I'm not going to bet on an exact date, but it's close now. I think the 17" may well be officially "Retired" at the same time.
Mine is pretty new, and I'm hanging on to it, weight and all! SSD's to enhance the new range and a 15" screen just makes sense....I think my Pro may be a keeper this time!
nooooo! not the 17"
at least it wont be the only mac speculated of being killed off.... *cough*mac pro*cough*
