New MacBooks took from 1-3 days, for example.
The Stevenote is on the 15th - 24 days, 23 hours, 35 minutes and 30 seconds as of now

If only you'd waited 13 minutes and 9 seconds..

So immature.
I'm a 6502!
hey, there's been a lot of talk in this forum about the macbook pro upgrades being revA and how it's bad to get a revA product because of the problems with first revisions. is it was a processor upgrade then wouldn't it just be a revE? i'm really worried, i've been waiting for two years, and i don't want to wait for macbook pro to perfect itself again!!

The only changes from the current models would be the processor and the VRM (Voltage Regulation Module) for the processor.
I had an Rev. A iMac Core Duo and Mac mini (Intel). Surprisingly enough in my department we've hard more trouble with the latest MacBook Pro Vs. the original Core Duo ones.
Your milage may vary.

Can't wait!
Not that I will be getting a new MBP anytime soon since mine's less than 3 months old. But, it's still good to see the model lines kept fresh.

I'm just wondering, what kind of graphics update can we expect from the next refresh?
Could it be 8600 with 512mb?

Ever occurred to you that when that happens desktops will well have 4000mhz bus?
Seconded!
I am not as greedy and I will do without eSATA. I didn't even have it on my PC, only nerds will want something like that on a MacBook Pro

Ya, I ask the same question. I really don't want to wait for a new MBP that has upgrades that I don't really care about I want the base model, nothing special, just a good graphics card.
So do you think that the new MBP will have a better gfx card? If so, then I think it's worth the wait.

The most probable (if any update) to the MBP with the penryn push is possibly and increase of 256 for the base model, and 512 for the higher end models on the 8600GT platform.
8800 is very unlikely, as it has a much more demanding power pull, and would cause even more heat problems for the system. The 8700 from what I understand, is just an overclocked 8600, but I wouldn't put your money on that (and you will most likely be very dissapointed).
don't except anything crazy like SLI or something, because that would be pretty much impossible on the current case design, and OSX can't do anything with it (OSX is serious business)
Also, I really hope that they come with Esata ports too. Especially if it becomes bootable.

Yes, wait until the 15th. It's too close to do otherwise unless you absolutely need something now.
Does anyone know when This new macbook pro will be released? Macworld? Because I just bought my macbook pro about 1 month ago and although I'd normally be welcome to better graphics and some for of touch technology on it, but I'm gonna be pissed if Apple doesn't let me trade in.

Is there any change for a new case design for the MPB?
