I'm hoping for the backit keyboard and a 1.25gHz chip, maybe speed bump the 17" too?

One can wish...

i think powerpage has been predicting new Al 15" for the last 3 months. i would rate their "sources" as about on par with macwhispers. why is this a page one rumor?
now if our french friends made the prediction, i might be inclined to be a bit more optimistic.
i'll believe it when i see it (which also equals buy when i see it).

God I hope this is true. I'll have my brower fired up and ready to order.

Personally, I don't have a real wish list, because I would buy the existing TiBook, loaded up, as is. But, a new case, speed bump, bigger drive and Airport Extreme at the same price point would be nice additions IMHO.

I think you will see 2 processor choices like they have now. It would be nice to see a 1Ghz base model and a 1.33Ghz (from the xServe) in the high end model. The rest of the specs should read much like the 17" The 17" should be bumped to 1.33Ghz.

because a lot of people really really really really want one.

it may also be because Arn thinks it's realistic.

i keep reading these rumors circulating ....

but how do we even know for sure that there will be an updated 15"?

don't three flavors of iBook and five types of PowerBook seem a bit excessive to anyone but me?

maybe they'll just kill it?

Well if it comes out I will film it when I visit MWCE, I hope to bring some quality footage of all the new products.
