I'm waiting, no matter what. I really love to see new updates and go crazy about them. I'd like to see bigger HD space and higher graphics, maybe with some extra powerful screen resolution.
Add Me To The List
Been waiting since November for a true upgrade. This will be my first Mac.
MBP w/15" screen.

I got tired of waiting so I ordered the Macbook Pro in my sig. Am I going to regret it? Not one bit.
You can add me to that list. I'm waiting for the new MBP and will buy as soon as it comes out!!
I haven't seen firsthand anything about Intel's production issues. Assuming that they do exist and are the reason for the holdup of new MBP's, I feel better about all of this.
So, new MBP's: Penryn, slight performance upgrade, slight battery lif improvement, slightly cooler, new iSight, MultiTouch Trackpad, amybe a little lighter. That all works for me!
So when is Intel supposedly shipping the requisite Penryn chips?
i just cant wait for everything to get update, then i would not ever can buy nothing!
i am so happy as it is when i get the pro i ordered yesterday!

hey guys, this is my first post on macrumors but i have been lurking the forums for quite some time now. I have been wanting and waiting for the MBP update since October. I would really like to see it coming like everybody else and as I'm on a tight budget, I want the best hardware for my buck. So, I guess I will have to wait for the update but I really hope it's soon!!
You can count me in for the waiting list!
my first mac computer ever too

You could very easily sell it on ebay. It would probably go for about 200~300$ less than you paid though.
uh,
1.) Mac Pro came out on the 8th. I think you mean the MacBook Pro.
2.) Apple will be closed on Monday so I highly doubt they will announce a laptop on the day they are closed for normal operations. But I do hope they release it on Tuesday.
I think he means that the Mac Pro he's already ordered will arrive on monday.
AHAHHAHAH I math as well as I english.
Thats not too bad. I wasn't sure what the depreciation on a macbook is like. What if I bought applecare? Does that go with the laptop when I sell it, or would it have to be transferred to a different name or some such, if thats possible?
AppleCare is registered to the Serial Number of the Laptop. So you would need to re-buy it. You can wait up to a year to purchase AppleCare so if you are thinking about selling it I would not purchase it right away.
I'm waiting for a new MacBook Pro, not because the current line isn't great and would fulfill all my needs but simply because I'd like a new one that looks beautiful!
I truly hope that the next line of MBPs doesn't come with black keyboards (like the MBA). Apple should at least come with the option for a white keyboard.

Waiting Game
I prefer the Jools Holland song; "Waiting Game" which is really excellent. I was going to do a link to iTunes or YouTube but to my horror neither have this fabulous recording. It is a sad state of affairs.
"You keep me waiting,
Un-aswered phone,
Un-answered letters,
When you're at home.........
You keep me waiting,
The waiting game"

I decided on getting a Mac laptop for college in November. School started January 14th, so it was a no-brainer to hold off just in case there was an update. Yes, I would have loved to see a penryn processor, or any other minor changes, but I was just as ready to by the "old" version if it seemed a new one would be bug prone. The lack of update doesn't diminish the quality of the MBP at all, it just isn't quite as cutting edge this second as I hoped - not that it would stay that way for long even with a fresh update.
Got it as a student for $1599 plus the cost of an ADC student membership of $99. Bought 4gb of OCZ pc2 6400 ram for it, $85 - backwards compatible, plus if for some reason I end up with the next version of the MBP down the road it's ready for the next chipset. Plus it was $5 cheaper than Kingston pc5300
All in all, quite ready to have this laptop! For all of you wanting one - I wouldn't be listening to those people telling you of the next update right around the corner. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, but they certainly don't know any better than you do Worst case scenario.. you get a laptop you love, and the latest and greatest surpasses it a month later rather than 3 months later.

I also got tired of waiting so I purchased one. $2359 for a 15" 2.6 and a 200GB 7200 RPM HDD through ADC is not bad at all. The $200 sales tax is though. I went to OWC for 4GB of RAM that ran for about $100 after shipping charges. I just hate the waiting times to get this laptop. Earliest arrival date is January 25th and the latest is the 31st. Even for 2-3 day shipping it is the 25th to the 30th. It has been 6 hours since I ordered it and I am already going crazy.
(just a little pinch of hope for those of you that're waiting for an update):
I have a friend that works at a Big Blue retailer - according to their inventory system, three new sku/upc's exist for the macbook pro, and will evidently be on planogram (be displayed on the floor) on or before 2/10/2008. And the three skus would logically be the 2 15" stock configurations, and the 17" MBP. Since i'm one of the people waiting for the update to buy a macbook pro, this is good news!

I hope your right. I was about to get the 2.2/128mb macbook pro today lol. Which is stupid because I can wait....I just don't want to.
