So ... just thought I'd go out on a limb here and say the Apple is going to release the new MBP tomorrow ... or next Tuesday. No ... no inside info or anything. But I think they'll get this out before WWDC in June to keep the thunder for the iPhone and we already know that they will be talking about the "top secret" leopard features ... and maybe use it as a jumping stone for a ultra portable or something we haven't even thought of yet for the famous "one more thing". Also we already know the new features of the notebook ... LED's, flash in the HD's, and the new chip ... so it's nothing crazy ground breaking. Unless uncle Steve has a new enclosure he is particularly proud of and he wants to be a show off. What ya guys think?
 
It's probably tomorrow, else the day after, else the day after that, else the day after the day after that ...

ummm...not true, lets remember it must be a TUESDAY...


ummm...but, yes please don't post random things with no warrents, i mean at least get some bogus news article

can macrumors, start a rumors forum
 
yeap pretty much

now im gonna be all disappointed again tomorrow :(

Yeah I'm waiting to be dissapointed again!!! I have a horrible problem or RSS on my MB and They said I could upgrade to the MBP and pay the difference between the two so this thing better come out soon cuz this thing is pissing me off random shutdown every like hour and I can't even type my papers without being worried

PLEASE APPLE TOMMOROW OR NEXT TUESDAY!!!

I dont quite get what's not quite true. Also, it was and still is a Tuesday when I posted my reply.
 
i hope they do, but they probably won't. If they don't i think I'm gonna buy a macbook tomorrow instead. In 6 months time there will be a new fandangle thing out so it won't matter anyway, and I plan on having the notebook for a few years.
 
I kind of think that the Tuesday expectation, such as it is, is pretty much on hold until WWDC. At this point we're so close to WWDC it seems to me that :apple: would just wait until then for any more product announcements.

I had really low expectations this time around (versus last week when the MBs got their small adjustments), and it would be a shocker to me personally to see anything in MBP land change before 11/June.
 
I would like to see it happen at WWDC. Its close enough, as long as the Update is worth it. Ie. Santa Rosa, 8600M GPUs, 4GB Ram support, User Replaceable HDD, LED Screens etc.
 
It'll come at WWDC. If Apple was going to do it before the conference, they would have done it alongside the MB update.

Anyways, the LED screens is what's done it - Steve wants the chance to announce these himself. The other specs will be mostly a disappointment to everyone, I think (updated with SR, bumped speed, bumped graphics, bumped FSB, bumped HD.. but nothing phenomenal). I think I might be taking a break from MR during the first couple weeks following WWDC.. I dunno if I can handle all the whiners. ;)

No no, but in all seriousness, I'm glad there wasn't an update today. My current MBP is on eBay until this coming Sunday, and I'd sure be sad if I'd timed that wrong.. :p

Yeah right. Maybe the MBP complaining threads themselves, but not MR in general. Besides with an average of 5+ posts per day, you've been around for a few Stevenotes. It's nearly impossible to stay away. It's like CrackRumors. :)
 
Try this drinking game

Drink once if a new "buy now or wait?" thread is made about Santa Rosa.
Drink twice if new "Santa Rosa next week?" rumor made.
Skull if pre-emptive "Santa Rosa MBPs Out Tomorrow!" threads are made.

actually don't... we'd all be completely wasted :rolleyes:
