Can't wait for the re-design coming October 2011.
How do you know it will be October? I'll crap my pants if you're right!

Because the last redesign was October 2008.
The best thing would be the removal of the ODD - taken it's place a better heatsink/fan operation for cooler operating temperatures, AND a way bigger battery. Imagine using that 1/3 of the current size for a 1/3 increase in battery capacity.
Apple redesigns their iMacs and Macbook Pros every 8-10 months. Which in my opinion isn't really a good thing. I wouldn't want my $1000+ laptop to become obsolete in under a YEAR. --_-- Apple should keep it according to their iOS yearly update timeline.![]()
For some reason, I highly doubt it'll be in 2011, I see 2012 as the year of the redesign.
Perhaps you're right, or not. Only Apple knows - really. Hope for a new release in October myself.

-There won't be a late 2011 redesign. Ivy Bridge isn't due till Q1/Q2 2012.
-SSDs are still a premium to have as the sole storage option in a MBP.
-USB 3.0 WILL come with Ivy Bridge updates.
-There's no way Ethernet will go away on a Pro machine
-Curious...if you yank MDP how will the laptop connect to external displays?
-2 Cameras on a laptop is unlikely. If you want that feature get an iPhone/iPad
-No reason to remove AG option, we're paying for it and so it's no extra cost to them
- - Thunderbolt can replace ethernet too, and the only thing apple loves more than making amazing computers is selling small, white adapters.[/QUOTE]

Is it possible to see the Case Redesign before Ivy Bridge? I know it sounds crazy ... but I'm not sure why people are assuming that both will come at the same time.
I don't know much about how the industrial design process works for these kinds of things, but if Apple is indeed working on a redesign, I imagine they are probably working with Sandy Bridge processors for the prototype designs ... Why not release the case redesign with some better spec'ed Sandy Bridge processors? And then once Ivy Bridge hits, they can do a refresh ...
Since Ivy Bridge is supposed to have USB 3.0 support, is there any chance ivy bridge macbooks may NOT have USB 3.0 in favor of Thunderbolt?
https://www.macrumors.com/2010/10/31/steve-jobs-usb-3-not-taking-off-at-this-time/Does Intel basically force apple to include USB 3.0 on the chips or can apple somehow modify the chip or request USB 2.0?
Because Apple will do the same thing they did last year with Arrandale. Intel will release barely higher clocked processors and Apple will just offer a build to order option. Apple's refreshes post Core 2 Duo era have always been in tandem with Intel's next generation processor releases.Care to elaborate why you think so?
- Fine, Sandy Bridge + Redesign in October, Ivy refresh in Q3 2012.
- Thunderbolt is basically a MDP, in fact, you can connect two monitors with the same thunderbolt port, so there's no need to have them both.
- the two cameras are both front facing. That's why they are in the "wild hopes section - 3D FaceTime! Just like Avatar!
- I hope the AG doesn't go away.
- Thunderbolt can replace ethernet too, and the only thing apple loves more than making amazing computers is selling small, white adapters.
