Does anyone has anu recent news? any dates?
Definitely by this time next year...
We can't be sure but a good guess would be that it will be released after enough of these threads are made. Or next tuesday.bebopr said:I was about to order a new MBP .. then i stoped the order

A summary of just about everything that's been rumored can be found here:

And you'll see that most of it has been wrong.

He wasn't being serious, just in case you thought he was. If you need the computer now then get it now, you still have the 14 day grace period after you buy it, in case the new one is released in that time frame.bebopr said:U mean next week? i need the computer so bad for lawschool.... where did you get that info!?
And does a law-student really need a MacBook Pro specifically with the Core 2 Duo processor?
I mean, you need to sort out your priorities and look beyond the 'want' syndrome and focus more on what you actually need.
And lastly, why oh why another thread? Couldn't you have posted in one of the gazillion other threads about this very same question?

Lets think/analize about that thought of yours....
Hmmm dont you think, that if you are going to spend a lot of money buying a better product (than pc's), and since technology is always changing.. a HUGE upgrade from 32bits to 64bits, and more when all the future apps (Leopard, Vista) run on 64bits, you should put PRIORITIES too whether wasting your money or securing your investment? BTW i allready lost a lot of time, and money with a tablet that died 2 weeks ago... now whats more important the $$ or the education + loose time ?? but as you say.. never argue with an idiot.

In the quiet words of the virgin Mary, come again?
I am certain 64-bit will make a large difference for law-students around the world (no pun intended for those studying law).
Do you even do anything that a 64-bit capable processor will help you do better? I mean, if those extra 32-bit means a world of difference to you, one would think that something requiring 64-bit would be run on anything else than a notebook in the first place?
It's not as if the current MacBook Pro will suddenly be comparable to a toaster after the introduction of the Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.
If he needs a notebook now, it would be wise to buy it now.
Don't get me wrong, we will see a greater benefit of the cool sounding 64-bitness down the road but I have my doubts as to whether or not it will make a difference in the notebook market for some time to come.
It is all about getting a good value for money in the absense of choice. I am sure if the OP can spec the MBP as he chooses and pays for exactly what he needs he would have gotten one long ago.
And please don't bring Virgin Mary into all this.

Most people dont know the difference between Intel and PowerPC, nevermind core duo this, and core 2 duo that (which most people will think is one and the same)
If we see any update at all, it will be by the 10th. That is around the date that most other manufacturers are shipping their Core2duo laptops.

Couldn't agree with you more! Well said. I don't care if the Core 2 Duo is only 10% speed increase, since I am paying for it, I want the newest technology period! Apple's laptop are pretty expensive (compared to Windows computers) which I don't mind paying for (beautiful design, the name etc), but when I am spending $1,000 more than the average laptop, I want to get the best out of my money.
Why would I buy a Porsche with a Corolla's motor? It doesn't make sense, does it?
For something approaching the ten thousandth time:
No-one here knows!
Which is, as always, followed by:
If you need it now buy it now. If you can wait, wait.
Lastly, if you learn to use the search feature you will get far fewer sarcastic responses.

I believe there is a greater than 0% chance that the MBP will be updated on a weekday sometime between now and when it gets updated.
