New top shelf 15" Macbook Pro configuration, late'09 (November):

New CPU: Intel Core i7 Mobile Extreme, 32 nm, 4 cores @ 3.06 Ghz, 12MB L2 cache, 1333 Mhz Bus
New RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1333 Mhz
New GPU: Dual nVidia GeForce GTX 280M (SLI), 55nm, 1GB GDDR3 x 2
New glass / anti-glare display (optional): 1900 x 1200 pixels
New superdrive, supporting Blu-ray
Hard Drive: choice of 256GB or 512GB SSD (no others available)
New two USB 3 on the left side and one on the right
SDHC/SD combo card reader on the left side
MiniDisplayPort to HDMI included in the package
OS: Snow Leopard
Other differencies: slightly smaller than the current model due to smaller screen edges (the black space will be almost gone).

Price: $1999 / £1299 / €1599

Leaked from a friend, who is a prophet and predicts the future for everyone in our village.
 
Can't say that I think that it will happen.
3 USB 3.0 ports???
USB 3.0's projected release date is late 2009, early 2010.

Also I don't think that the i7 will be clocked at 3.06 and also be an extreme edition.
 
I smell bull****.

Core i7, VERY SLIGHT chance Apple would be putting that in a Pro before 2010, and not at 3.06Ghz, way too hot.

8GB ram maybe.

No dual cards with 1GB, way too hot once again WAY too much power draw.

Screen yea.

NO BLU RAY. NO. NO. NO.

SSD standard? Highly unlikely.

USB 3.0? Won't even be practical in 2009.

Smaller? Where you fitting all this?

Snow Leopard? Would be there.

AND DO YOU MEAN TO SAY THIS IS ALL AT $1999?! YOU ARE INSANE.
 
Now 4 cores has me more excited than anything else. Really about all these MBP need anyway. But bottom line show me the money

What throws me off more than anything is the price? All this at a discount compared to what we currently get?

That doesn't seem likely at all. It doesn't make sense for Apple to redesign the MBP because the Unibodys just came out at the end of 2008. Its going to be a few more years before Apple decides to do that. And not having much space around the screen doesn't make sense. There needs to be enough space to protect the display from being damaged.
 
Haha sorry bout that. This post just sent my n00b buster off. But I used profanity, so maybe I am the n00b; or the really edgy cool one of the group :cool:

But I mean come on look at those specs!! *dies

Sounds like a dream that'll never come true. Apple has become to cheap to include any type of adapters in there products:p . Not to mention that laptop would be way tooooo hot, and definitely not just $1999. Nice try though
 
card reader?! lol. it's making things look ugly, just like the majority of windows notebooks.

You are probably right. But, what if Apple actually did all of this and kept the price similar to what we are used to?

Would'nt their sales soar...curious of opinions

yes of course they would, but i dont think that it is possible.

EDIT: At least right now. in the future perhaps but the computer he's describing above is probably 2-3 years away at the earliest. not with all the components but the components that would give it similar performance to the one described.
 
So...some guy has probably gone to Alienware, configured the top specs of their 2" thick monster and then went hunting for the upgrades that would be coming in the very near future?

On another note...a superdrive came out to denote DVD burning...maybe a new name for Blu-ray burning?

Blu-drive? Hyperdrive?

They would have lower margin profit so that means it's not gonna happen.
