I'm gonna buy one of those when I get my MBP (after WWDC.. :D), a couple friends of mine have them, they utterly love em. Yeah, they're a bit expensive (I'm going with the cargo mambo combo, large, $300~), but they're made incredibly well. Well worth it, I'm told.

Thanks for the advice. Incidentally, why after WWDC?
 
If they update today I have a funny feeling they're just gonna go with Santa Rosa and keep the rest the same.

Ideally I'd love to see a small full-spec (ie. not LV or ULV chip-based) MBP. I'm not holding my breath though.
 
People are waiting for software updates that they're afraid they might miss out on if they buy MacBook Pros this week before WWDC, like any iLife updates that would be bundled, etc.

:apple:

Interesting. I think I'll do that too. :) After all, I only really need the MBP by the end of July, after I come back from Malaysia. I'd really like to see a new version of iLife!
 
hey i just noticed all the refurbished macbook pros are gone from the apple website..is this coz of the upcoming updates?
 
did u check just now? ..i swear these werent there about 1 hr ago...maybe they r updating the website now?
 
Hey, look at that. That refurbished MacBook Pro list was empty about 4 hours ago.

Its looking mighty likely, fellas!

:apple:
 
Rebate

I just bought my MB last week, does apple honor the new promotions on previous purchases?
 
so...if we technically dont see a good update..then what would the the supposed 2 hrs of keynote in WWDC be?it cant all be iPhone and Leopard..thats practically insane!

Well, it's a World Wide Developers Conference. So yes, it will be 90 minutes Leopard, 25 minutes XServe, five minutes iPod, Apple TV and iPhone. The eight core MacPros were important for developers because they can reduce compile times by fifty percent. A 1920 x 1280 10 inch screen that requires resolution independent drawing would be important for developers. But LCD screens with LED backlight are of no importance whatsoever to software developers.

So did I... I bought it last 22nd, May, though I didn't payed until last 1st, June (I chose wire transfer... so it takes a few days and I also purchased because a special discount for my university's students just ended, 1194 euros vs the normal student discount: 1302 euros).

And yesterday I received an e-mail saying that my MB (customised with 2 Gb. RAM and I also bought a bag) was sent... (now I can't check the status because it says that there's a scheduled maintenance going on :/). I guess it's been shipped from Shangai to The Netherlands because it has the "Merge in transit NL", and after googling a bit, I found the apecode website (which has been down the last few days).

Anyways... I would also like to know if Apple will honor the "on hiatus" purchases...
It would be really stupid returning the MB to buy another one... just to get the rebate while they can do it without me having to do that :p
 
Any of the current MacRumors members online now… what are you hoping for?

a mbp update that doesn't suck... :p


in my opinion

at least:
santa rosa platform
better GPU
lager HD
magnatic latch

would be cool:
led
robson turbo memory
