MacBook Pro Updates Imminent (Really), Part Numbers Appear

I called two of them near Washington D.C. and a couple Best Buys.
The two Apple stores thought I was ridiculous "They just released them today"! Just like movie and video game releases on Tuesdays are available in stores, I thought maybe the MBPs would be too.
I'm going to wait till later this afternoon, call back to see if they are expecting a shipment...if not, ordering online.
lol,cause it not the body design update, so they dont care so much i guess....
There are only small changes but there are some. CPU a bit faster at 2.4 GHz, RAM 4 GB standard, HD was 160 GB minimum, now 250 GB, GPU changed. Seems Apple has either been unable to get actual CPU power into the 13" or the little bastard is selling that well that they can continue with old CPUs for some time. No surprise that neither USB 3.0 nor HDMI etc. appeared...

Congrats Apple you have out waited me
Couldn't wait any longer
. I was hoping to get one of these bad boys and dual boot (some of the software I need is Windows only and I need something faster than a core2 duo) but I have been waiting to upgrade since January and just couldn't do it any longer. Hopefully the Toshiba (with the specs I wanted from Apple ie Intel I7 processor 4 gig memory ect) that I ordered a few days ago with an will be good enough. Maybe in a few years when I'm ready to get another laptop they'll have actually shipped something.

Finally! Order placed online, but seeing as I'm buying it for my business (self employed), I went the cheque route, so I'll have it a week later than if I went down the path of credit card.
I've waited this long, another couple of weeks ain't going to kill me.

About time! Surprised the 13" didn't get an i3 or something. But it's something. Does anyone really think they'd update them again with i3's this soon? It's not like they left them alone. They bumped the base RAM to 4GB, the base HD to 250GB and the video card not to mention the processor being 2.4 now so I don't see an update for the 13" coming again this soon.
I know what I'm doing after work today!
WHOO!

It's a little annoying that I can't alter the graphics card without bumping up to the high end 15 incher, but I guess it can't be helped. Now I know which one I'm after to convince the parents. 8D
I'm pretty happy with the update overall. I'll be so excited to get one.

Well, scratch what I said earlier about the Apple store not having them. I called back to see when they might expect shipment. He said at the moment they were recieving a few pallets. I'll be picking one up after work!
now I have to figure out a 15" with i5 or i7

7200rpm is definitely worth getting. Don't go for the 5400rpm just because you have to have it to-day!? You've waited this long, so just upgrade the shipping if that's an option.
Getting an SSD is, of course, blows any 14,400rpm drive away. The fact that Apple carries a 512GB SSD is super impressive!

Now that the 13" didn't get an i5 processor, I hace very few options to upgrade, so I really need your help here.
The computer is used for everyday computing, plus office stuff (word, powerpoint, excel), video editing with FCE and photo retouch with aperture.
My options at the time are:
(1) New MBP 13" C2D 2,66GHz 320m graphics with 500Gb HDD
(2) Old MBP 15" C2D 2,53GHz 9400 graphics with 500Gb HDD
(3) New MBP 15" i5 2,4GHz 330m graphics standart
HELP!!!

BTW I have a tight budget, so for the 15" i5 wont be possible to buy the applecare, is it possible to buy it later, I mean like in 2 months or so?
Only one option: 15" w/ hi-res screen! (and I'd suggest antiglare)
Pro-Apps are a pain to use at 1440x900 (even more so at 1280x800).
Yes, you can purchase Apple Care anytime during Apple's one-year warranty timeframe.

I got my self a 15" MBP with i7!
And an iTouch 32gb back to school!
Don't need the touch so I'll give it to my friend^^
Althoe they didn't have the 8gb memory at the shop now but I'll update them later on so not a big deal.
Am very happy with it

Back to school? How?
What!!! That's the ONLY reason why I'm not buying my MBP yet. I want the free iPod!
So for you, the 32GB Touch was free? I thought it was going to be the 8GB for free... I already have a 16GB 1G, but I want a new one with more space (for free, of course!)
