I just called a whole bunch of Best Buy stores in Florida and in California (I thought they were far apart enough to rely on factors other than location to confirm everyone's assumptions), and they all told me that they do not have any 17" MBP models in stock, and that the most 15" MBP any store (of the ones I called) had on hand was 5. They were told by their supplier that they won't get new MBPs until around 21 days max, which leads me to believe that they will be getting new models within 21 days, as their current stock is practically depleted. In Apple language, this means an updated MBP is about to hit stores. Just thought I would share this piece of information; nothing new, but it confirms that Best Buy's deletion of the 13" and 15" models is not a glitch (as some joked), but, I think, a great indicator of what is to come within the next 21 days.
Got a tip for us?

That means maybe we will get a new MBP by March 1st??? I sure hope so. It would be nice if they slide the price down a little too, but that may be asking too much.
Why do I get the feeling I know you?
im thinking anywhere from the 18th to the 26th of february if the buyers guide is too go by if you consider there are 9 days left on the macbook airs average life span and the last time apple released a macbook pro in february it was the 26th. However this probably isnt accurate i can see apple making us wait into march so that it ties in possibly with the launch of the ipad maybe???
i don't really have a clue all we can say is sit on your cash until it comes out, today was a bit of a let down but the macbook pro will eventually be released apple has a few products reaching the end of their product cycle.

I think A's claims are rather interesting... does corroborate update speculations... can't wait until the end of February!
This is a sign of an update but the timeframe is inaccurate. We all know that MBPs will get updated soon but nobody knows when. It could've happened today or it can happen in April
Can't Wait !
I really hope it comes out at march .... My Birthday yay ! LoL
but ya cant wait lol

No. Not another one of these threads.
Just go an buy one right now. It's not like the minor speed difference is gonna kill you.

If you're interested in resale value, wait. A year and half from now a Core i5/i7 MBP will have held its value well; a Core2Duo system will not be desirable.
