Hi,
I have been trying to follow the releases of MBP's closely. However, I recently talked to someone who said Apple is planning on releasing a new "Monster" MBP to correspond with the Leopard release. Normally I would just blow it off as a rumor, but it does make some sense. The most recent MBP's really aren't new. They are just slightly revamped versions of the 2.16/2.33 gen, and really didn't bring any new features, or much more power for that matter. I, like many was expecting the June 5th MBP's to be a complete upgrade, rather than just an update to the older ones, with things like a Blu-Ray drive, quad core processor, at least a 2.5ghz processor, and extended battery, but little of that was addressed. I would not be at all surprised if they were released just to "hold us over" until leopard. Have any of you heard anything to confirm or disprove the rumor of Oct. MBP's? I certainly hope they are coming...
