New MacBook Pros (and Possibly MacBook Airs) Coming on April 13th?

When we start seeing alleged leaked photos perhaps this rumor will gain some credibility.
Until then this is just more typical Apple FUD!
Better yet, lets wait till sometime in 2011, make sure they get thing right.
Maybe Apple is just going to skip the mobile iX series of processors. Core 2 Duo has been very good to Apple - maybe their most successful processor in terms of numbers of all time. I highly doubt this but by the time they release the updates Arrandale will be in mid product cycle. And we'll be expecting more updates in a few months after that
This just in: iPads & iPhones are computers. Story at 11.
If anything, Apple is more a "computer company" now than it has ever been.
what a coincidence: i was about to buy a macPro today for my wife, as her dell crashed a week ago ... just wanted to check rumors page.....after reading all the posts.. i am now restless ... is it worth the wait or should i just go and buy ?!
... is it worth the wait or should i just go and buy ?!Ahh i hope it's true! I'm sick of waiting! I need to get a MacBook Pro for school and have been waiting for a month! We'll see though

it depends on which kind of work she needs to do on it. For surfing the net, iwork stuff...it's more than enough the "old" one if you need it right now. If it's not, wait some days and if the rumor is not true buy the current now.
Sorry for my english

macpro or macbook pro? If macpro, I'd still wait, but it could be many more weeks.
Innovators?
Call me crazy, but I won't be impressed at all if Apple only decides to update ram, hardrive, and processor. I'm hoping this refresh is bigger than that, but if it actually does occur next week, it (most likely) will not be accompanied by a presentation by Uncle Steve, which leads me to think it will be nothing more than a simple update. It would be nice to have some sort of HDMI capabilities either through an actual port (unlikely) or a minidisplay adapter (with audio); also USB 3 wouldn't hurt either. I have a feeling that even if there is an update Tuesday, we will still be disappointed.

I'd still wait until they have the buy a mac get a free ipod promo.
thanks for the quick reply
It is actually macbook pro. and will be our first mac !! she needs for usual web, email etc., and data analysis-- which is a touch heavy job.. if the rumors are anywhere near true, then, may be it is worth waiting till april 13th atleast ... hoooh...i am partially convinced -- how to convince her now Even if it is just spec updates (which I am hoping for as that makes an April 13th release more reasonable) I will be happy. I currently don't have a Mac laptop so any update will be good, as long as the specs will make the laptop last me at least the next 2-3 years.
Acknowledging the fact that many professionals still use firewire devices, then no, it's not leaving anytime soon, or at least until Lightpeak.

just buy the damn computer, if you wait, you'll be waiting forever (just like the rest of us)
Serious Question
Ok, serious question time:
People on this site have poked fun at this but I'm really starting to wonder with the complete lack of attention to the MBP and the MBP users (us) will Apple stop delivering the computer products and service that we want. So far the answer is "Yes" they'll blow us off but I can't see it making good business sense to operate in the way that makes computer users second class citizens to iPhone and iPad users.

Maybe I got confused by your topic, but what exactly do you think is 'innovative' about USB3 or HDMI? They are standard components that will eventually be adapted by everyone (and have been adapted by many manufacturers already).
wow
I've only been on the site for a few months (a lot of it lurking), but it already seems like this is the fourth go-'round with "someone who works at a Best Buy in Austraslia noticed the shelves are looking a little bare today, ergo NEW MBPs AND MPs COMING TUESDAY!!!"
Can we please, really, wait for actual news?
Peace
