Yes! An honest to God Mac Rumor!
Turbo boost speeds up to 3.46GHz sounds great. How does Turbo Boost work anyways? Is that speed sustainable for prolonged periods? Say hours of continuous rendering on both cores?
as an option
I'd be happy to see the back of optical drives altogether..
If it doesn't have USB 3.0 I still won't be buying it.

AFAIK, the CPU has a maximum thermal envelope. The processor slows down the extra cores and boosts the speed on one while staying within this envelope speeding up single threaded applications.
Those aren't the reasons for why the 13 inch hasn't got iX.
Aah.. I see. I guess that could still be useful for those pesky single threaded tasks that still linger in many places.
Thanks for the explanation Davewilks.
And here's another vote for the elimination of optical drives. I'd be perfectly content with an MBA solution for the MBP's. Think of all the extra space that could be put to better use!
How about SDXC compatible SD card slots. This would be a great alternative to optical media. Far more interesting than BluRay in my opinion.

I wouldn't! What would I back up to? I need long term, permanent back ups as I imagine many others do too.
I hope we do get a bluray option. I've been trying to archive a lot of my projects to DVD and it's taking an awfully long time and many discs.
Great, now I have to wait more
When are we going to see a redesigned MBP??, its been updated with new design in 2008. When is the next expected design? Maybe thinner
Apple's laptop prices are way to high compared to HP & Acer laptops, i5 with 1024 mb graphic nvidia gt 330. Costs 1200$, i really feel apple should do something so their MBP.

My guess is that the quad-core Core i7 (720QM) will be available for the MacBookPro line right after the WWDC.
haha. that would suck..
