if i see any more threads about impending updates where the OP imparts some never before seen or heard super wisdom to randomly guess a date somewhere between today and 2010 I am going to go to the OP's house and turn on all their taps while they are out. I am then going to set fire to their shoes.
actually, make that any 'when can we expect updates/there's an update soon/i need an update/what do you guys think will be in the MBP update/I am a cocknosed geekboy with a tiny wang/today's the day!/store's down!/I'm going to kill myself b/w lack of updates (makes me blue)'
Mr. Jobs has one more week with me, because unfortunately I'm one of those people on a time schedule and need a new MBP at least by next week. I'll be looking into the refurbs if it doesn't happen, because it'll be over my dead body before I pay full price for something that's going to be updated in the near future.
I got tired of waiting and ordered a MacBook. Now it's much easier for me to read these rumors since I don't have to hold my breath any more
I will admit I too was a little excited this morning that we might see new MBP's today. However, I knew deep inside that we wouldn't. Lets face some facts here, Apple only does silent updates when they are just dropping in a new processor, often an updated clock speed. As we have seen with the iMac and the MBA, Apple is obviously in the process of redesigning their products to have a unique (Black and Aluminum) look that matches across product lines. If we are going to see the updates many of us would like to see, this is not going to come in a silent Tuesday update, it will come from a Steve note. The most likely time for a Steve note is going to be the 26th when the rumored iPhone SDK press event might happen, who knows MBPs might even be a ....one more thing.
So.... If you want any of the following, I wouldn't expect it until the 26th:
The Likely candidates:
-Peryn Processors
-Magnetic Latch
-New Keyboard (Black, like MBA)
-Multi-Touch trackpad
-LED Display for 17"
The Maybes:
-Updated Graphics
-More Memory
-Slimmer
-More USB Ports (This is what I am hoping for, so I added it to the list)
-Black Aluminum (or other colors for that matter)
-SSD BTO Option
-Hybrid SSD HD option
-Lighter
-13" version
-Anything I forgot?
So, don't get mad we didn't see new MBPs today, it is for good reason and a good sign that we may be getting a re-design. Which in my opinion is definitely something worth waiting for!
I disagree. What is going to happen is we will still wait until the 26th, and it will just be a plain jane chip bump.
Sigh. We need a stickied "anticipation" thread to reduce the clutter of new topics on this board.
I want a good design... they've been milking this Aluminum Powerbook Design for years... it's getting old!
Here's what I want...
1. Lighter! Its heavy now... let us carry it around without pulling a muscle!
2. Thinner would be nice. Its pretty thick, but I don't want to sacrifice performance.
3. Black Aluminum would be awesome.
Congrats, you'll love the MacBook

I totally agree on the aluminum design thing, and the black keyboard (not as much though), but lighter? Thinner?? 1" is too thick for you?? And, what, 5.4 pounds is too heavy? Could you be a bigger Nancy-boy?
hmm...lets be bad.
i hope they come out with an alu macbook on the 26th and shock every person on these forums
hehehe
