Well, maybe the new MBP family will appear later this week or next week after Macworld. Either way, whoever allowed the OP of this thread to make themselves believe that new MBP's would appear today because of some lack of inventory from stupid BB, it's your own fault. Don't be angry at anyone but yourself. This IS a rumor site afterall. :p

Well this was never an indication of a specific release date, just that BB stores are unable to order any additional inventory.
 
i checked my best buy... all mbp skus are still "ACTIVE" , i have 0 new skus, but. it is currently impossible for us to obtain a 17", i cant order one, no one has one period etc... i can easily get or have stock of every other model, with more comming in...


now the macbook book pros are still on the Eol "end of life" report. so an update is still comming, i dont expect the old models to become "deleted" or Discontinued till the new models are in our system.
 
so lets say the specs that people are speculaating that the new macbook pro should have .. is the 21.5 inch imac with 3.33 ghz core 2 duo still better ? :confused:

Depends on what you're using it for. If you need a desktop computer, it *might* be worth it. If you need a mobile computer, its not. I would post a more descriptive thread in the buying advice/tips forum after a good Mroogle search
 
apparently according to Italian Source there are new SKUs in the Italian systems but not US? uhhh something doesn't seem right to me.. comments?

There are new SKUs, which I cannot paste here, but which are inevitably the new MBPs.
I don't know if they are big or little speed bumps, or if they are whole new products: I just see new codes, I can guess it from their digits, nothing more.
More over there are some even more mysterious code and it's probably the new Air or maybe - less probably - an update to the MacPro.
But it is necessarily a matter of hours.
By the way, the SKUs of Aperture 3 is one of those new SKUs I saw.

the BB near me has 1 17" model according to the kid I just talked to an hr ago...but when I went online at the store there is none but he said the inventory is wrong and there is one left and he showed it to me...felt bad as I had no intention of buying :p
 
BB has stock in their warehouses all across north america. they have to, its impossible that they have none in their warehouses. and its very much possible that they are shifting to places where there is likelihood of selling them fast. even if new model comes out, BB has to ensure the old one sells out.

if for any reason a certain BB cant reorder them, its simply because they have decided that they are going to shift stock to a certain store and the particular store(s) that are reported as SKU being deleted may be too far out of reach of warehouse shift-ing and least likely to sell old models fast enough.

BB usually lags up to 2 weeks (fastest is 1 week) on new MBP to arrive in stores. so let's give this a rest, i assure you nothing is going to come out of this thread anymore.....

lest a BB employ can post new pics of NEW SKU, i suggest you collaborate and follow this thread instead: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/858865/

your sig is great with the updates
 
Just think for a second. Maybe the only update at the moment could possibly be the 17 inch? Remember when the unibody's first came out the 17 was excluded. Maybe the faster chips only can go into the 17 due to heating issues and overall practical use? The people who will benefit the MOST from the processors are the people doing video editing etc. Just a thought.
 
So where is this Italian source that says a matter of hours?

its mentioned in the other thread. too late/lazy to sift through pages. nothing concrete, same site as yesterday says the same italian says its matter of hours. bleh bleh bleh, im just trying to keep the audience in the loop :eek:
