I just bought myself a brand new MBP, 8 days ago.
However, if i think the new MBP is that much better, i'll just order that!
Hardly a huge problem!

I am not really interested in anything new. Other then maby a processor upgrade for the MBP. But I don't like touch screen ect.
I am kinda hoping they don't mess with the MBP much. I almost want to buy mine before MW.

17'' Is too big for me. The 15'' is perfect.
The wait has been killing me. Right now I'm stuck on a ******-rigged PC, that can pretty much only do basic crap. Lags on photoshop ect.
I am dying to get one, But I'm holding out for MW. Barely

Possibly.
I go back and forth on desktop vs laptop. I love the screen real estate of the white iMacs, and it having more ports, but also need portability. What I've done in the past is to have an iMac and a Powerbook, but then I have syncing issues (duh). I suppose my ideal would be a laptop that I could plug into a bigger display, but it's a nuisance to have to connect/disconnect everything.
So if there is a new MBP and new displays, I'll probably pull the trigger . . . even though the Powerbook I have now runs everything, albeit with that infamous "Powerbook pause."

right, so how much money are Apple going to be stripping off us collectively so far?
Something in the range of $30,000-50,000? We should get a bulk discount

Agreed, except for the fact that the money's been there since mid October. I don't really need a new laptop, but I've been craving a MacBook Pro for quite some time now. I'd just like to see a processor refresh and magnetic latch. We shall see though.. 9 days is all.
A small processor bump and an upgraded (read more memory) video card are what I'm hoping for. A magnetic latch, esata, MB chicklet-style keyboard, etc. etc. would all just be icing on the cake.
I will either buy one after a month or so to ensure there are no initial manufacturing defects to deal with or I will end up waiting for the next revision. It really comes down to how impressive the specification updates are. Plus my PowerBook is still chugging along at this point so it is not as though I am in a huge rush to buy one.

Highly likely
I've been waiting to replace my 12" PowerBook... A 13" MBP would be perfect. I'd like to say I'll wait and see how a new model shakes out, but I'd only be kidding myself: next update I'm buying!

lol - all you people that say you're buying a the new MBP on Jan 15th and yet no one even knows for sure Apple will even have a new MBP on that day.
talk about counting your chickens before they hatch!

That would be a bummer, 'uldn't it
I don't know what I'll do if there is no new MBP, because that prolly means that it won't be updated until April/May. I'm not willing to a) wait that long, b) pay a premium for a soon to be outdated model, c) buy somebody else's reject from the refurb store. I might just break down and buy a Vaio or a Latitude! Hear that, Steve?
For your sake I hope we never meet in person.
Seriously, get your head out of your butt. Your needs do not = the rest of the world's needs. Anyway, I'll be gettin a new MBP mainly because I don't care for integrated graphics, and I want a Mac.
Not really, I am merely responding to the folks who constantly go "Oh, Macs are so expensive", blah blah blah.
Try claiming an item you bought from eBay as a work expense, and the reason why Apple is still in business becomes stunningly obvious.
Let me make this clear once and for all: I am not staking $2,000 in a gamble for an LED screen that hopefully won't suffer from yellow tint.
I would rather stake in Baden-Baden instead.

Hoping for a 17" LED hi-res screen, decent battery life, and no burnt thighs after using it for a while!
Been waiting for a couple of months to buy, so just waiting for the Penryn. Hopefully with a 2.8GHz processor option.
