Core i3 rarely mentioned here

[Buck987]

Everyone is mentioning i5 and i7 upgrades. Why not the i3 for the lower end macbooks?

It's entirely possible. Everyone mentions getting 13" MBPs with i5. I'll be laughing when Apple ships them with i3s instead.

 

[Bumble Bee]

i3's still arent that bad

wow if i3's are in there then i would rather take my $ elsewhere. all this hype about i5s and they throw i3s, i'd be so mad lol.

This would make you mad? yike! Personally, I would just go buy something else. Let apple pull another "pad" out of their product line

i3s clock for clock still beat their Core 2 Duo counterparts. Stop hating. Any prospective 13" MBP owners should be happy to even get Arrandale.

They should feel lucky that they even have a 13" mbp to begin with

Yeah they should feel "lucky" to not even get half of what their money is worth.

Correct, there is no guarantee the i5/i7 will make it into this upcoming release. Or it could only make it into higher end models, or really who knows at this point. Lot's of speculation, but nothing really firm.
