Thank you my MacRumors newbie friend. All of the other rumor sites didn't give any information whatsoever, but I think I'll trust what you say because you did end with a smiley and all.

:rolleyes:
 
Hoping this is true.

I read about all the rumors for months but last Tuesday I finally caved and had our IT department order my 17" MacBook Pro because I'll need it for an upcoming event out of the office. I got the AppleCare box last week and when I asked IT today where the MBP was he checked and said that my MBP was ON BACKORDER from CDW with a shipping date of no earlier than 4/17. This is getting VERY close to cutoff as I'll need the machine on the 23rd. I bought it in advance so I could have it set up and brought into my routine so I wouldn't have to worry about this exact situation of trying to get everything on and situated just days before I had to leave.

Hoping they update and do some sort of model upgrade and I get one of those, I hated approving the purchase as it was around $3500 for something I felt just wasn't worth the cost now, but needed to buy it anyways.

It was a 17" MBP with 3.06GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200RPM HDD, everything else stock.

I want to believe this so bad but something tells me I can't.
 
Does anyone know what to likely expect when the new Macbook pros come out, beside the i5 & i7? Are we looking at blu-ray and a significant price drop, or what?
 
mac pro next week

I really hope its true too cause im in the market for my first mac and im waiting til the new one arrives. As i said nothing confirmed but all stock of mac pros are gone. We always were able to order a mac pro and have it next day. I cant wait!!!:D
 
Apple has obviously decided on a going forward basis that it is much more profitable to ship laptops that are one generation behind - the i5 MBP will ship next year when Intel releases Sandy Bridge units and drops the price substantially on i5 and i7 processors. Apple will switch to slightly smaller and non-user-replaceable and non-substitutable proprietary memory and storage technology at the same time, ensuring that additional memory and storage options may only be procured from Apple and only installed at an Apple Store. :rolleyes:

We cant order new macbook pros for customers, and normally that means the a new models are comming

WAIT A SECOND! You just said, Mac Pro. This thread is about MacBook Pros. We don't give two hoots about Mac Pro's.
 
Resellers can't order Macbook Pro's

Well, speaking for many on this thread; We have two guys that just signed up and are spreading the rumor that resellers can't order MacBook Pro's.

If this is true, it's big. Can anyone who has some street credit verify?

Its not a rumor that we cant order new macbook pros, its real. Just ask your local apple reseller, they will tell you the same. :)

Well my order is in backorder... along with all their 17" MBP according to CDW... so I hope they're up to something good here.
 
I've been waiting for such rumors....
Are you ready for another round of "tuesday game"?
Missed it? I did! :D
Our tuesday game is funny, but new MBP would be of course... AWESOME!
