New Faster Sandy Bridge MacBook Pros Next Week?

[RobertMartens]

If I remember correctly, my MBP purchased this past June did come with two Apple stickers...

Damn, who stole my stickers?

 

[StuddedLeather]

Speed bump to carry them through the holidays, followed by [what was earlier reported] a re-design to a thinner profile with Ivy Bridge?

This is actually what I'm waiting for.

Not so much the redesign but for Ivy Bridge.

As John Lennon might have sung:

You may say I'm a weirdo,

You might mean dreamer

 

[thefirstapex]

Almost had a heart attack. When I first read it, I thought it said IVY bridge!

... with all this news of new processors coming early and all, for all we know, Apple could have an exclusive "early shipment" from Intel or something.

Wouldn't make sense strategically (unless they want to have a KILLER holiday season that is!!)

Cheers!

So typical, I just bought my first MBP 2 weeks ago, excellent timming...

It's a spec bump not a new generation release, don't get too upset.

There's no point in waiting for this revision. The next one should be more interesting, as we'll at least finally get native USB 3.0 support.

Are you kidding me? His machine is a slow, worthless pile of junk, which I will gladly take of his hands for a huge discount (you know, since I'm doing him a favor)

I like you.

 

[BornAgainMac]

This will be the last chance to get USB 2.0 and Superdrive built-in.

 

[derbothaus]

How come they don't include those Apple stickers anymore? What's up with that? There used to be a time when Apple's entire marketing effort was those stickers.

I have about 400 or so if you need some

 

[macbook pro i5]

I like you.

I like you too

Here's next weeks update folks:

+ Bluetooth 4.0
and a BTO option for 2.5GHz i7 on the high-end 15" and 17".

 

[D.T.]

I'm still surprised Apple doesn't offer a higher resolution display for the 13" MBP models, like the panel from the 13" MBA.

You don't think they will update the graphics card? in the 15/17 model

 

[Eidorian]

Very, very unlikely given the history.

AMD's new 7000M series won't be out until 2012 and neither will NVIDIA's 600M series so there's nothing to upgrade to.

Nooooooooooooo

MacBook Pro 15inch

So is this just updates for the i7 MBP's?

I was looking to buy a MBP 15inch i5 today, but if its an update for all mbp's then i should probably hold of til next week then maybe.

Its ok i see someone already answered my question

 

[RazorSharp69]

I'm going to wait for the re-design. If its thin enough might swap it for my MacBook Air! Good time to release a new model but just in time for Xmas.

 

[scrapple]

my early 2011 mbpro 15" just took a poo... keyboard is screwed up...

if I wait it out and setup a genius appt, would they exchange it for a newer one?

 

[MartiNZ]

You wouldn't be a true MacRumors member if that weren't the case. I'm right there with you.

So damn right .

I'm after IB, and a redesign would be just gravy, but dammit I'll be configuring the new ones online as soon as they get here .

 

[RickG]

is anyone else waiting for a macbook pro or Air with built in wireless 3G/4G like the ipads have ? I want a new Air or Pro but want to have the built in cellular wireless like the ipad - just my 2 cents

Hands up.

Anything to prevent that fugly dongle from sticking out of a MBA like a cancerous sore thumb.

 

[Imola Ghost]

Do you guys think that they're updating the 13" MBP's? A buddy of mine just bought one today so hopefully if they are then he could exchange it.

 

[96whitels]

Been holding off to get a MacBook Pro until an update.
Should I grab one of these or hold off till next year's Q1/2 update (if any)??

I am in no rush....
