I am looking to get the 13inch model again but if they remove the DVD rom I will be tempted to wait for the next MacBook air update as its way thinner. I want the USB 3.0 port still I see no need for thunderbolt but I will take it seeing its there. I also would like a Retina display as Iam hooked to my iPad 3 but I highly doubt this will happen.
I personally think there won't be a 13 inch. I easily could be wrong though, they may keep it in place just for the name. But in my opinion it's too close to the Macbook Air.
Ouch dude. Spoke too soon?
The 9to5 article loks great. Here's a different article about them coming in June:

Based on Digitimes however

I would love to see them available in June
, however it seems from the article that they are still on testing.Would the delaying of Intel chips have a significant reasoning behind why the 15"/17" MBP geekbench score is listed as 9.1 (or whatever the abbreviation is).
Given that in the past the 13" hasn't always been .1, I think that is more than likely the case.

I'm having a hard time finding much to go off in judging the card. Apparently Kepler brings significant advantages with battery life and still provides great graphics, but I can't find much specifically about the 650.

Am I the only one hoping that they're not as thin as the MacBook air?
Much like the iPhone 4 compared to an iPod touch. I like the box sharp edge design. Doesn't feel so fragile.
Will the prices change or will they increase/decrease?

And why would we want it to be, if we want ultra thin we have the MacBook Air, the Pro is MacBook Pro is supposed to denote an emphasis on performance.
This obsession with making the Pros as thin as possible is so stupid, shall we try and crush the Mac Pro into the size of a Mac Mini at the expense of it's internals while we're at it?
Agreed to an extent. I don't mind them shrinking it so long as they keep performance. But as long as that is possible, then i say shrink it more and more. I have no qualms with a lighter, thinner, and faster computer.
It would make sense. Seeing as there has been rumors of Apple using liquid metal for the next iPhone. Why not just use it for all the products they're releasing this year? A liquid metal line up.

These was a report a couple weeks ago that Apple is still a couple years from really implementing liquid metal on a large scale.

One of my concerns is the fact I've invested in a lot of GRAID's which features USB 2.0, FW400/800, and eSata. They have thunderbolt drives available, but I don't want to ditch the ones I have now. FW800 is plenty fast for what I do, and now that port is gone on the MBP.
I wonder what I could do :/

At the end of the day Apple sacrifice 2 things; heat and GPU.
I am no hardcore gamer, but I'd rather the Pros stayed in their current form factor so that it could feature higher end graphics cards and run cooler. You could argue that gamers are less likely to need functional testicles and so the increased heat isn't as much of an issue but there you go.
