No MacBook Pros until October?!?!?

How about we talk about when Apple might schedule this event now..

Just call it a teardrop dude.

Does this mean we'll see one of the new CUDA-supported, (for hybridpower) integrated-graphics-including 9700M GT through 9800M GTX+ in the new MBPs?

A couple of people have mentioned looking forward to 3D and specifically games performance as a result of this rumored tech. How exactly will the theorised technology improve game performance on the upcoming notebooks if it is indeed implemented?
-
October is pretty late, would they really release it after everyone has already left for college? Wouldn't mid-Sept be more or less the only sensible time to introduce new laptops?
-
One thing I know for sure is that there are a hell of a lot of guys going to college who won't go with a MBP because it doesn't offer good enough graphics performance. People like to shrug off hardcore gamers, but the video games industry generat…

Agreed. The price/performance ratio on all of Apple's product (mini doesn't count) is great, but on the MBP, it's utterly dire, largely thanks to the ludicrous obsession with keeping it 1" thick.
-
Maybe it's the transition of the MacBook Pro line from an overpriced consumer laptop to a performance one?

*dreams crushed* ughhh... jesus. The price/performance ratio of MBPs is really starting to get to me.

Then show me the evidence that suggests it's not possible to put a 3850 in a MBP, at least the 17". The only relevant stat we know is the fabrication process and that's smaller than the 9600M GT, a big indicator of heat output.
-
I said GTX* Also, nobody knows what the TDP of a 3850 is yet, all we know is that it's at the high end of the mid range and it's 55nm. The 9600M GT is at the low end of the mid range but it's 65nm. These are the only concrete, heat related stats …

I'm looking for someone to prove me wrong on the following: Since the 9600M GT, what most Mac users are expecting in the new MBPs (a pathetic card for the price of a MBP) is a die shrunk 8700M GT, which is a card hotter than even the 8800M GTX, a…

Maybe the new GPU will be an ATI HD 3850?

I want blu ray And what is the best GPU we might see? 9700M GT? HD3850? In the 17" maybe? Sick of crap GPUs
