc I personally wouldn't mind a small Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet and or USB 3 Hub but I don't think I'll be seeing a Thunderbolt to USB 3 hub anytime soon now that Apple will probably include USB 3 thanks to the new Ivy Bridge chipset naturally supporting USB 3.

I don't think the '1' in '9,1' indicates a 13" MacBook Pro. The MBP 6,1 is a 17", and the 2009 13" MBP was 5,5. It's more likely that the '1' reflects the order in which they were developed, or released.
Given that the CPU in this mystery MBP 9,1 is the one likely to be replacing the high-end 15/17" BTO CPU, this is most likely a 15" or 17" MBP.
Having said that, I would really like a 13" MBP with a monster 45W quad-core CPU (and dGPU please), but if the 13" gets a quad-core it is likely to be the 35W 3612QM.

I can't argue with that.
I doubt Apple would release the 15/17 inch models before the 13" though. So either they'll release them all together, or it'd suggest some kind of merge between the MBA and 13" MBP.
I just made a thread about evidence of 3 new MacBook Pro models found in a Mountain Lion kext file for audio configuration: https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=14861170
Apparently, all three models would have a single combined audio port that supports analog in/out and optical output only, just like the current 13" MBP has.

I like this article that 9to5mac put out, for all of those who may not have seen yet.

This just popped up on 9to5 Mac:
http://9to5mac.com/2012/05/14/apple-readies-revamped-15-inch-macbook-pro-retina-display-ultra-thin-design-and-super-fast-usb-3-3/
They have a pretty decent track record on their own reporting, they were the first to report that the 2008 MBP would be a machined unibody.
Basically it says that it will be a thinner design but not tapered, retina display, no optical drive, USB3 and two thunderbolt ports, and a dedicated GPU.

Yep, sold! Now hurry up and release it, please! I do still use my optical drive but granted not that much, so it's not a massive disappointment to me and I kind of expected it to happen with all the talk on here. Obviously all of this is still yet to be confirmed, though.

I mean, i could have wrote that same article without any kind of information coming from the "far-east" sources, to me it's like "tell them what they want to hear". Also they are censoring comments, LOL.
They say that they have seen or have direct knowledge of actual prototype cases that have those port cutouts. Like I said above when 9to5 actually posts "Here's some information we have" they're usually pretty accurate.
I think the increase in the new reports in the past 24 hours means that we are getting close to see the real thing in the market may be sooner than we think
