I'm abandoning hope and going for a Mac Pro instead.
The suspense was killing me plus I need better graphics anyway.
Count me out chaps.

From the forums of that website:
"Clearly, I don't expect Apple to bring out a 12-inch MBP tomorrow, but I suspect there's enough potential buyers out there that Apple should re-think their position. I hope that this forum might generate enough interest to get the mighty Steve's attention, and get Mr. Ive back on the case of the missing MacBook."

It's a neat idea, but I think it would definitely have a magnetic latch a more MBA feel to it. Maybe they would just make a MBAP (MacBook Air Pro).

But more on topic: https://www.macrumors.com/2008/02/24/macbook-pro-updates-this-tuesday/ Arn put it back up, with this extra:
"We'd originally published a story suggesting that MacBook Pros would see updates this Tuesday. Since that time, we've received conflicting reports as to what exactly is being delivered to Apple stores this coming week. Based on product cycles, the safe bet is the MacBook Pro, with 264 days since the last update. That, however, has not stopped Apple from introducing a slew of other products over the past few weeks (iPod Shuffle updates, Aperture 2.0, 16GB iPhone, 32GB iPod Touch)"
So we know a when, we just don't know that what ;)
I really hope it's this tuesday, because I just found out it's probably this Tuesday that I can get my laptop :D
 
Hello again everyone! I am back until Tuesday, when I plan on being thoroughly disappointed again! I am starting to lose the faith, and have honestly been considering a MacBook or an Air just to hold me over until the MBP gets an update. Between this and my constant inner desire to go out and buy a 32GB iTouch, I can hardly function. Thank god for floor hockey in gym, without that I don't think I could manage.
 
There is hope yet!...just like the past 6 Tuesdays...:rolleyes:Apple needs to release the MBP...It's starting to fall behind Dell in what you get for your money...and I've always invisioned Dell as the Yugo of computers, either that or Gateway. Come on Apple...step it up to Fararri or even BMW at least.

It's already shorts and tank-top weather in Texas so the whole hairy leg and armpit thing is not really cohesive with my environment. I don't think that guy from B-B-Q is gonna call back. I should have worn jeans and a t-shirt. My Venus lady razor weeps with the thought of future use for surely it will lose the battle and will have to be tossed. So here it is, Sunday and I have no hopes for a Tuesday MBP launch. Sorry folks this lady must shave...I think I like my Tattoo Idea better...at this rate it will never go out of style.


THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT TUESDAY!
 
I know it doesn't mean anything but, I just got back from the Apple Store in Newport Beach in CA and they only had a 15" MBP on display and when I asked about the 17" they said they didn't have any. :( but it did make me :D I'll wait a little longer but, I need to pull the trigger soon because my computer funding will go dry this week.
 
i dont think they would need to waste a tuesday announcement on something already in a best buy circular. at least thats what im hoping.
 
Apple also tends to do simultaneous releases of things. Most of us here have our "MBP blinders" on, but to Apple, the MBP update is minor and likely will be silent.

So no reason both couldn't come out on Tuesday. arn himself said it isn't just TC.

That may be why Apple isn't rushing to get the new MBP out because they think of Dell the way you do.

Seriously, Dell is not a competitor to Apple in such a way the Apple feels obligated to keep their line up to date in fear of Dell catching up. It just doesn't work that way.

You have to look at one more thing, when Intel releases new CPU's all Dell does is change the BTO options on their current line to reflect the new Intel CPU. Apple generally does more to their line than just changing the processor. Depending on their cycle changes Apple may add new GPU's or newer LCD's or they may just up the CPU but whatever they do you have to understand that their product cycle doesn't have to necessarily reflect Intel's CPU changes.
That's the way it is.
MR started this new MBP rumor, Apple never said they were releasing new MBP's soon. The current iMac was released a whole year from the previous.

You would probably get more sleep if you stopped looking for every Tuesday that comes around.
 
Speculation or not, how good will it feel when we finally wake up to a brand-spankin' new MBP? Good thing I have excellent credit. Bring it on Apple..

Sorry bud, its coming out soon! Why? Because besides the zillion other intelligent reasons for apple to keep up on their product line, everywhere you go there's a shortage on current MBPs. I've noticed it. Missing models, etc. So tis gotta be soon!
