Thanks for stating the obvious.

Did you read the thread? I've seen rumors all over stating something could be coming in Q2, but nothing legit.

Sorry man but seeing that avatar next to your name still freaks me out.

i am currently pretty content with my 2010 13 inch macbook pro (2.4 ghz C2D, 8GB ram, 750GB HDD) but my processor is starting to show its age when analyzing files or loading maxed out ableton projects

as soon as the new 15 inch macbook pro with a full hd screen (1920x1080) comes out i am upgrading, really cant stand the resolution of my 13 inch macbook pro anymore, after getting used to my desktop imac 21 ( full hd screen) i find 1280x800 resolution becomes unbearable

oh and bonus points if its gonna be nearly as thin as the mb airs

those mac blogs NEED to post every rumor they see. its how they generate traffic and the ad money pays their salaries etc. apple doesn't let ANYTHING slip. you have to take those rumor sites with a HUGE grain of salt for that reason.

i had a 27" imac and 13" macbook pro about 13-14 months ago. something like that. i sold them because of a rumor that was SURE touchscreen mac's were coming out in the next 6 months. those touchscreen mac's ended up being the magic trackpad.

don't make the same mistake i did. rely on distance between releases. its the only solid thing thats proven itself over time in that regard.

Yeah that's why I'm leaning on getting it sooner than later. I can't wait until the end of Q2 (June) which is my guess when they will be out. That would put them around the number of days for a new release......but still too long.

If the average is 263 days, you're around 170 days from a new one.

I don't believe every rumor either, but considering the ivy bridge processors and 8 million pixel displays are right around the corner, I would guess there will be a fairly substantial update coming out later this year.

The last update wasn't that major, just a small processor bump and minor changes.

I can't see apple not updating when the processor they want to put into future MBP's will be releasing in the spring.

You can literally spend your whole life waiting on apple updates

Then it's a case of not buying 1st gen (1st gen macs, or anything = no thanks) so wait on that.

The macbook pros out now are nice, just get one.

Even if you wait and get the one you want, in another 6 months you will feel there's something out of date on it.

It's how apple do... in fact all tech companies (especially NI) roll like that. It's capitalism in action.

There is no end.

Stop the technology train I want to get off

This! There is always something coming. We've reached the point now that if you're not doing strenuous video production or gaming, there's a good chance a well taken care of laptop/computer will last you awhile.

Technology is still moving forward quite quickly, but what we currently have is going to last and still be able to keep up with standard user functions for quite sometime.

A MBP you buy today will most likely last you another 3-5 years. Do you really need a rumored retina display, do you really need an ivy bridge processor...probably not.

However, waiting does have its upside...just think if you would have bought a 3D HDTV a year ago, you would be stuck with those crappy battery operated glasses. Now they're coming out with the same technology as theaters where you use regular glasses/no batteries. Next up, no glasses at all! But again, how long do you wait and how much is the wait worth?

They just updated the CPU models with a couple of Mhz+ & there's a new ATI graphics chip with more RAM. This update was a silent one and as minor as it could be. It's just a simple follow-up of the industry's shift. Still, it's the same models, just with a set of up-to-date components.

I think they will release a major update with the Ivy Bridge and they will be one of the very first to offer Ivy.

Oh, and BTW, I need a new Mac since my wife spilled out damn fanta on our good old 13" C2D MBP last week. It's a brick for now, but I still hope a repair will be possible ... i miss it
