So he knows the config of the new MBP's, but he doesn't know the ACTUAL name of Snow Leopard?

I still think that Snow Leopard is just the code name.
 
New top shelf 15" Macbook Pro configuration, late'09 (November):

New CPU: Intel Core i7 Mobile Extreme, 32 nm, 4 cores @ 3.06 Ghz, 12MB L2 cache, 1333 Mhz Bus
New RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1333 Mhz
New GPU: Dual nVidia GeForce GTX 280M (SLI), 55nm, 1GB GDDR3 x 2
New glass / anti-glare display (optional): 1900 x 1200 pixels
New superdrive, supporting Blu-ray
Hard Drive: choice of 256GB or 512GB SSD (no others available)
New two USB 3 on the left side and one on the right
SDHC/SD combo card reader on the left side
MiniDisplayPort to HDMI included in the package
OS: Snow Leopard
Other differencies: slightly smaller than the current model due to smaller screen edges (the black space will be almost gone).

Price: $1999 / £1299 / €1599

I highly dout this but if this true ill get money wherever i can, you know selling areggano as weed jkjkjkjk but i would really want one
 
sli in an apple laptop? No way. Craziest thing on there, next is the card reader.

I predict in November........no changes.
 
I smell bull crap. :p
I don't expect to see USB 3.0 until late '10.
And a choice between 256GB SSD and 512GB SSD?! LIESSSS!
 
WoW ... where did he got all this information ?! Its look more like a Dell laptop lol.
 
Hmmmm...

Let's see.

It LOOKS like male bovine feces.

(sniff sniff) It SMELLS like male bovine feces.

I'll leave the tasting up to the scatologists out there.

:eek:
 
Oh Deos....

If only that were true, I would be quite happy. Apple doesn't have a track record for creating laptops with an emphasis on high performance...just thinness. I hope you're right though....I'd buy it.

As much as all of us want these, I suspect that the next big rev of the MBP is:

CPU: Arrandale@2.26GHz, 2.66GHz
RAM: 2GB, 4GB@1333MHz DDR3
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT w/ 512MB VRAM(768MB VRAM in high end) & GeForce 9400M
Screen: less bezel, anti-glare BTO available, 1900x1200
Optical: Superdrive
Hard Drive: 320GB@5400rpm, 500@5400rpm, BTO 320GB@7200 & 500@7200rpm. SSD BTO, same size and price.
Ports: two USB 2.0, one FW 3200, MiniDisplayPort
OS: Snow Leopard
Price: $1999, $2499

Still unlikely, but it's better to have(slightly) lower expectations:D

You mean the neighborhood loony? Always a reliable source:p

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).
 
Late 2009? I already placed an order for this and the status on the Apple page says its being shipped! and I can't believe going from the 256 to 512GB of SSD was only $25 more!

Unboxing video to come... :eek:

I think you're still too optimistic on the GPU. :p

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
$1999/$2499/$2799

It does in fact exist. Here's a link.

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....

CPU: Penryn@2.66GHz & 2.93GHz
RAM: 2GB, 4GB@1067MHz DDR3(8GB BTO)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT w/ 512MB VRAM & GeForce 9400M
Screen: anti-glare BTO available
Optical: Superdrive
Hard Drive: 320GB@5400rpm, 500@5400rpm, BTO 320GB@7200 & 500@7200rpm. SSD BTO, same size and price.
Ports: two USB 2.0, one FW 800, MiniDisplayPort
OS: Leopard
Extras: New non-user-replaceable battery w/ 7 hours apple test time(i.e., 5 hours real-life use)
Price: $1999, $2499

Would be a significant improvement over this gen, but not nearly as good as a MBP w/ Arrandale. But we'll see. Apple might just surprise us at WWDC w/ new MBA, MB, & MBP. At least we can hope so:eek:

Woops. Double post. For some reason when I opened Safari, my iPod took me to the page where you post. Which gave me the impression I didn't subbmit the post yet.
 
Ask the Oracle over there what color the racing stripes on this monster will be . Spoiler? Obnoxiously loud exhaust? "Tuned by Jobs" etched in the side?
