Me? I'm putting all my chips on this Tuesday (Super Tuesday, Feb. 5th) for an announcement, not necessarily the shipping date.


What do you guys think?
 
My money is on the 19th. I learned by experience that wishes never come true the first chance they get... or even the 2nd... :(
 
As much as I'd love the 5th, I voted the 12th, though I think both the 12th and 19th are equally likely, I'm just really hoping it falls on the 12th.

I don't think they'll wait until march. Now I'm just hoping we get a magenetic latch and new keyboard (I know the keyboard is highly controverisal) along with all the other hardware upgrades
 
Feb. 12
Based on the Besr buy info. (if true at all)
and the fact that it will be super tuesday i say the next week.
or even the wednesday feb. 6:rolleyes:
 
april or beyond, they just updated it in november

I agree. And the people who bought their MBPs in December while others were berating them for not waiting until January must be feeling pretty good right now. I know I would.
 
If apple decides to wait till april, they better not come out with ****** Penryn! Since Montevina is out next month!

That would be so silly!....penryns a slight upgrade. Montevina is a true step forward.
 
I will be buying a new MBP in late August. It would be nice if it were updated buy then but I'm buying one at that time no matter what.

Im investing in one May/June. Same thing, whatever way goes im gona get one then, UNLESS theres like a upgrade in July which i doubt it.

What your predictions by then?

Think they'll have Montevina?

OH! i didnt realize Montevina was coming out so soon, well there's your answer right there as to why they arent updating it yet, they will just wait and do one giant step instead of bothering to update to penryn

They didn't really update it in Nov. They just added the 2.6Ghz BTO option.
thats my point, why would they update the harddrive and CPU options if they were planing on updating the whle machine in 2-3 months?

APRIL/MAY

or even june
 
I hope it comes out on Feb. 5th but I'm not sure. Hopefully once it does come out they start shipping them right away though! I'd hate to wait another few weeks after they announce them. :eek:
