So who here really thinks they'll announce the new 15" MacBook Pro on 4/24?

New MacBooks must be ready for back to school sales. Rumors are 3rd qtr.. Look for late July/early August. Anything later has a major sales impact. Windows 8 machines are already hyped. Apple must have a competing offering, but it can't be too early or the hypes won't match.

I dunno, man. That ETA is for the IB Airs with Mountain Lion. We're hoping we'll see the Pros before then. I'm putting my money we'll have them between today to early June.

For the iMac look for Mid May - June.
For the 15 - 17" MBP look for Mid May - June to be updated.
For the 11, 13" MBA & 13" MBP & Mac Mini look for Mid June - Late August.

Good list. Although I'd call the MBPs to be Early May - June. :)
 
Why do we do this to ourselves!!! Surely we are shortening our lives with all this madness worrying about when the next MBP will be released! I need to see a therapist!!! :)
 
I have been following the Mac update cycle since 2003 when I purchased that shiny new 12" PB G4...I took me about 7 years to learn how to QUIT obsessing over the next bump, refresh or all-new.

Thank you for the entertainment!
 
Don't see it until May/June to pump up Q2 sales. Unless earnings is really flat today in the call, I think they will hold off until then.

Yes, I mean to pump up end-of-quarter Q2 sales. If they released now, and sales are great, it would be harder to repeat Q/Q growth in Q3 and Q4. This assumes normal spike in new orders and sales rate decaying over time.

Ah okay I get your point. On the other hand if they wait they will just have LOADS of people not buying because they are eagerly anticipating the upcoming release, Im not sure its so beneficial. Meanwhile, other manufacturers release IB laptops/desktops and frankly I believe theres a fair amount of people who might swing that way because they dont want to wait any longer for their new awesome laptop. I wouldnt do that, because for me, the only awesome laptop is the Mbp, but Im sure theres alot of people who "swing both ways". :)

Had to laugh at this...so, why are you in this thread if you "don't have a problem"? ;)

Just kidding...we're all hopeless. Hope they come out with the new machines soon! The money is burning a hole in my pocket! :eek:

It's been good entertainment and annoyingly bad entertainment.
