10 Days to Montevina
With Intel releasing Montevina in 10 days, can we expect to see a redesign? Or only a performance speed bump. This image was posted on macrumors:
Records show that Apple has often waited a month or more to update their line after Intel releases an update. However because of the delay in Montevina could we see a new Macbook Pro as soon as July 29?

I like the shape of that machine a lot. It has a bit more character than the old square everywhere laptop.
What's really going to be interesting is what the metallic Macbooks look like.
I could see them holding off until the end of the month. After all, next week is iphone week and it will be a good 3 weeks before the hype dies down over that. It's a good way to push Macs though. Sell a great mobile device and then bring out new computers that are the best way to sync with and develop for the device.
I'm anxiously waiting for the next MB update aswell. I really hope it is this update they go metal on, but since that is when I plan to buy that guarantees they will not...
I really like the boxey design. The design looks more 'classic' looking to me, and it is fairly unique to Apple.
The word unique cannot be modified. Something is either unique or it isn't. There is no such thing as "fairly" unique.
That said, I love the symmetrical slab design. Please don't taper the MBP.

I think you understood the gist of what I was saying.
To also be pedantic, there is often more than one strict definition or usage of a word in the English language. Common dictionaries appear to disagree with you. Refer to either http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unique or http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unique for example.
Apparently I'm not in bad company, in the third common usage example Webster quotes J.D. Salinger in the same context...
"we were fairly unique, the sixty of us, in that there wasn't one good mixer in the bunch" — J. D. Salinger
Perhaps we should leave the pedantry behind and stay on topic?
Yeah, I cannot imagine the MacBook Pro or the MacBook with a tapered design either. It would be reminiscent of the "other guys." Then again, looking at the "other guys" I see that Dell's new "Studio" notebook line have backlit keyboards along with slot-loading optical drives. A lot of the other manufacturer's notebooks are going strongly silver...even if it's silver colored plastic with silver colored keyboards to boot. Still not Apple though. Copy cats! I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Now that the others are homogenizing the overall look of notebooks by copying Apple's design traits, Apple will have to raise the bar with a new distinctive design.
I would love it if the new macbook were just like the iMac redesign, keep the same case and just switch to aluminium. Would look awesome, give it a white keyboard to separate it from the MBP and MBA.

Yikes... If they're that ugly, I'll be even more glad I purchased a new MBP a few days ago instead of waiting on the revision.
