Hmm.. considering the whole 8600M GT affair, I'd be pretty surprised if we didn't get it next week, or at least an announcement for an event.
 
So maybe I'm missing something, but if the front page rumor is true (i.e. Apple is eliminating Intel chipsets for the MB), then why wouldn't we expect them to do something similar for the MBP?

I'm just not sure we'll be seeing Montevina anything from Apple...
AppleInsider still expects something around the September timeframe. AI does mention that the September refresh is indeed the redesigned notebooks and will have the non-Montevina chipset.

If the Macbook pros are not getting a case redesign, then tomorrow is possible, but it appears unlikely. If they are getting a new case, it will be done at a media event. The regular MacBooks at this point seem to be definately getting a complete overhaul.
The MacBook was redesigned in 2006 without an event.

So many rumours going around about Apples note books at the moment I cant put it all together - Apples home-made-cpu with a touch trackpad tablet iphone interface, intels Montevina / Nehalem napalm CPU.... wtf! I'm unsure of all this infomation,
The way I see it (and I'm still trying to sort out the info):
  • The tablet Mac is actually the MacBooks and MacBook Pros with glass trackpads. (That would explain Mac OS X, full-size display, and optical drive.) I assume that the trackpads have significant gesture support and other features beyond what is currently on Mac trackpads.
  • Those MacBooks and MacBook Pros are to be redesigned in September or so, with a non-Montevina chipset but still using Intel CPUs. They may have 16:9 14" and 15.6" displays.
  • The mini-tablet (with enhanced iPhone OS) is separate from the tablet and laptops, and so rumors pertaining to them do not affect the mini-tablet.
  • Nehalem is coming in Q3 2009.
 
The waiting game sucks. Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos.

(Undying respect to anyone who gets the allusion without looking it up.)

This is a tech forum on the internet, dude. I'm pretty sure that they make you pass a Simpsons quote awareness test before providing admittance to these realms.

I found it funny that one of the hippos in the actual game is named Homer.

Having said that, Apple is returning to the forefront of innovation, and I don't care how long it takes them to put these first iNtel computers on the market.

Snow Leopard and Apple's custom chipset...

Say goodbye, Dell. (and HP, VooDoo, Sony, Lenovo, etc.)

I'm glad you didn't mention Toshiba. They are adding Cell processors to their systems which could have some fairly interesting results in the long run. :D

Be realistic. None of those companies are going anywhere anytime soon. And do you really want Apple to become that powerful?

Haha I read through this real quick and at first I thought you meant like real bio-processors. I'm imagining me running to the dinning hall before class to grab my computer a sandwich...haha that'll be the day.

Wait a minute...are you serious? I apologize I'm too lazy to google it.
 
anybody think they're coming w/ a redesign on both the macbook series and the ipod touch?

usually the college student only gets a free ipod nano w/ comp, but this year they upped it to an ipod touch 0_0.

so it would be logicial to have a new product AFTER the rebate has ended, therefore making the most profit out of college students by getting them to buy out the old stock.


maybe its just my crazy thinking. =)
 
everyone stop getting your hope up. the new macbook pro will not come out before september!!
why must yous all delude yourselves with the constant thoughts of MBP's every tuesdays
it hurts me to see yous all like this!

FFS, GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!
