MacBook Pro Updates Imminent (Really), Part Numbers Appear

Besides updating to core i5/i7, anyone want to place bets on them updating the casing to replace keyboard but a gigantic touchpad with no button?Seriously though, I wonder the refresh might include a casing update so people can differentiate between an i5 and a C2D. Maybe not considering my PowerBook G4 and 2006 C2D look the same.
I've actually been wondering that myself. I'm looking forward to seeing if it's the exact same casing and all or if there will be a total overhaul. More than likely the internals will be the only thing to change. I really like the unibody...all but that sharp edge your wrists rest on.

The Aluminum body is working out really well right now, considering the great heat transfer.
Some body customization options couldn't hurt though. Etching anyone?
With as expensive as it is to get etched at a 3rd party place...I doubt if Apple offered etching it would be worth it! Probably be like $400
I don't know what costs etching entails exactly, but knowing Apple, they'd over charge for it.

I'd rather have that guy paint mine than etching though...

I don't like the idea of engraving tools so close to computer parts. Maybe techniques have improved?
etching
ill pass on etching and stick to a can of spray paint

I would love it if I knew someone with artistic talent and they could do something for me....I would do spray paint, but want something more than a solid color.
Honestly, the passive-aggression on the last few pages is cloying.
"Um, don't know if you noticed, but this is a discussion forum."
"Uh, thank you, but I was asking a question, if you don't mind."
Repeat until sick.
I'm not the sort of fella to deal in absolutes, but I'd say the odds of this Wednesday coming and going with sight nor sound of new MacBook Pros is pretty slim.
Then I've got to sit on my hands until the Back To School offer starts.

Do you seriously even care? What would it even matter?
You are quite the douche.
Huzzah to that and might I add using a certain student discount for an extra shout of joy!!!

Ok I pulled that figure out of thin air! But back in 2000 IDC reported that Apple had 30% of the US Education market - a simple good will show this. Still even at the same 30% US Education (not including multiple universities featured on iTunes University using XServers or Podcast Producer); that's still significant enough for Apple not to ignore.
That's why you don't run any companies. You'd fail. Fast.
Video on blu is amazing. If you don't appreciate that, good for you and who cares.
Judging by your Flash comment, your taste in movies is most likely restricted to people getting hit between the legs with various objects, putting clothespins on their nipples, falling off skateboards, etc, etc. Again, good for you. Nobody is going to be watching Criterion movies in Flash, I promise you.
And screw the cloud.
