That wasn't there an hour ago. Amazon must have added the Macbook Pro's to their inventory. It would be great if we could figure out the product number.

Typically (not always) as soon as Apple announces an OFFICIAL release date for a new OS, any purchaser of a Mac after the announcement is eligible to order an OS upgrade disc for $20 (shipping charge) from Apple after the release. So far an official release date has not been announced so I don't expect any such offer or eligibility until an announcement. The announcement will probably be sometime in early fall.
I can not take this ... the pressure and stress is killing me.
I am so excited ... I am staying up until 12:01 AM PST; if i see anything screwy with apple.com I will be the first at the apple store tomorrow morning. I will also take the next few days off to install CS3 and Aperture go on a mobile workstation photo shoot.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Well, it's almost always 8:30am EST when they release it on the Apple page etc... the day of release...
Calm down and prepare for a letdown.
If MacBooks Pro are released tomorrow it's probably going to be a minor speed bump and not all that exciting.
If they aren't released tomorrow and released at WWDC, the news will probably be more interesting.
Either way, be prepared.
Oh, and nothing is likely to happen tonight at midnight. It'll more likely be around 6:00 a.m. PDT if something does.
Further anecdotal evidence
I've had a 2.33GHz custom build on order for a couple of weeks. My reseller tells me she's been advised by reliable industry insiders to stay up until 3am (we're in Australia) for details on the Macbook Pro upgrade.
The bummer for me is that my machine was shipped on June 1.
It's not due to arrive until June 8. If it's not an upgraded version what are my chances for asking Apple for the better machine (ie. not taking delivery of the older one when it does come in), and
Would I have to wait for another two weeks for them to put a 160Gig hardrive on it?
Has anyone had a similar experience? all advice welcome.

I read somewhere (from another user on this forum) that if you buy a new 
product that you can return it if they come out with new one's within 2 weeks of your purchase.
Is there anyone here who can comfirm this, or correct this?

That sounds like something the Genius Bar would laugh you out of a store for.I read somewhere (from another user on this forum) that if you buy a new

It appears like the situation is now reversed, eh?

Haven't people said this before? It can't be a speed bump because the current chipset can't handle any higher...amiright?
Santa Rosa isn't anything huge from what I gathered, but it is certainly better than the crap they did with the MBs a couple of weeks ago. It supports faster processors, more RAM, (and a higher FSB speed?) right?
If SR is in, then processor will be new too, HDD probable, Graphics probable - is that still a 'speed bump'?
I'm thinking that whatever update we may see in the MBP is essentially what can be planned on being seen in the new iMacs, other than a possible design refresh for them.
I have a feeling the iMac upgrade will be more dramatic than the MBP. Like it'll have a touch screen or something. But I agree that it will probably get similar specs bumps to the MBP (i.e., SR, GPU, etc.).
I can't even sit still over here. I might just pull an all-nighter refreshing the Apple store. (And I have work tomorrow
)
haha. i am here with you buddy. same exact boat.
here I sit 12:01 EST, nothing
oh wait...they are on PST...so I have still have some time to go
*edit* make that three hours to go
haha. i am here with you buddy. same exact boat.
And to think: some people think I'm weird cause when I wake up from my computer I take one step to my desk and check forums.
Yeah, they're rumors. But there is good evidence supporting at least a release by next Monday. Last time there were big rumors like this, though, they were for the MBs that came out less than 12 hours after the rumors.
I don't know what exactly would qualify in my mind as more than a speed bump. Something surprising would be nice.
A redesign of the four year old case, even if minor would be welcome. That would include easier access to the hard drive, a magnetic latch and maybe a more dent resistant surface. High resolution LED displays and better GPUs would certainly be cool. More standard memory is obvious since memory is so cheap and MBPs are so expensive. Ditto for bigger faster hard drives. How about some flash memory for booting? (The OS could be on flash; all data would be on a HD.) A third model in the lineup, 12 or 13" widescreen is needed.
I guess everything you and I can think of is what I'd like to see in the next lineup but I don't think very much of it will happen; especially if the update comes this Tuesday.
