Next MacBook update

Indeed May seems to be a popular month for the macbook to see an update.
Also, I highly doubt the macbook will see multi touch trackpads within the next 6 months. This is a very new feature and is only in 3 of Apple's products (iPhone, iPod touch, and Macbook Air). Considering how "cutting edge" it is, the macbook pro is far more likely to see it first, followed by the macbook at some point after that.

What's to say mt is ever making it to other MacBooks? Are we thinking that this is the brand new standard for MBs and will just eventually trickle to the other models?
I think we may see MT eventually, but it won't be for a little while. For now, the macbook/pro lines are still very much "mainstream" notebooks and I don't see that changing for the near future.
If you need a new computer, get one now. There's no sense in waiting for 4 months for an update that will likely not please you.
IMO, aluminum is overrated. Buy one and be happy with it.
And please, for the love of all that is good, don't complain that the update wasn't what you wanted.

Not going to happen; sorry to burst your bubble.
The backlit keyboard has long been a feature of the "pro" series (Powerbook and now macbook pro). It is most likely going to remain as such for the foreseeable future.
Don't forget the MBA.
Indeed, and the price point indicates just who the MBA is targeted towards.

But you didn't list it.

Touché, but the reason I didn't was because I didn't gather that this poster was looking to buy an MBA.
But semantically, you are correct.
I don't know about the touch-pad on the MBA. I'm sure that it will probably come to the rest of the notebooks eventually, but I really don't see why I would need it unless I worked specifically with video or photos a lot.
Aluminum would be nice, but I also like the look of the white machines. However, Apple may decide an aluminum MacBook would hurt sales of the MBA and never make the aluminum MB now.
I bought a MacBook Yesterday, and I have to say it is fantastic, and the ability to up the RAM to 4GB and the better integrated graphics card makes this an awesome machine for the money.

I don't want to be mean but... there is a buyer's guide. Macbook's were just updated and will not be updated for some time.
I think yes, sometime, Macbook's will get a nice update with MT. However the Pro notebooks are overdue on their update and are definitely the priority right now. It is kinda unfair to think that only your pick of the notebook line should be updated every month. Macbook Pro is next. When Macbook pro's are updated, then you can come on the forums and ask about a similar macbook update.

Not always. The first C2D macbooks came out only 2 weeks after the first C2D macbook pros.
However, given recent trends in the upgrade frequency, I think it's safe to say that the macbook won't get any new Intel chips until November.
