They have some 15" macbook pros for like $1,599 for the 2.16ghz model...thats pretty good right? I mean, what will this update really do? I'll have the student discount anyways, but i'd be saving like $300?! Someone help me make a decision, lol. I was going to buy a new MBP on July 13, but now idk if I should just get a refurb now.
If there really is an update coming soon, then you can wait a little more and save more. Usually the price of refurbs drop after they introduce an updated model.

Wait a second, they detailed weight reduction for both models, 0.4 reduction for the 15" and 0.6 for the 17". That would suggest both models getting LED displays.

Doesn't mean the new models will, esp. with Apple pretty much giving up on the tech.
I wouldn't say that, now that the big iMac has it. I think there is a chance that it might be expanded to other models when they get a redesign. I think that the current 17" and 20" iMacs may still be using the same board and other parts as the original Core Duos, just a different CPU.
Who knows.. could be a misprint. Anyway, I'm getting a new one.
I think it's a misprint. I've seen other misprints before in the refurb store.
If I had money to burn, I'd still wait until after the WWDC presentation on the off-chance that there is an update to the product you want to buy. It's only a couple weeks, and ten measures of patience is better than one measure of kicking yourself for not waiting.
They definitely added FW800 when they moved the MBP line to Core 2 Duo; I ordered one at that time and am using the port with a LaCie Rugged external drive.
Give us a user replaceable hard drive, user replaceable optical drive, and a real Apple laptop dock. I recently saw an HP laptop where you removed the DVD drive by pushing it in, then the drive pops out like an XServe hard drive. You could also lock the drive in place by inserting a screw in the bottom of the laptop.

Oh bummer.

...or they rounded down for simplicity's sake.
Meanwhile, tipsters note that the company has launched its new online outlet store.

Well if they use OLED it's possible.
Is that like a Flockstar?

Then why isn't the dig link just integrated into the original post? The "digg it" posts are incredibly annoying. I was glad he was banned.

Well, we use "tipster" to denote an average Joe who runs across something interesting but is not acting as a "source" of insider news.
A "source" or "personal familiar" with something indicates the opposite.
Alternatively, I guess we could start referring to 'tipsters' as 'web surfers' or 'readers.' =P

I didn't know that. Is that new? The original Core 2 duo's didn't have that ???

Yes they did.

Does it have connotations of drunkenness? Like "tipsy"?
Yes they did.

I guess someone should tell Apple, because they are selling them without FW800 according to the new refurbished website

Confirmed?

Odd, I remember the original Core Duos not having FW800, but that got remedied with the Core 2s.

Agreed. However I hope to purchase a 15" with LED santa rosa and... I hope firewire 800 and flash memory. 17" is just too big for me.
looks like there's a lot of similar wishes floating around then...!
