Will there be another MBP update during WWDC '10 in June?

Wow, I didn't know my thread is still going... haha...

Even if they opt in some free minor options to MBP, I am still very tempted to get mine on the coming Friday... :D

yeah i'm curious to what the next gens will look like. although i honestly wouldn't mind if they kept the current unibody for many years to come. its perfect IMO (only negative ive heard about it is the "sharp edges" which really isn't a problem) so i don't know how they can change something that is already perfect.

Hmmm, with something more perfect . . .

something that we don't even imagine! But in my personal view that will happen in about two years, not sooner.

2) What printer would you recommend to get from Apple? I am planning to take advantage of the FREE printer offer of $100 rebate...

I've had bad luck with multiple HP printers, including the freebie we got from Apple with my wife's Macbook a couple years ago. In my opinion, all consumer grade printers are more trouble than they're worth -- the hardware is made as cheaply as possible to try to rope you into the incredibly overpriced ink cartridges. Now I just print stuff out at work if I really have to, and the HP gathers dust in the closet.

So yeah, don't get one at all unless you absolutely need it, and don't buy an HP in any case.

Can't agree more. ;)

Until January 2011 there will be no update in the macbook pro line.

And which Intel (assume) will they be ? I'm confused with Arrandale, Clarksfield i5 etc. I take it they will be a 'proper' multi core chip rather than a core 2 with HT (like the i5)

Thank You

See, I have the opposite. I've always had good luck with HP printers. I wouldn't buy Epson (I think that was the brand) cause the damned drivers make you fool the printer into printing more when they claim the ink cartridge runs out (basically it only counts how many pages were printed so it really doens't know, but it won't let you print unless you figure out how to fool it into thinking you put a new cartridge in). Well, I don't know about wouldn't, but it really would bias me against them.

And I told my roommate I'd slap him if he bought a Lexmark.... talk about your POS company. I have to deal with their POS at work. I'd rather have a Brother printer. For example of Lexmark's cruddy engineering, the old version of my work's printer would reliabley jam if you put a full ream of paper in it (it was designed to put a full ream in). So how do the lazy engineers at Lexmark fix the problem in the newer version of the printer? They made it so you can't put a full ream of paper in it. This is a business printer which means it goes through a decent amount of paper. Now it has to be filled a whole lot more.

You could not give me a free Lexmark unless that was the only way I could have a printer.

I have avoided InkJet printers because of the high cost of the media and the, usually, low quality of the printers. I have always stuck with laser printers. Although laser printers, especially color laser printers, are generally considerably more expensive that InkJets, they are also generally better made and the cost per copy of their output is only a fraction of an InkJet's. My current printer is an Oki 5300n color laser. It was expensive but it has been in every day use for 7 years and I have not had to spend a dime on repairs. Also, on the few occasions when I have had trouble with it, a telephone tech support guy at Oki has helped me solve my problem quickly. My old 5300 is probably nearing the end of its run but it has been nice, well worth what I paid for it.

I too have had nothing but excellent experience with HP printers and Apple computers...for me, they have worked flawlessly and the setup on my i5 15" MBP was seamless and immediate (Snow Leopard picked up the Bonjour connected HP in seconds and installed the proper drivers).
 
Seeing that the current machine is the Mid-2010 (despite everyone else naming it as the Early 2010) model, no update should be expected.
