Note to self: Remember that the word "Might" means "Will" or "Must" on the internet and people will ignore whatever you say about it
OK, I guess I was wrong.
Note to you: BLAH BLAH BLAH, don't make worthless speculation trying to affect others if you don't know jack ****.
Ok, I guess I was right. XD
I don't really care (and this is from someone who bought six days before the refresh) - it doesn't suddenly mean they're bad machines. (What MBPs aren't, really? Aside from maybe the 8600 ones, and even then those work well while the GPU isn't dead.) A .2ghz CPU bump and a tiny (seemingly, please correct me if I'm mistaken) GPU bump? I don't really know if it's worth the hassle of returning this current laptop and getting the new high end 15", even if mine's essentially a low-end one now.
...On the plus side, mine's got an extra 512MB VRAM. I think I can certainly live with that!
Considering I paid less than the similarly spec'd late 2011 low-end 15" ($2200) for my early 2011 high-end 15" with hi-res screen, 8GB RAM, 1GB VRAM and Office 2011 ($2050), I'm quite satisfied too
I was just mad over how 9to5Mac attributes every single supply constraint to a refresh. Given the circumstances surrounding Apple, it was (and still is) more likely that the manufacturers are unable to deliver parts. I'd bet that supply constraint will continue for at least a month.
