Oops!
Either way, no redesign by september.
If there is, God help us all if they make the MBP more consumer like.

no redesign but a power boost?
Do you think the new MacBook come with an HDMI port?
I hope that both the MB and the MBP will come with an HDMI port.![]()
While it would be nice, Apple hasn't made that change yet. Plus when they do that you lose component (s-video) output and VGA.
Nothing stopping them offering HDMI in addition to DVI
Is anyone else completely sick of hearing about the stupid iPhone? It's a fantastic device, but I personally cannot have one because I am stuck in a contract with Sprint. It seems as though Apple have totally lost interest in their Mac division, which, in my opinion, is the most important part of the company. The MacBook Pro's specs are falling sadly behind the industry, its case hasn't seen any attention in 7 years, and it still costs twice as much as a comparably equipped PC. I've always recommended and praised Apple for their superb hardware and operating system, but I don't know how much longer I can promote a computer company that devotes seemingly ALL its energy into the sales of a glitzy mobile phone.![]()
While i understand some of your frustration with hearing about the iPhone, which i cannot afford, and I am in a contract with Verizon, I disagree with the statement that Apple has forgotten about it's Mac division. The Pro's spec's were updated with the latest Intel processors a few months back, as were the MB's. A similarly equipped computer (to the MB, on dell's website) is actually more expensive, once you include the webcam, and other features. And the design of the pro is timeless. Other companies, like sony, are copying it's look. A kid in my class had a beautiful sony vaio, and it was almost a ripoff from a MBP. I think it is your perspective. Include the backlight keyboard, webcam, software comprable to iLife, and you will see that it is less expensive, or equally so, with buying a Mac. The other thing, is that with the other machines, you get windoze, while with a mac, you get OS X! The specs are about equal to the industry standards,is not falling behind, at least with it's laptops.
I've been dying to buy a new MacBook Pro before Sept 15 because I need a new computer and I want to take advantage of the free iPod Touch offer. Given this likely redesign, I'm now thinking about waiting. I'm new to the Apple rumors scene and I was wondering if anyone who's familiar with these things could tell me if the redesign is likely to come with a price increase. Or if it's worth giving up the free iPod Touch for. Thanks!
Yeah, i can remember last year as soon as the back to school promos ended they did speed bumps across a couple models, jerks.
Maybe someone around here has already noted this, BUT, if the photos circulating the rumor sites claiming to be the new case of the MacBook Pro is truely the new design, it doesn't appear to me to be the *MAJOR* revision some are hoping for.
Glad I bought the latest Penryn! I'll be able to enjoy this forum on my current MacBook Pro!
HAHA! Awesome! Razor thin laptops that can hold back whales!
"Computer. Computer? Hello, computer."
"Just use the keyboard."
"Keyboard. How quaint."
Agreed. I am still hoping for more of a refinement than a complete and very unnecessary overhaul. And I am on my knees praying that there is NO MacBook (consumer) keyboard that replaces the current (very Pro) one.
