Friend says new MBP's on Friday (5/18)

It's possible. I think Apple did release something on a Friday before. Apple can choose any day they want to.

This would be a major update and would be on Tuesday.

I agree.

Uh, yes you get two weeks. And June 11 is more than 2 weeks away from this weekend. Suit yourself, just trying to help.

And you pay a 10% restocking fee (quite a lot with a MBP)

What about Wednesday. A lot of Apple's recent products have been released on a Wednesday.

maybe they are mistaken,

perhaps their store is receiving the new 2.16 MacBooks that just came out.

Wednesday and Tuesday overlap a lot depending on where in the world you are. however, Friday is no where near Tuesday.

see how my brain works?

Tuesday and Wednesday never overlap in California... where Apple updates their store page.

Good try, though.

I wanted to pass along some information I read on a forum. They said their contacts at the local Apple store are expecting new MBP's on Friday (yes, THIS Friday the 18th). Not sure how reliable this rumor is, but I will get in touch with them again to find out more details. They said the upgrade would include the Santa Rosa chipset. Cross your fingers or genetalia.

Arghhh why cant apple just be honest with their release dates. worst case senario, I'll just order it this weekend and if it comes out next month i'll sell it and just buy it again lol.

although that was a rhetorical question, I'm going to answer it anyways...

If Apple (or any company, for that matter) said they will be updating X product on Y day, nobody will buy the one that is out, because they know what will be updated, and when it is coming out. It just isn't a good way to make a profit, or a way to clear inventory of the old models.

To The OP: I highly doubt this "rumor" is true. Apple store employees know just as much as we do, and they don't find anything out until we do.
