You are retarded.
Sarah Palin would like to have a word with you.
And seriously, come on.
Sarah Palin can blow me.
sarah palin can blow me! lmfao
I think you forgot to request a happy ending as part of the new MBP as well.
The happy ending will be with Sarah Palin.
finally!
A lot of rumors been floating around after the iPad introduction. Just hope that the OS is upgraded to include TRIM for SSD users and is backward compatible with current MBP owners. Personally, I think that new MBP using the new Intel Core iX is still some time away, but you never know for sure with Apple.
The Intel reps doing the rounds of the electrical stores in UK are saying Intel Core iX machines are incoming very soon, not sure this soon but their chatter is getting louder!
more ssd option and maybe cheaper ssd also 1tb hdd
more RAM as standard and one more thing price drop- which isnt likely-

Say it three times and your wish is more likely to come true.
I hope. I hope. I hope. I want a 15′ i7mobile with 640gb or 1tb HD (a real stretch); 8gb ram, glossy screen, iWork. My 13′ 2.4ghz 320HD 4gb ram is the best laptop I’ve ever owned. Ever. I can run processor/memory intensive programs under Parallels and it doesn’t even blink.
Keep dreaming.
glossy screen (glass) = not being able to take it out on a sunny day. Still waiting on the day where a 13″ will be offered in Matt.
I rarely work outside in the sun. Personal pref = I hate the matte. Saw it at the Apple Store and much prefer the glossy.
I say, this really is the absolute tops. One would hope that the 13 inch version will have dedicated graphics, what?
Just click your heels, Dorothy.
All these rumors, speculation, and prognostications…When the “new” MacBook Pro’s come out, we will all have to wait, and see, what’s inside. It probably is going to come out with i7Cores and i5Cores. The new 32 nm Arrandale chips, were just demoed, and released after CES. Will Jobs use these (question quantities available), or go with the 45 nm Cores, already out on the top-end Windows machines. The 45 nm Clarksfied Core i7, 820QM, would be my choice for speed, power, and battery life. But one, must remember, that with 4 cores, and 8 threads running, you are not going to get 8 hours of battery life. There are always trade-offs, some better, than others. We should see discrete advandced graphics cards, and would definitely see USB 3.0, and maybe even, Light Peak port.
LightPeak isn’t even a standard yet, and the specs have yet to be released. And there are no LightPeak controllers, cables, or connectors on the market because they’ve yet to be specified.
So I wouldn’t count on LightPeak support, since no one in the industry knows the details yet. All we’ve heard so far about LightPeak is a friggin’ press release.
Just give me an officially-supported SATA II interface and I’ll be happy. The “Pro” in the product name is a joke until this happens.
Bad news.
First, there is no such thing as SATA II.
Second, the MacBook Pro has a 3.0 Gb/s SATA bus… And Apple certainly supports the SATA bus running at 3 Gb/second. The thing they don’t support is someone else’s equipment. If you slap in a drive, you’re supporting that drive.
Not true.
The drives that Apple ships with their laptops are not SATA II, they have Apple-specific firmware that limits them to SATA I. They have a bus that supposedly is capable of SATA II, but a great many people have had serious problems with it actually working with SATA II drives, and the official specifications from Apple only list the Mac Pro as supporting SATA II drives (and, if there really “is no such thing as SATA II”, why would Apple explicitly call it out as supported in the Mac Pro… but not in the MacBook Pro?).
Terribly well said. I would plump for the Arrandale 32nm as we all know Apple’s penchant for battery life. Dare I postulate 2 core i5′s for the 13″ and 4 core i5/i7′s for the 15/17′s? Do excuse me if my nomenclature is awry…
Apple Store down @ 6:33am EST.
All i want is a 2000$ MacBook pro 15″ hd res, 4 gig ram and core i5.
All these idiots think that it is cool to play games on MacBook don’t, I fried my late 2008 MacBook.
From now its gaming on the pc and the rest on the MacBook pro.
Yep. I totally agree with you.
