Despite persistent rumors of MacBook Pro updates, we've yet to see the rumored Penryn, Multi-touch trackpad MacBook Pro revisions. However, there appears to be ongoing evidence that the MacBook Pro updates are imminent.

The current MacBook Pros which were released in June carry a system identifier label of "MacBookPro3,1". One reader notes that an application called MiniBatteryLogger provides public battery tracking logs, and recently revealed an entry with an identifier of "MacBookPro4,1". "MacBookPro4,1" is presumably the identifier for the unreleased MacBook Pro revisions. The author of the application states that the identifier is obtained automatically from the system, though there are no guarantees that it wasn't faked.

However, this same new "MacBookPro4,1" identifier has also found in the latest developer seeds of Mac OS X 10.5.2 from Apple. In contrast, the public version of Mac OS X 10.5.1 does not contain the "4,1" identifier.

In many ways, all this does is verify what we have presumed to be true... that MacBook Pro revisions are coming, and soon enough that the Mac OS X 10.5.2 will support them, but it's still somewhat reassuring for those waiting patiently for the new MacBook Pros.

A weak verification since it's easily faked. I just want to upgrade from my MacBook to a Pro now. :rolleyes:

Maybe we can expect 10.5.2 soon as well, again.
 
"waiting patiently", indeed. Well, my 12" PowerBook has lasted me this long, it can hold out just a bit longer. :)

Actually, I had to buy a 20" iMac a while back when the PowerBook hard drive died, so I'm actually pretty well set. Still, if an updated 15" MBP is sufficiently tempting, I might sell one or the other.

It is a part of 10.5.2 however - that isn't fake.

I'm looking at it like this, I've waited this long what is few more weeks or months. I would think however that it would be more like weeks. I just think they don't want it to complete with the new MacBookAir....
 
i just want 10.5.2. i thought maybe we would get that yesterday, but i guess we can't get everything we want.. it would be cool to get the new mbp and 10.5.2 upgrade the same day though. can't wait to see if there are any surprises with the mbp or if we have guessed everything they are going to throw at us
 
Please!

Please I've waited long enough to replace my Powerbook G4 1.25 Ghz, more than 4 years with it, now that I have the money I want to wait for the new revision!!
 
I think that the mbp updates will come out when apple releases the dev kits for the iPhone. They'll probably have some kind of event in "late" February (basically the last business day of February) I hope we get updates soon but I don't see them coming till after that so the MB Air has its time to shine

......patiently waiting
 
10.5.2 must be coming soon now surely?

We've been hearing about it for quite some time.
 
redesign now or later?

A redesign please ;)

first post here, just joined, been waiting for updates of mbp as well - as a near computer tech illiterate 2 questions - first is there any reason why, if there is a redesign, it would come rather now with the pennryn or later with the montevina chip update?

Also could anyone comment on how significant a change it would be with the montevina chip platform - and thus to wait for that if it is just a matter of a couple of month - ?

anybody care to comment?
