As much as I would like them to release the new MBP's next week I think they will come as a one more thing on a press conference for the iPhone SDK in mid-late Feb.
I just keep telling myself, good things are worth waiting for!
Got a tip for us?

Battery Capacity?!
The current 15" and the 17" Macbook Pro have different battery capacities but share the internal MacBookPro3,1 name.

Ah, maybe that fits with my fantasy of the next MacBook Pro. I know no one will agree with me, but believe it or not I want a MacBook Pro 15 inch WITHOUT an optical drive. I want a bigger battery instead. Remember the old Pismo Powerbooks that you could remove the floppy drive and put in a second battery, or a hard drive or whatever). I hardly use the optical drive but I want longer battery life.
Maybe they could sell it with the external dvd drive included in the box.
Oh, saw the post that 15 and 17 inch MacBook Pros use the same numbering scheme, so maybe it's a new 17 inch model that was detected. Too bad. I'd still like a bigger battery without increasing size or weight (i.e., exchanged for the optical drive).
The world consists more than just the u.s ( look on a map on the world ).
To hold up a world wide release of a product due to one country's election process is very very lame.

On the other hand, many companies allow their employees to take
time off work to vote, and for the true Apple addict, this would allow
them to visit the Apple store on the first day of availability.
I was hoping for the redesign to be Montevina based as potentially we could then have a thinner and/or cooler design.
try counting from 1-10 with your eyes closed & see how long 10 sec is. just like what other say..if you need 1, buy 1...but if you are willing to wait...don't close your eyes...
& it will arrive quicker ...happy waiting!One thing that helps me live a stress free life is to avoid having online discussions/disagreements with people who can't be bothered to type out a three letter word.
Another thing that would help me live a stress free life is if everybody else did the same!
It's as if they're holding up a big sign that says, they don't have enough respect for you to type "you." I'll never understand why anyone engages these people.
TOTALLY OFF topic, I know ..... I couldn't agree with you more. The 'text message shortcuts' that have made there way into every aspect of our lives are just an excuse for people who are too lazy to type out an entire word, or too lazy to learn how to spell it.
The other thing that sucks... is when you see written text... and there is no capitalization or punctuation of any kind..... damn, that's annoying...
Back on SUBJECT.... i cant wait 4 rev. of the MBP line its been 2 long and i need a new 1 bad
I'd be surprised if Apple but Bluray in their computers any time soon. If SJ had his way, he'd have us all download our video/music content from iTunes. So while Apple is on the BluRay board (or whatever), at most it'll be a BTO, but I don't expect to see it anytime soon, especially not in their laptops.

Actually, I know: I'm from Germany. However, for Apple, the US is still the largest and most important market.
But I could live with Apple proving me wrong on this one
I know the difference between Austria and Australia
I'm hoping Apple release MBPro ASAP, getting impatient - all this waiting around.

I'm EAGERLY awaiting Super Tuesday. no bullsht
I'm from Austria. (not Australia)
I wouldn't mind two big events in one day, though.

Haha, yes, but Apple HQ is located in Cupertino, CA. Look on the map of the world--it's on the left side of the North American continent. I don't think it's lame at all to delay a product announcement to avoid an event within a country representing a major slice of the market. Particularly when the company releasing the product is based in that country.
Having said that, if there were to be a product release next Tuesday, I'm not sure its an event that would necessarily delay the release.
This gets me really excited!! Please God, let this rumor be true!
Ofcourse it's likely the MBP get's updated, but the more rumors, the closer it's coming.
I really don't think they could release it without an optical drive (like a member a couple of posts earlier mentioned)! Pro users need to burn CD's and DVD to hand in products...

I don't think the MacBook Pro needs a complete redesign, but I do think it should use the new keyboard that's on the MacBook & MacBook Air. The Air proved that you can make the newer keyboards backlit.
I'm not a chip expert or anything, but thought I'd respond to some folks' posts who like me are wondering about the differences between Penryn and Montevino. From what I found online, it looks like Montevino has a faster front side bus, is much more power efficient, allows for a ~40% smaller logic board, and has built in support for WiMax and Blu-Ray, HD-DVD. Not knowing much about chips, I don't know if not having the last 2 would preclude (or make it less likely) Apple from including support with the Penryn update.
I for one am hoping we get a case redesign with the next update, mainly because I know I'll have it for a long time and want to minimize laptop envy. Unfortunately given the considerable changes and size reduction for Montevino, it doesn't seem likely we'll see any meaningful body changes until the summer. Personally I think there is a better chance we see the MB upgraded to aluminum cases before that. Of course the ultimate irony will be that the case update probably means a keyboard change, which will really bum me out. So maybe I just rationalized my purchase of a Penryn MBR!

Ohhhh
you're taking all the fun out of this!
i agree...i'm spending my time reading ALL the posts while waiting for the release of the new MBP..& i'm having fun, lots & lots of fun...thanks to ya'll
Not at all. Apple has been known to simply cut off their best selling model of a product line before, so this is simply a confirmation that Apple isn't going to drop the Macbook Pro from their laptop lineup and replace it with a Macbook Super Pro
Yes, this thread is very pointless. Who cares if we know a new model's coming out? I could have told you the day I bought my MBP that a new model would come out after it.
