An update is expected to surface in the next weeks, but nothing is set in stones.
To give you better advise on what Mac you wanna get, you need to tell us what you need the Mac for.

i would be using it for final cut and logic mainly but needs to be portable i cannot really wait too long for this new machine and see that the core i5 chip would help me a lot. any idea of how the update would be introduced E.G conference would be highly appreciated.
I never stop wondering how this question is asked again and again and again...
And the answer is always the same.
"If you can't wait, wait, if not, buy it" Maybe you can change that little text bellow MacRumors:Forums logo and put: "If you can wait..."

It will be a silent update on a Tuesday.
Or Apple will hold another press event, but that is less likely right now.
For your use the 17" and the 15" will be good enough I think.
The new i5/7 CPUs will definitely speed up encoding processes, but Final Cut and Logic might not be faster due to that.
We have a 4-core Mac Pro and a 2-core PowerMac G5 at work, and Avid Media Composer seems to be slow on both machines, but maybe Final Cut and Logic can take advantage of multi-core machines much better now.
We don't know. Wait or don't.
This does say it best until thegoldenmackid awakes.
