Hi,

I would like to buy a 15' MBP and I wonder if Apple will release a new version this year or not ?

What do you think about it ?
Thanks.

Pure speculation and opinion, but I think we won't see new MBPs until at least November/December.

Idk, that would be a normal timeline, but the 13" has to be updated sooner rather than later... Core 2 is in the process of being discontinued.

Apple has got a stockpile of those things to last quite a while, and since they were just updated in April, don't look for another update any time soon.
 
Thanks a lot for your answers !
I think I will buy a 15'' 2.66 Core i7 MBP with 8GB or Ram and an 512GB SSD drive in WideScreen 🙂
 
It's getting harder and harder to predict updates as Apple is breaking a normal cycle and Intel is being inconsistent with their updates and Apple furthers the problem by not necessarily upgrading with Intel everytime.

There's no guarantee that we'll see an update for the rest of 2010.
 
I'm hoping for minor upgrade in august, or the fall. I really want apple to consider the ATI cards. From what I see, the 5000 series outperforms the 330m and it uses less wattage... So why not? Since apple doesn't use optimus technology they can use their software to regulate the ATI card.

FYI: Fortunately (IMO), the MBP display has an aspect ratio of 16:10 vs a TRUE widescreen of 16:9 such as found on the imac and some Win laptops.

Congrats on the new machine. You're going to love it! 😀

Oh, no MBP updates until very late this year or more likely next year.
