I want Merom. Then I'll start talking about getting another Mac. Or else, whatsoever Intel Core/Yonah is a clear no.
Got a tip for us?

Udi/hdmi/hdcp
I'm interested to see if Apple does anything about supporting UDI on the MacPros. Blu-ray and/or HD-DVD are the tipping point for this.
UDI is basically HDMI but for computers so the computer manufacturers don't have to pay the HDMI fees. HDMI is a interface required for HDCP and HDCP is what the new hi-def content will be restricted by. (hope that all makes sense).
UDI also means the cinema displays being updated.
I feel, whenever this does happen, the MacPros will get it first, but I hope the MBPs follow pretty soon or get it at the same time.
It would also be nice to know what happens to those of us that already own a 30" cinema display regarding HDCP. SOL I fear will be the acronym of choice...

as much as I would love to see an ultra light portable, I don't see it happening since the've been advertising "The Family is Now Complete..."

I'm not sure what the problem here is. The Mac OSX equivalent is:
Select files, CTRL-C, CMD-Up Arrow to go to parent, CTRL-V
So it's just one extra keypress. Doesn't seem that big of a deal.

All I want is the redesigned MBP with a merom in it.
No heat problems.
No whine problems.
No farm noises.
DL Superdrive and FW800 would be nice. (on the 15")
I don't care if it's slightly thicker. I never understood the importance of having a one-inch thin laptop. I'd gladly take a 1.2 inch laptop with more features and better ventilation. Easily replacable RAM and HDD would be awesome. I could care less about the magnetic latch though.

I know the Mac Pro is coming, I think it would only make sense that they speedbump the MacBook Pro to keep up with the Pro-Line. I really don't care how the Mac Pro is designed on the outside, I just want a screaming fast mac..
I can't wait to see Steve Jobs' say "The Quad Mac Pro is 4-5 Times Faster than the Quad G5"
I'm getting anxious!!!
It is guaranteed that we will get a preview of Leopard, along with a shipping date and all that...

If that happened, then Digidesign would be in serious trouble -- the G5 Quad is already as fast as their proprietary HD1 DSP card and 4-5 times faster computer would put their DSP farm into shame. That can't happen yet, so either the new Mac Pro is not very much faster than the current Quad or Digidesign has a new generation of DSP cards waiting for release...
...or maybe it's the end of dedicated DSP processing. Who knows
One thing no one seems to touch on, anyone think we'll see anything major as far as the "Pro" software from Apple goes? I ask this from the point of view of being a prosepective Logic Pro purchaser.
I have over 300 channels on my TV. Surely one of them could show the keynote live! I get very annoyed with streamming on the web. However beautiful the product is, it looks terrible when the artifacts kick in.

Hey JFreak,
I always thought that you had a bad 70's mullet. Forgive me, but the background to your avatar, makes it look like there are curls back there.

I think you need to give yourself a little trim in Photoshop.
All meant in the pursuit of good humour!

For just about every Intel product that has come out, Apple has showed off it's power by putting a "2-3x or 4-5x faster" sign next to it telling us that these are seriously faster.
I wonder how Steve Jobs is going to present the new Mac Pro, if he knows it's not that much faster than the Quad G5 it replaces, then he won't be showing many benchmarks...

So do I, but I'll eat my hat if one does get released
