If looking at the history of Apple and its strategy, history shows us that there will be new apple updates... hey just look at what happened with iphone a few months ago... you think it just happened to be that no iphones available in stores? nope... that was the plan... 
i hope this upcoming update will be for macbook pros... waiting anxiously for it.... imagine if it is going to be like the air (the fake image ) would be cool... would attract lots of buyers...

No. But if I were running Apple I'd make damned f****** sure there was one. I wouldn't want to subject myself to the whims of Adobe. I am dead certain purely in the subjective sense. And I have served on a jury once. Very interesting.
Agreed. That and a good 3d app. Maya's great, but it doesn't have the Apple touch. It'd be easy too, they could just commercialize RenderMan. Call it Render Pro. Bada-bing, bada-boom.
i been waiting for my Macbook Pro
since last December!!
when i heard about the case design and many new hardware
updates , esp the graphics card, i been waiting ever since..
i thought they gonna introduce the new notebook around WWDC
but my judgement fails me
so i really hope they gonna introduce the notebooks
on Sept 9th
my college started already (freshmen)
and i feel left out when everyone else
have their brand new laptop...except for me..

Depends what the updates are right.
I mean it's happened before, a rolling release of update products with an event in the middle for a major update. then bang at the end product overhauled completely.
So next week could be update to MacMini
iPod Event the week after
Next week maybe some processor bumps for Mac Pro + Cinema Displays.
all to build up the hype.
Last week MacBook Pro complete overhaul refresh to stay on the Front Page for a month or so. It will be the big draw card in the near future.

Looks like all your classmates had enough common sense not to wait on a rumored notebook while you were wasting your time on Mac Rumors they were at the cash register. Its post like this that really make me roll on the floor laughing
Your professor should make you sit in the corner with a dunce hat on with an Apple logo on top LOL LOLAttachments
It's not too terrible, having done it myself to put in a 320GB unit. Apple could certainly make it easier (ala the MacBook) and hopefully will with the next revision.
Now swapping drives on a first generation Sony Vaio laptop on the otherhand... That was a pain in the arse...

mainly im just waiting for the graphics updates

so its all good
Well you can hold a lot in your hand then.
Blu-ray.com lists over 1500 current titles in Blu-ray 1080p. Almost every new movie being released to DVD is also simultaneously released on blu-ray.
New releases average $24 a movie and older titles about $18.00, bargain releases run about $14.00.
I would be happy even if the MacBook just goes aluminium. Something to look like the 12" PowerBook G4.
I would ALWAYS choose a hard copy over a digital copy. Heck, how else can I EASILY and QUICKLY move around a hard copy rather than a digital one? I will quite possibly never buy HD movies because I doubt they're actually "true/full HD" with full 7.1 surround. Plus I've lost too much stuff due to data corruption to not want hard copies.
If anything it is looking like internet full HD movie downloads are going to die by the time they start with all these data caps ISP's have. Full 1080p Transformers on MKV format is 10GB's (at least mine anyways) and with most of the ISP's (that have data caps) it means that anywhere between downloading (legally) 1-3 HD movies would mean you have no internet for the rest of the month.
I will check the Micro Center stock levels of the items mentioned to see if they have been discontinued ("Z deck") in our system. I've never watched them before, so I don't know how soon they Z deck them before a refresh. Won't be at work tomorrow, but I'll send a few e-mails. Otherwise you'll have to wait for my oh-so-important, groundbreaking information until Thursday.
Don't worry. I'm a freshman and I'm in the same situation. These notebooks will have to come out eventually, right? Right?!
Also... think about this plan of ISPs to start charging you for overages when you d/l past your limit (they of course won't reimburse you when you go under, but that's a horse beating for another day).
HD camcorders can go hand-in-hand w/ blank Blu-ray discs for HD home movies. And for film student, a pretty darn sharp lookin' presentation.
And while you wait for season two of 'Gossip Girl' to be released on Blu-ray, you record a season worth of eppys to tide you over. I could go on all day!
I don't know anything about the MacBook Pro (I don't have one and have never replaced a HD in one), but it is certainly not sealed off in the MacBook, and replacing it does not void your warranty--Apple even has instructions on how to do it (it's in the manual! ...and it's online). All you have to do is remove the battery and unscrew an L-shaped cover that provides access to the RAM (also user-accessible) and hard drive. The hard drive slides out and can be screwed into or out of the holder, which slides it in and has a tab for pulling it out.
Pretty easy and accessible by any standard, Apple or otherwise, for laptops. The Pro, on the other hand...
While rumors have focused on iPod Nano and iPod Touch updates as early as September 9th, the fate of the MacBook Pros and other updates have been less clear.
It appears, however, that Apple could be prepping for a wide range of product updates, with signals to at least some resellers to halt resupplies of Mac minis, MacBook Pros, iPods and even Cinema Displays.
Unfortunately, reseller signals can be misleading and could simply represent temporary supply shortages. Best Buy, for example, had shortages of MacBooks towards the end of July.
Our buyer's guide does show that many of Apple's products are due for revision.

Did I call it or what! LOL.
Post 54 (I think?
)Have a lot of friends at Apple and trust me, running out of stock = less REFRESH (returns, too bad for apple employee's though as they can save like 35% on returned items) where I posted yesterday, no STOCK (last was Wi-FI (before n speed express and of course, not the iPhone), but to me it doesn't make sense unless they somehow think Christmas is going to do it.
I think the price cuts will happen first, new iPods, then in OCT new mac line if not Nov. Then again, who knows as Apple always (so it seems), takes a look at these sort of boards and releases it a day off or two AND sometimes surprises us, just so we can be wrong. (yeah, okay, Apple does this to get us huh..._
LOL
Oppps, forgot to post my called it link...
Ahh never mind, it was post #54 in yesterdays SEPT 9th news thread.
Out of ANYTHING they (APPLE) could do would be, HELLO? Add a dedicated GPU ON EVERY MAC. Why bother to cripple it? Why? Really? Honestly? Why?
The PRO user is a fraction now of the doggie barking, baby crying, Louis Vuitton to Walmart iMac buyers, we are just a snippet in the scope of Apple's rifle. Really Apple, time to drop the paranoid, losing the PRO market to consumer products fear. Time to grow up and just deliver.
Just my .02 cents.
My predictions based on rumors and odds:
Sept:
iPod Classic, Nano, Touch.
Aluminum MacBook
MacBook Pro
Mac Mini
iWork & iLife '09
Sept OR Jan:
ACD with HDCP
BluRay
January:
Nehalem Mac Pro
BOOM Mac Tablet
One more thing...Snow Leopard
I won't be surprised if this is wrong or right. It will be a cool 5 months to be an
lover!

Read the forums and pivot accordingly, eh? In that case...
Apple, we don't really need a price drop for MacBooks then. *hoping BB is watching reversed psychology will prevail*
