Well, there you have it. Either it didn't happen or Apple legal just moves really quick.
I would have thought that the OP or other "confirming" poster would have at least taken
a cell phone pic or something.

There sure is going to be a lot of confusion considering those stock numbers are related to the Macbook.

Current Macbook Pro # : MA896LL/A
Current Macbook # : MB061LL/B
 
Some people simply hold their posting to a standard of "Is what I'm about to say important? Does it contribute anything?"

Then they have a juicy little tidbit that they DO find important and they post it, only to get crap for a low post count?

Please, some rare-posters do it to try and keep the pointless stuff to a minimum.

AI is posting "confirmed" evidence of the same part numbers - but starting with "MA" not "MB"...

MA402LL/A, MA403LL/A, and MA404LL/A
 
ok guys,

so, false alarm again. Nothing is in the best buy inventory..so probably some dude who says " let's play a little game to entertain them and laugh "...seriously, im so tired of waiting and pissed that i dont believe apple will ever release it, they will be ruined before ahahah....

hopefully tommorow, if not..apple has serious problems

While that sounds more reasonable it's a bit odd.

Old Macbook Pro : MA895LL/A
New Macbook Pro : MA402LL/A


I don't see Apple lowering the numbering system for the Macbook Pro.

When does a "newbie" evolve and become a "member"? :confused:

Keep posting this question in all the threads you visit, and you're bound to suddenly notice you've become a member.

It's your post count that counts, not how long you've been here. Theoretically a newb can become a member can become a regular the first day they join :D

I like my newb status along with my join date. I hope it doesn't change. I better stop posting. :D

Montevina uses the Penryn Core 2 Duo, so it doesn't really matter. You never will truly get montevina on a MacBook Pro anyways as they wont be using an Intel Graphics Chip or Intel's wireless solution. Thats what makes up Montevina. And Intel Penryn Processor, Intel Graphics, and Intel Wi-Fi. My guess is that Apple will save it for the lower end models such as the MacBook and MacBook Air. It's just a chipset not a brand new processor. You can look it up on Wikipedia if you wish. No offense to you or anything, just want to add what I know on Montevina.

I understand what you mean, in that Apple is unlikely to rely solely on Intel GMA graphics, but there does seem to be more to Montevina than simply the current Penryn processors and some accessory components on a new board. From Wikipedia you get the following:

The Montevina platform consists of:

* Processors - Socket P
o a second-generation Intel Core 2 Duo (code-named Penryn) 45nm processor with 1066 MT/s FSB with clock speeds ranging from 2.26 GHz to 3.06 GHz. It is planned to consume no more than 29W, compared to Merom's and first-generation Penryn's 34W TDP.

* an Intel Mobile 45 Express chipset (code-named Cantiga; GM45, GS45 or GL40) with Intel's X4500 graphics technology and ICH9M southbridge, 1066 MT/s front side bus. The graphics core is expected to be clocked at 475MHz which will contain ten unified shaders, up from the GMA X3100's eight.
o Intel has confirmed they will have RAM support for DDR3-800 in preference to the less power-efficient DDR2-800 SO-DIMM.
o NAND flash-memory caching branded as Intel Turbo Memory (code-named Robson 2).
o LAN controller (code-named Boaz).[4]
o Main support for DisplayPort with an external connector attached to the motherboard along with full supplemental support of the older HDMI, DVI, and VGA standards

* Wireless Modules
o the Intel WiFi Link 5300/5100/5350/5150 mini-PCIe adapter (code-named Shiloh), and the add-on card WiMAX (802.16) (code-named Dana Point), or
o the Intel combo WiFi/WiMAX Link mini-PCIe adapter (code-named Echo Peak).

Some people might appreciate the faster FSB, DDR3 support, DisplayPort support, Robson 2 and at least support for WiMax ... even if they don't need the other parts. Performance and functionality boosts may be enough to make some people wait.

I agree Penryn is likely to be with us for a while. although as usual Apple will keep things in a way that an update will follow every 6 months or so. I am like many and would like to see some of the newest parts put in like the faster graphics, blueray drive etc but I'm sure I'll be waiting a while. bt I'm probably the only one here who has actually got a bit of info from Apple themselfs. I ordered a new macbook black since my insurance covered my accidental damaged one but I had a little money left and called apple two days later to cancel that I wanted to change it to a Macbook Pro. they said it was too late,it was on its way so they gave me instructions on returning it which I did and as soon as my money was refunded I called and got the same guy whom I explained what I have always wanted and that I would be terrily dissapointed to find that it was replaced with a newer model soon after buying. he said......wait for it......"call back in two weeks and place your order and you should be fine" Hey everybody that call was two weeks ago.:) Lets hope it's worth the wait.....
 
.Mac

I doubt it's really related, but I just noticed that .Mac members can get $30 off iLife '08 until today 2/25. It just seems strange for a Monday to be the last day for a sale. I'd bet on some sort of an update in the store tomorrow.
