I was wondering if anyone have any information about launch dates for these products. I am looking forward to buying a new Lappie, but I am not sure if I should wait a bit more. I know that this waiting game never ends, but if the update is near, why not waiting a bit more? It is not an urgent buy for me. I already have an iMac... so... just need a lappie for "fun" really.



cheers!!!

    Anyone who says they do are guessing. Apple's just that unpredictable. I'd guess either when Leopard is released or Macworld '08.

    But thanks for your reply!

    It is very unlikely that Apple would release new hardware to coincide with Leopard, though a speedbump is possible. Apple will ship new hardware after Intel ship Penryn. Now is a good time to buy if want something this year.

    Actually, your wrong. Apple tends to do a lot of (minor) hardware upgrades surrounding OS releases -- graphics cards, RAM, CPU speed boosts, etc.

    How is that wrong? I wrote "a speedbump is possible." People are wondering when there will be a new design and it is very unlikely to coincide with Leopard.

    I was thinking new as in anything updated. I think the MacBook Pro won't get anything new in terms of design for a while yet. Apple's "next big thing" will be it's Ultra-portable and that will take most of Apple's resources in their portable department until that's done.

    Except that some of us think the "ultra-portable" is either the PDA OR the MBP. I'm betting on a smaller, lighter MBP before Christmas.
