New MacBooks/Macbook Pros: Processor Updatable?

[CoreyOlin]

Hello,

Just one question: Are the processors of the new MacBook line updatable? With all of the talk of Intel's upcoming Nehalem processors rumored in January, I am still hesitant to buy one now... unless it's interchangeable! Many thanks for your advice!

Best,
Corey

Corey,

They haven't been in any other laptop this far, I doubt they will be in these models either.

I think you'd have to change the entire logic board et al.

Nehalem is a complete technological change. In short, the answer is no.
