What are you replacing when you get a revised MBP?

Just replacing my first-generation MacBook Pro... Gave me quite a headache at times. I remember when everybody was complaining about its name when it was announced.

I will be replacing my SR MacBook Pro, if it comes in time for me to still be within my 30 day window. I bought this machine on Jan 16 because I really needed a computer as my old one was gone. I figure if I use it for a month and no updates then it was worth purchasing because I couldn't go a whole month without a computer for work. And if it comes within the month then I return and swap.
I only have two gripes about my current MBP: 1. Is that it has the same processor as a MB - and I don't use my graphics card, so I am paying quite the premium for just a bigger screen. 2. My screen has the slight yellowing issue. I can't see it normally, but if I run the test on it, I can see it.
I hope the updated ones fix both of those issues (ala Penryn and better LED panels). Easy access to hard drive upgrades ala MacBooks would be a bonus, as I always upgrade my laptop's hard drive.
However, having purchased quite a few computers over the years, I know no machine comes perfect. Whether its Dells or Apple's. And when you trade one machine because of some niggle, the new one will also have some niggle too that you just hadn't realized. Such is life, unfortunately.

I've got an 03 TiBook. Battery connector is shot (it sparks when connected so no battery anymore), firewire port is burnt out, powerport is on its last leg, it started with a gig of ram, but now something is wrong and it only registers 768mb, left hinge is gone, you have to pinch the drive to eject discs, running (or not) leopard, missing an arrow key, plus asthetic tragedy

I'll be replacing my 1.33ghz iBook. I don't really need a new laptop, but I can't wait any longer to change to Intel. I've been holding off for a couple of years.
