Penryn CPUs are to be speedbumped 133 MHz in Q1 2009, so a small update around Macworld is possible.
Macworld generally isn't for updated Macs. It's for new or highly revamped Macs.
Maybe the new notebooks will have a 500 GB HD option?
Got a tip for us?

They say on their site they are "Not affiliated with Apple"
Which might allow them to mention an update? They obviously have a source for Macs, perhaps this source told them?
hello everyone,
my first post here
i`m also waiting for an update of MBP to buy one
and i`m as excited about the updates as most of you are.
but i think it`s not the best idea to go crazy
while speculating about what apple might or might not do.
just wait
here are my thoughts on MBP update :
i think it doesn`t make sense for apple to
completely redesign the mbp for a little
"speed boost update". most likely, they
will have an event in the next 20-50 days (it doesn`t really matter when)
and bring out a minor update (maybe with
a slight case redesign).
then, by MWSF they will either introduce a completely new product or update the mac pro and the displays or maybe both.
then, by the time core i7 comes out for mobile devices, apple will hold a special event and introduce completely new macbook pros.
i think apple won`t make a redesign which will be good for only one year, until nehalem mobile is out.
they`ll most likely try to make a redesign in 2009 and stick to it for another 3-4 years.
that seems to be the most logical approach to me...of course its just speculation...
what do you all think?

just waitAre you having a laugh ? , this is MacRumors , we are allowed to go completely bananas regarding updates , plus it's also a good bit of fun too
It does to me and one or two others on here ! , I agree though that I couldn't really see them updating the shell for a minor bump , but then again I don't think this will be a minor bump.
I've been on the phone to his Jobsness and he said the 9th ..or was that just the voices again
probable that something funky will happen at Macworld for sure
Or maybe they have some chips on pre release like they did with the iMacs recently
I agree , a case redesign for only a year is doubtful but it would allow them time to iron out any bugs
It is a little curios .
I have submitted this thread & the link to the NZ website via the ' submit ' link on the forum front page , could be that the site being as busy as it is no one has noticed ?? then again it could be a wind up ??
Because the title of this site is iPhoneRum...I mean iPodRu...oh, never mind.
haha, it does seem like that! At least since, say...oh, MacWorld 2007 lol
Because the title of this site is iPhoneRum...I mean iPodRu...oh, never mind.
quality you said
and so I responded by saying that it is a little curios that is is not on the front page and that it may have been missed by the guys on here because the site here is so busy ..or it could be a wind up IE: a joke of some sort
And that I have submitted this thread via the submit a rumor link on the front page of macrumors to make sure that Arn is aware of this
clear now ?
I just re read my post and tbh , what's not to understand ??

Ohhh ok. I think you just worded it strangely and I dont understand what "wind up" means. I couldnt tell what site you were talking about either. Thanks for clearing it up, dude.
no worries man , I understand , I thought when I wrote "wind up " it may be a little too localized a phrase .
Alright everyone...I sent an email to that store:

And I got back an answer just now. All it said was "Yes, you should wait."
THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! NEW MBP'S ON TUESDAY!!!!

Not to rain on the parade, couldn't it be a possibility they just check out the forums and saw the 10,000 new MacBook threads? Even more so, that reply is given by our members to people asking the same question daily. I doubt that they are more credible than you or I.
So according to you, pulling a MacBook Air out of a manilla envelope is a "spec bump"?
Possibly, but remember...they are a store. Why would they want to stop me from buying a computer? Think about that...
I side with you. Not only are you 100% correct (store would want you to buy no matter what, normally), but I hate it when people do nothing but post "oh you shouldn't have posted, this has been brought up so many times, yah da yah da yah da... You are wrong.... blah blah blah". Its always the same. People get shot down. I thought these forums were supposed to be a place to receive help, not criticism for having a little excitement/need.
OK, I hope someone is going to see this because I'm posting this question here so I don't get yelled at for starting a new thread. But:
Someone said something about MacWorld. So, if it is "for new macs", then is it possible to release something better than the MacBook Pro? I mean, I really really want the MacBook pro, because it is possibly the best looking and performing laptop on the market, plus its Apple, but should I wait until MacWorld to see if there will be something better? I can't imagine something better than the MacBook Pro... And the MacBook Air isn't one of my favorites (most expensive sub-notebook on market). So, should I just get the new MacBook Pro when it comes out and be happy, or should I wait for MacWorld? I am one of those people that likes to have the newest and greatest things.

If you're in the market for a MacBook Pro, then wait until the new one comes out on Tuesday and buy it. Nothing will come out at MacWorld that compares to the MacBook Pro. It is a "professional" notebook. Apple will probably release a MacBook Tablet, or something like that. If you want to buy something like that, then there is no reason for you to be in the market for a MBP. Apple will not release ANOTHER professional computer; they have the MBP and Mac Pro for that.
how do you know it'll come out on tuesday? i heard just as many rumors about the 16... unless you meant that tuesday haha.
but yeah i just can't wait. ive been wanting one this whole summer. and now that i have the money im going crazy.
OK.. Thanks for the advise. I am not thrilled about a tablet PC either. Not because I don't think it will be the most innovative piece of technology that Apple will come out with, but because I like having tactile options for control (track pad, mouse, keyboard, etc.) Touch is nice, but Not on the screen that you will have to constantly clean..
Oh my ****ing god!!!
Lets make a deal fellow forum brothers, if it turns out this store screwed us lets make a mob and lynch the bastards!
Lynching is illegal in the US, you Europeans are weird.
If you wanted to be not so nice, you could send some executive email carpet bombs.
Not extreme at all

Read my post above this about my email to a store telling people to wait a few days to buy a MBP. THIS Tuesday is when they will be announced.
