I am planning on purchasing the new 2012 macbook pros, whenever they come out, and once the summer sale starts. I have been reading a lot of threads and am a bit confused about the rumors.

I like the 13inch macbook pro, but from what I read only the 15inch would get on update on april 24 (speculation of course). If this is true, do you think they will update the 13inch too during the summer.

I usually like selling my mac and buying the newest one every year, and I have always stuck with the 13inch.
 
Apple would probably update the 15" first and then the 13" when the dual core parts are available but I'm not sure.

What he said.

If you like the 13" then you should really consider the Air imo. Unless Apple makes their 13" MBP anywhere near decent as their 15"+

I agree. Unless Apple really muscles up the 13" MBP closer to 15" MBP levels, the performance gap between the 13" MBP and the 13" MBA is definitely not wide enough.
 
In all fairness, everyone would be confused now, because noone of us consumers knows anything, we just speculate and hope.

Oh rly?

I usually like getting the 13Pros because the retain their value and I usually sell them every year to get the new one. I guess I will do some research on how much the 13air retains their value and when those get updated. Hopefully i can just stick with the 13inch pro if they are update during the sumer.
 
Appleinsider has removed the information from the top of the page about the 15" Macbook Pro for some reason.
 
The fact remains that until Apple announces something, no one knows what is going to happen. Not people here, not appleinsider. They could be announced and available for order tomorrow (week before IB release like they did last year with SB MBPs) or they could come out later this summer. No one knows until it happens and no amount of rehashing or pontificating we do here is going to change that.

I thought Apple released Sandy Bridge MBPs in late Feb and the processors themselves came out in January?
