If the OS on those next MBPs is Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, as you propose, then there will be no update until summer 2011, even for Apple that is a bit long in the tooth.


Btw, it is spelled "CPU " and "battery".

I'm hoping the next MBP gets LightPeak, a BTO option for an internal 3G/4G wireless broadband modem with a good service deal, better graphics card options, a longer battery life and make ExpressCard/SD a BTO option on all models (most people use the SD card, but the ExpressCard offers an expandability option that the SD does not). The rest I won't care too much about so long as they don't do something stupid like remove the optical drive.
 
Now that you get a 720p camera in iPods, it's about damn time they upgrade the iSight, eh?

i actually don't have anything to complain about the camera. but i agree with you that it needs to be updated to something more modern.
 
I would be happy if they just updated the screen resolution in the next couple of months. A CPU/graphics upgrade would also be nice, but I really can't wait long -- my older 15" MBP is on it's last leg...
 
Its obvious.

Apple will update the MBPs with the Intel Sandy Bridge platform.

This means:
- Next-gen Core i3/i5/i7 (much lower power, much higher performance) source

- USB 3.0 source

-I doubt Apple is ready to get rid of the SuperDrive, but it is a possibility.

-Lightpeak is doubtful, as I believe that is going to come out later.

Apple is probably going to update the MBPs early 2011 (when all the other sandy bridge PCs will come out)

The reason Apple stuck with the Core 2 Duo is they were waiting for Sandy Bridge.
