    Looks like with only the 2.4ghz chips with the i5 branding. I would expect i3s, if they show up at all, in the white Macbook.



    However, the real question isn't going to be the CPUs as they were pretty much a given. With Nvidia chipsets not out of the picture, will Apple take a couple steps back and use intel's integrated graphics or return to a dedicated low end solution like the PPC days.

    These will feature NuBus.



    Apple's going back to in-house design, baby.

    Everyone just be patient for a few more hours at we'll get to see all the specs when the Apple Store comes back up. The iPad, a root canal for the wife, and a few other things have unfortunately drained the MBP budget at the moment. Hopefully I'll be getting one in a couple months. Just have to see how busy work is the next several weeks, and if we are able to sell the jetski.



    Hey... Anyone in the market for a jetski?

    Confused.



    The SD flash storage is in addition to the standard hard drives (add-on) or are these new machines now LIMITED to a max of 512GB SD flash storage? If they're limited that would suck and it would be like a thicker/heavier MacBook Air.



    Anyway it looks like there isn't much difference between my 2007 MacBook and these new ones besides being equipped with 4GB RAM and the uni-body from last year. The display type doesn't sway my decision either way.



    I would have thought that new 2010 MacBooks could easily play CPU intensive games/audio or video sessions or some other incentive to buy them over an iPad. So we still have to carry around 5lb 15x15 non-netbooks.

    I think it is meant to mean that there is a 512GB SSD HARD DISK storage option (not SD) where the previous max when custom ordering was 256GB SSD. The SD slot and what not would remain the same, I suspect.

    They won't play Flash. Upon recognizing Flash content you'll be redirected here:

    yay FINE FSCKIN ALLY!!! I want a 15.4" 1920x1200, ExpressCard and 512GB SSD (Sandforce or Intel based not budget SSD's), couldn't care less what discrete GPU it has as long as it isn't integrated.



    And, yes people, we know every store is down!! We don't need a listing of every store on the planets' status, when one goes down they are all down.

    Although I think the GT335M is much more acceptable a GPU than the GT330M, those specs don't make sense given that 1GB VRAM can't be accomplished given that the highest density current GDDR3 are 1Gb (128MB) and Apple only has space for 4 chips for a 512MB limitation. Apple also wouldn't use the GT330M in one model, since that's very inefficient.

    At the Regent street store right now. They have no idea when the new Macbook Pro models will be in stock. The guy didn't even know a refresh was in process. A typical London customer service - polite but totally incompetent ... LOL

    Imagine if the Store isn't actually down for a refresh but for, say, software updates.



    AppleInsider would explode.

    LMFAO, a mass jump off a cliff with our MBP's, like the mass cow suicide in South Park hehe. Ah I hope it's MBP's about ready to take an axe to my 2008 POS MBP

    Appleinsider sources (China??) have so far been rather accurate in these matters ... ) The fact is though that they don't have the actual computers here in London.



    In the meantime - the Apple Store (the virtual one) has been updated. There is a refresh !



    They upped the prices in pounds by at least a 100 Poor sterling ...
