For those that are bored you can start refreshing the product pages around the time of the keynote
For example:
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/
or
http://www.apple.com/macpro/
These often get updated just before the store comes back up.
Got a tip for us?

At last a reasonable post
Why do people get their panties in a twist hating on Apple, if they do this or if they do that etc.etc.
There is always a reason why they do what they do.
Unless we were to work on X product inside Apple we don't know anything.
Is it really so hard to wait?
Mac Pro getting an upgrade is all I want!!!
After waiting for long, finally if Apple decides to look into its Mac Pro, I am pretty happy with it.
Also built to order retina display is a good option.
Very eager to see what cooks up in WWDC........ fingers crossed

Yes, yes it is. It's just a symptom of our modern-day-quick-fix-2-minute-noodles-twitter-attention society.
Codswallop. Haha. As above, im just looking forward to keeping up with a live blog come 18:00 GMT.
Well to each his own. I don't see it as a big deal. In fact, I went back to my iPad 2 after about a week with the new one because I hated the hit to battery life. And an iPad 2 is a lot less crisp than a MBA. And we haven't even mentioned how more graphics power is required to get the same performance. It all just seems like a gimmick to me, not something that's really a worthwhile design choice, objectively speaking.
Yes, it's massive depending on what you use the computer for. If it's just browsing the internet, then not so much.

For what its worth, I just spoke to an Apple store in the UK and enquired about the macbook pro and they confirmed you will be able to buy the new one on the website later today.
The person you talked to probably used MacRumors as their confirmation.
I had the Apple Store website up (I did not refresh)- about two minutes ago I opened the MacBook Pro page in a new tab and it says store down... did the same for Mac Pro and got store down.... the same for iMac and got store down...Mac Mini the normal page came up... MacBook Air the normal page came up- don't know what that means (probably nothing but a fluke), but curious nonetheless
I have an 11.6" MacBook Air (2011) and am not pining for a 15". If it's just a spec bump to Ivy Bridge and USB 3.0, I'll likely hold off until next year, but if they "surprise" with a 13" Retina Display option I will go for that. Asus is offering an 11.6" 1920x1028 display as an option, so it is certainly possible that Apple can boost the resolution without changing the chassis.
In any case, what seems more likely are some new accessories, like an updated Airport Express, and maybe a Time Capsule update to 802.11ac. My original Time Capsule is down to 95GB free, so if the notebook line is just spec-bumped, I may have some additional money for accessories.
I really believe there are going to announce new macbooks with a new slimmer design; you only have to look at the competition to realize that.
Not convinced
Perhaps the costs and technology are not ready, but if not this year then next year, the low end MBPs need to disappear into the MBAs. Even at this time, I see no reason for Apple continuing to build a MBP 13". If the SSD virtual drive size is not enough, then an external Thunderbolt connected drive is the solution.

Oh the irony
I'm finding it astonishing the amount of leaks and specs that have arisen before this event, especially after Cook specifically mentioned they would be doubling down on security. Although it's good for us rumour lovers and Apple fanboys, i question the security and administration functioning of Apple since Steve passed away.

So you're saying that there weren't any leaks when Steve was around? My memory says otherwise.
I really believe Apple wants to put the MBA in the same category as the new "Ultrabooks" so the Retina display might just be a BTO on the MB Pro.
It already is in the same category. It's actually the computer that started this whole little buzz. Intel looked at the success of it and said, "Let's have more of this" and hence they've encouraged the PC makers to start making them as well. It's a win-win for Intel no matter whether you choose PC or Mac.
What leaks? All we have are vague part numbers, links to very obvious betas, and blatantly false claims (this one.)
There were a lot worse leaks when Jobs was alive. Remember when Time leaked the new iMac?
I know it's just that everybody has been talking about this "slim" MB Pro.
The slimness stays with the Air not the Pro.
