they have another promo that runs from 10/17 - 1/22/07... i sure hope they dont wait for this to expire... although that is right around MWSF
shortly it is... only 9 more hours

Yeah, the restarted the printer offer last week and it goes through January. The other promo is the .Mac one, also thru January.

The ones I was referring to that expire on 10/24 are the mail-in rebates offered through large retailers like Amazon. They still have to get Apple approval for those rebate programs as Apple sets prices.

Either way, we find out soon enough... Or at least I hope we do.

Did you photograph your installation process for us to learn by? How much did you pay for the 2.33GHz Merom?

there are mini cpu replacement tutorials all over, google fugger extreme systems, its really not all that hard. I got the merom chip at newegg, they have them in stock right now. my mini xbenches at at least 150, 180 w/out disk benches
 
i will be asleep when they sell the new hardware, if it happens

is anyone willing to ring my (japanese) cellular phone if there's good news?

. . . probably not?

Dude, the Yonah in MBP is SOLDERED to the motherboard. You shouldn't try changing that CPU unless you have some serious skills and tools, I even doubt you would manage then.

aussie_geek: since this upgrade is so trivial and meaningless to you ..... why do you keep reading and posting in this thread? LOL!

I've been waiting for this upgrade since Core Duo debuted in January, and I'll be up, bright and early, to order a C2D MBP in the morning! wOOt!

:D

No the E207WFP 20 is 1650x1050.

I advocate the 2007FP 20 1600x1200 for only $359.20. That extra 150 verticle pixels is very helpful.

Dell really are fleecing their none US customers:

20" 2007FP: £311
24" 2407WFP: £566
20" 2007WFP: £401
30" 3007WFP: £1,365

People here are always raving about Dells low prices here, but I really dont think they're that cheap at all (in the UK) - unless you buy something with very old hardware that is.

That monitor wouldn't be any good if you watch HD videos (or even DVDs).

Got it in one. :)
 
Leopard ReadyBoost?

Haven't seen this mentioned in a while...

If they do release the new MBP's tomorrow, what is the chance that Apple's skunkworks will be working for a readyboost-like feature? It'll help us guys who can't wait until March/April for Santa Rosa, stick in a CF card reader into the MBP and a 2gb+ card and presto (could work quite well with the new hard sleep feature).

I'd love to see a new design, but I'll be happy with:
1. C2D 2.33GHz
2. bigger HD, with easy-swap HD bay
3. heat problems, "mooing," and random-shutdowns solved

Anything else will be icing on the cake!

Completely right. As everyone else has speculated, it seems likely that the big overhaul will be early next year. That said, if this revision has the upgrades you mentioned, I'll be elated. I'd much rather have a functional (i.e. not overheating, mooing, and whining) machine than a feature-crammed but functionally useless one. Stability, in this case, is probably more important than unworkable new features.

thats so annoying now, you buy one new MacBook Pro then 6 months later its out dated. Im not saying its useless but c'mon.

It is hard to expect anything else. Just about every computer you buy is already outdated the minute you get it, they just aren't able to produce the better stuff in mass yet... I would like to have an outdated computer more than a current one for any great length of time, so that when I need a new one they are that much better instead of only slightly better.
 
Imminent

MBPs...

Midday Tuesday, the UK store has gone down for updating, im guessing MBPs...

There has NEVER been routine maintainence carried out early on Tuesday mornings. NEVER.

Maintainence always happens in the evenings.
