Apple Store Down for Updates, MacBook Pro Refresh Specs Leaked?

[snowleopard13]

Do you guys think there will be a BACK TO SCHOOL promotion this year? For me it would really be an extra % off, because i would sell it as i have an iPhone and 2 iPods. But i would byte my ass off if i wait till june and then there's no promotion 🙄

Not per se. If you want to watch a bluray movie on the go (in your car, ...), you probably don't take a 21.5" or 27" iMac into your car with an external supply of giant kick-ass batteries to power your iMac... You just take a laptop to watch it...

download the movie...

i'm pretty certain the 13'' MacBook Pros will retain core 2 duo chips just a faster clock speed, perhaps even the same graphics or ATI on the higher end similar to how the iMacs are now done

It would be awesome if they gave away a free iPad

It's not going to happen, Intel does not have any quad-core mobile processors.

Edit: holy crap didn't realise this thread was already 5 pages long :O

Wrong they do.

This is what I will do if the MBPs aren't updated...

I would really love a back to school promotion that included a discount on iPads. I would probably trade in my big desktop PC and Macbook for a 15" MBP and iPad. 🙂

Sorry, can't believe it.

Sorry but it would be comical if these turned out the be C2D's...

Sorry, can't believe it.

Really? Seems perfectly logical.

If that's the case then the top spec 15 incher looks the best choice for me. Outrageously expensive though. 😎

download the movie...

Why pay twice for the same movie ? You have a blu-ray disk copy that cost 20$ already... Oh right "bag of hurt". 🙄

What's even the point in posting something like this? It is completely nonsensical.

Of course they will not be C2Ds.

I think they'll upgrade them to i3/i5's 😀

I can't imagine them keeping C2D'd in them!

 

[r3compile]

that will be great....quad cpu on 13 MBP....

None of the clock speeds match up with a quad core i7 on any of models, even the 15 or 17.

At best, we'll get dual core i7

NP 😛

Anyone think Final Cut Studio 4 will come out? TODAY

There are none.

Edit: Yes there are, I forgot 🙂

Everybody needs to chill. We are moments away from learning the truth.

The 820qm mentioned a few posts up is an i7 Quad Core: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=43124

4 cores, 8 threads, 1.73 Ghz, max turbo frequency of 3.06 Ghz

I don't think the mayor of Cupertino would appreciate his streets being painted red with the blood of Apple employees being dragged out of 1 Infinite loop to be slaughtered in front of Golden Idols as the masses turn their fury into rave madness.

In store availability?

How long after a refresh are systems typically available in store for pickup? Obviously, nobody will know for a fact till the store is back up. I was simply speaking historically about if there was a trend.

 

[Passenger88]

Yes one time, been waiting for this so long. Don't let us down 🙂)

I was thrown back by the 2GB of RAM in the first one.
