Since there seems to be know talk of these here, Nvidia really dropped the ball on this one and practically handed ATI the money. The next Macbook refresh looks to be heading the ATI direction too, since Nvidia STILL doesn't have anything to offer Apple in this arena. Oh well. Welcome ATI.
 
This is pure speculation/assumption, but perhaps nvidia doesn't care enough about Apple's small marketshare to meet Apple's demands (which I am assuming are hefty)
 
The previous gen used ATI in all but the low-end. I don't see any facts that Apple would switch for ATI MBPs, they could have done that in the previous update plus Apple usually keeps the same GPUs for two generations. I prefer ATI though, hopefully we could see options for both or at least some more options in MBP at least
