Take me off of the list. I have been eyeing a mbp since the addition of the santa rosa chipset and now i have the money to actually buy one. I was waiting for Penryn but got tired of watching the store go down every tuesday, for an ipod update. Finally bought a refurb 2.4 w/ nvidia 8600 / 256. It is my first mac so FTW! I know I am going to want whatever MBP update they put out (multi touch, Blu Ray) but my new MBP should be a good machine for a while. :eek:

Impressive Elektroakoustik, my young padawan :D
That's really cool of you +1!

Thread shows a projected 92% of posters are waiting to purchase a MBP.
 
You forget AppleCare, .Mac, ProCare, and god knows what other services.

Lets just round it up to a cool million dollars. Hey, can we do a group buy? :D

That is quite impressive indeed.
 
i haven't checked but mine can be set as 'waiting' if not already. I'll probably end up waiting for montevina though as these updates don't seem worth while!

:apple:forever .... my slogan now has a new meaning

Still, that's one million in revenue, not profit (hope I'm not mangling my terms). The question is how much does Apple actually make at the end of the day? What about production costs, etc.?
 
Add me to the list of people who is anxiously waiting for the update. I am buying a Macbook Pro and Applecare the second they are out.
 
well I just ordered a stick of RAM to go in my ancient steam-powered powerbook G4 to bring it beyond the minimum spec to run aperture really, really slowly so now I'm good for a few weeks or months until this update finally comes out, whatever it is.

Of course the ram will probably arrive the same day the new MPBs do but that's just life

Apple does a pretty large mark up on their products (if they're willing to charge somebody 700 dollars for 4GB of ram, I'm sure they're willing to do just as well with any of their other products)
 
Shua said:
Well I look into the crystal ball and it tells me that 10.5.2 will have SSE4 instructions built in making it a bit faster. As far as everybody hoping for everything under the sun... I have doubts, at this point I just want an up-to-date processor and anything else is gravy.

T-18 days until MWSF Mk II

So did it? I still don't see anything about 10.5.2 having SSE4 in it.

Good question, as the price must take the software development costs of the included OS into account as well as design, components, packaging, labour, marketing blah blah.
 
This is starting to become a tad rediculous

Ok...So I decided to buy my first Mac because a good friend recommended them and I have had a good experience with them at school. I have to buy it by march for NHD to make my documentary. This waiting on Tuesday mornings is starting to become a bore, yet I still can not bring myself to buy the current mod. At this rate Steve Jobs better have a stack of restraining orders ready to be filled out because I'm sure if they don't release it next week half of this forum is going after him with the torches and pitchforks formentioned in this thread.

-Cheers comrades:cool:

And if anybody has a helpful hit with VMware vs. Parallels let me know!:D

I wish the new one's were out... I'm headed to Fry's later tonight- I could've picked one up :p

Hopefully I won't be too tempted looking at the current model...
 
add me to the list as well. I'm buying the new MBP the day it comes out with apple care amd MS office 08
 
I can't wait for any longer! It's just too torturing....

The lack of any "real" rumors does worry me more and more:(
