Evidence for New MacBook Pros

> As for Monetvina

They'll definetely wait 7-8 more months after this update. They won't release anything new in summer, only in late 2008 - and that's 9 months, the time a baby takes.
 
i just hope it doesn't have a thick case border around the screen like the macbook air. hopefully less thick than current mbp versions.
 
I just hope they will put a killer graphics card in, something like 8800 GTS. Also there are new ATi graphics cards around this time, so let's hope the best.

Do you think Apple would even release the updated MBP before the next Tuesday? I can't wait anymore... :)

Amateur prediction:

10.5.2 Friday (2/1)
New MacBook Pros Tuesday (2/5)

This is just based on the rumor frequency over the past few weeks.

i kinda don't think it'll happen on tuesday just because that is super tuesday and apple would rather have the press focus on them for a little bit. my guess is they will be announced alongside 10.5.2 on friday, but will announce they won't ship until sometime in the near future.

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.

yah, well, look how much love apple has shown canada lately . . . well, ever. but since apple is a u.s. company, in a u.s. market relying most heavily on u.s. media - a media that will be consumed wholly with super tuesday, if apple wants press surrounding this release, they won't do it tuesday. rest of the world be damned. however, it could be a "quiet release" without any fanfare and they'll just throw that out there, saving future media events for iphone SDK. my bet is still not tuesday though.

oh, and california is one of the super tuesday states. with edwards out the state is a toss up between hillary and obama, so no way any cameras will be pointed toward 1 infinite loop that day.
 
I too think the current MBP design is absolutely stunning and in my eyes perfect. I pray they don't use the MBA black keyboard on the new model MBP :(
 
2 day's for 17"

The Dutch Apple Shop online changed the 17" model from 24h to 2 days. I'm desperatly waiting for the new MBP cuz my 12" ibook g4 died on me last week :( and i'm NOT buying until the update.. (just have to work on my pc until that time comes)

My apple reseller was also running out of stock last time i was there (monday)
 
However, the fact that you are still waiting implies patience. The impatient ones now own Santa Rosa MBPs. :)

You mean people in the US put the first ever candidate race between a woman and a black man before new gadgetry from Apple?

Honestly, I'll never understand you people (joking!)
 
YES!!!! 10.5.2 is said to be soon so MBP should be soon as well, yes?

God this is like a breath of fresh air. Here's to hoping this is a redesign.

Most of us can agree that the MBA is not a replacement and the lack of dedicated gfx/bigger footprint are the same reasons a 12" iBook was passed over for a 12" PowerBook by so many users....myself included.

Now, I realize that going from a 12" PB to a 13" MB would be an upgrade in "all ways" even the new integrated gfx score higher than the old 5200 go.

BUT, I waited a long time to get my 12", it runs great, and I will keep it until either a "true-replacement" appears or until it dies at which point I will probably switch to a 15" even though I won't be happy about it.

This is the exact same logic I follow as to why I can't upgrade my iMac. I wanted a computer that was just a step below a PowerMac, and my G4 iMac did a good job of being that... Today's iMac, however, is multiple steps below a Mac Pro and there's no substitute. Apple doesn't make a computer that will fit my needs.

I think all the people here asking for a smaller footprint in a pro have a totally legitimate request, though, I seriously have my doubts about it happening now since the MBA. Apple has some serious difficulties listening to its customers... and is very stubborn, which doesn't help at all. Not even the iWorld is perfect, Steve.

The Apple store is still showing MacBook Pros of all stripes available in 24 hours. Always in the past when new models were showing up the shipping date would start to slip. I don't think anything is coming out for a couple of weeks at least.

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.

ooohhwww... I just can not let this one pass!
Speaking of spelling: don't (do not) you mean 'their' in stead of 'there'?

OK (Okay) that was cheap. But it felt good, though ;)

Noted! it is funny when you make the same mistake as the person you are criticizing...

Coming Back the The MBP. i have an imac (i know old) and i have been considering buying myself a new computer. obviously i wanted something portable and was going on the direction of MBP but now it is obvious that there will be an update soon enough.... what is the time frame "we" are giving this update to actually happen (knowing apple's timing and such)?

Should i wait til it is finally out or is it wise to buy now?
 
How do you think they can run a 8800 in a tiny notebook like that?
Please explain.

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 ;)

With the two first letters in your username it is quiet obvious where you come from :rolleyes:
Well, it could have been Austria also ;)

Yeah, the tiring 8 months since the last MBP refresh is just insane. I mean, new CPU, new graphics card, new backlight -- that can't be counted as an update since it didn't change the iconic design of the MBP case.
 
Days since update: 239 (Avg = 186)

Duh, obviously they are going to be updating the MBPs soon. I mean, really.

Quite easily. It needs the same count of Watts like a 8700.

Edit: Just as the 8600 did fit, too. They always made the notebook thinner but with better graphics card. Why shouldn't they be able to implent an 8800, too :) Btw, I am talking about the 8800M GTS, not GTX
