List: MR Members Waiting To Buy A New MacBook Pro

[telecomm]

This is the one with the G5 processor?

I wonder how many others were tempted to make that joke.

 

[propropro]

i know this is going to sound lame... but I heard that MBP's will be seen this tuesday or next.

I fear there won't be nothing really special about this update beyond penryn processors and maybe multitouch trackpad

There could be a magnetic latch or a new keyboard... they wouldn't need an event to announce it, as the other have had these for a while; its nothing new.

There is no way that the multitouch trackpad won't be included.
I expect the MB keyboard to be introduced also, otherwise the MBA, the other 'Pro' model, would have had the concave keys.

I'm not sure the new keyboard would fit in the present design at all... I think they will not change the keyboard until they redesign completely the MBP, but I hope I'm wrong

What's Pro about the MBA? It's a lifestyle product - not a productivity tool. It lack the means to get content in or out of itself to be productive.

 

[Wizzardbb]

if it comes tuesday it will be Penryn on Merom, if next Penryn on Montevina

 

[ryuenten]

if it comes tuesday it will be Penryn on Nemron, if next Penryn on Montevina

How much better is Penry on Montevina than Penry on Nemron?

 

[aiterum]

stop calling it penry.... it makes it sound like a penguin

I think it may be time to get some things up on ebay to make room for the new gear

 

[Wizzardbb]

Ii think:
with Montevina change: motherboard, wireless module, ecc.

Penryn on Merom: change only Processor

 

[ibinco]

@ Arn,

Damn coming from you it makes the rumor more " reliable" I sure hope they release it coming Tuesday cant wait!

Notice the inverted commas, I wholeheartedly agree; but it is designed/marketed as a producer product, not a consumer.

 

[aiterum]

if they released it this coming tuesday....


new MBP and new House episode.

it would be a perfect day

 

[akadmon]

I'm not sure the new keyboard would fit in the present design at all... I think they will not change the keyboard until they redesign completely the MBP, but I hope I'm wrong

And why does everyone think that this update won't/can't see a complete redesign? God knows, Apple has had enough time to come up with one!

 

[djellison]

but it is designed/marketed as a producer product.

No, really, it isn't. The entire marketing for the MBA is this.

That's it.

[Twilight Elk]

Please put me on the list as well.

I am holding out on an updated MacBook Pro rather than buying a current model.
This will also be my very first Mac, so I feel very excited about this

if they released it this coming tuesday....


new MBP and new House episode.

it would be a perfect day

Hell yes!

 

[rsm5068]

Add me to the list with an asterisks that says "Only if they out the MB keyboard on it" (You should all know I am debating between this puppy and an MBA for college, so I'm on both lists)

Is there any chance they will be upgrading the Graphics? Not to whine, but they could put a "Pro" card in their "Pro" machine, or at least an 8800.

 

[bayol05]

Guys, I'm losing it..... I want an update like yesterday!!!

 

[Brianstorm91]

Guys, I'm losing it..... I want an update like yesterday!!!

Stick with it: it will be worth it!
Even Arn said it'd be soon.

 

[Czechmac]

Well, when his holiness Arn has said it will be soon, then it must be. Maybe the mid-February time I am planning to buy MBP is gonna be the best time to buy.

 

[bayol05]

No offense to arn and sorry for not knowing...but who is he and why is his word so valuable?

feel free to curse me and lower my self esteem for not knowing his majesty

 

[forrest368]

I was wondering the same thing
