I think you're still too optimistic on the GPU.As much as all of us want these, I suspect that the next big rev of the MBP is:

Still unlikely, but it's better to have(slightly) lower expectations![]()
It does in fact exist. Here's a link.Forget the 9800m GT (does it even exist?) Apple will stick with the 9600m GT until Nvidia get their new range of mobile GPUs. An 110-120-130m seems likely (if they stick with the naming scheme).
I couldn't see all of that for june, I was predicting the next major update. To me, this means Arrandale, but for the next update I would predict....I think you're still too optimistic on the GPU.
My predictions for June:
2.53/2.8 GHz Penryn, 3.07 GHz BTO
4 GB RAM standard
GT 1x0 GPUs + integrated
320/500 GB HDD, 7200 RPM and SSD BTO

Yup. That should be called the MacBook Pro.I do wish Apple would get off this thin laptop design deal and make a real performance laptop.
