The fact that Apple makes a quality product and provides solid customer service has not escaped me. My point was that Apple's practice of charging top dollar for outdated technology and keeping their customers in the dark as to new releases is poor. The only true way to show your disapproval of this practice is by closing your wallet.
If you want to prove me wrong, feel free to cite to a Consumer Reports article which promotes overcharging for older technology or withholding information from consumers which forces them to make purchases without full information about the market ... about any company.
Check and mate.
Most people (myself included) are quite frustrated that Apple hasn't released the new MBP yet ... which is really frustration at the company for their practices. I think most would appreciate a simple announcement that new MBP's are coming out on a certain date, or a statement that they are working on specific technology, etc.
Looking forward to the updates, no doubt. Will be my first Mac and the waiting is what makes us feel alive. 
It's like those old time Heinz ketchup commercials that always end up in "the best thing comes to those who wait".
sorry, had to reach into the nostalgia file.

Hmmm... Apple presumably needs to update their site some time before 5:30AM PST... so... maybe they can squeeze some MacBook Pros in there as well?
Interesting.... and what is your prediction for International (Int) since we won't get the iPad before the end of April ? I also believed that once, but with different date for the iPad release (US vs Int) and knowing that about 50% of the sales are Int, I'm not sure about that anymore. End of April will be a shame for Apple... Friends around me already have there i7 laptop... but of course, they had to pay the ultimate price... being on Windows
May, at the earliest; June ?
I agree, but that's not the point. Steve put his face on this product. It's still very unknown as to how it will fare. He doesn't want the distraction that the MBPs would cause.
Also, current MBPs seem (I don't have any numbers other than their quarterly report) to be selling at a high rate. As much as we want the updates, to Apple, there's no exigency.
no, apple! dinny update the macbook pros 13" cos I wanna mine to be the latest as it has been for the last 7 months when I bought it!
as it has been for the last 7 months when I bought it!I am done! I have been waiting for ever.. Cannot wait any longer! I really need this new machine! It's essential in my job. This bull**** is going to go on forever! I'm gonna... wait a little longer I guess..

that rumor was made up by someone in this thread, posted on 9to5mac as gospel, added to MR front page, we laughed in this thread about it, then it was removed on 9to5, moved to page 2 on MR, original poster banned... so yea, they may be coming, but if it is then that story is just coincidence.
