Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros Soon?

AppleInsider continues to feed fuel to the fire that MacBook Pros will see updates in the coming weeks.

According to the rumor site, current MacBook Pro production has slowed as Apple prepares to ramp up the revised Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros.

These reports are joined by tips from insiders who say the Cupertino, Calif.-based company is preparing to begin -- if it has not done so already -- manufacturing ramp of its holiday line of MacBook Pro notebooks.


Reportedly, revisions of the 13" MacBook and the 15" and 17" MacBook Pros are complete and are anticipated to be released before the holiday season.

Hee hee...I was just about to post a response about how people should have a look around the forums before they make posts like this. Then I realized that it was an article...that's what I get for following MacRumors through the forums. :o :cool:

That said, I'm not in the market for a laptop yet, but I'm praying this is true just to put an end to the "When is 'Memron' coming to the MBP?" threads. Of course, with my luck, they will only update the MBP and hold back on the MacBook update, and we'll be stuck with more "Memron" threads. Ugh.

After so many "Next Tuesday" predictions, at this point I'm in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp.

:confused:

Apple sent mine out overnight after I installed the Aperture 1.5 update.

There's a surprise... :rolleyes: They're only like 10% faster too, aren't they? At least until Santa Rosa is released next year?

It won't stop (said ominously in the voice of that girl on The Ring). Sure, "Memron" will come, but by then people will start screaming for Santa Rosa, and the next platform, and the next. Hopefully someday people will learn that whiny posts ("Mommy, are we there yet?") are just annoying and rarely provide anything interesting for a forum to discuss.

I thought the same thing. I was like "this kid is going to get it...." Oh well we moved from the "after photokina" thread to the "before the holiday's" thread, are we now living in the "soon" thread. Will this be are longest or shortest home?

I don't really give a hoot about merom or whatever 10 odd % it might be better. I just want to know something. I think the current models are over priced for the hardware they are selling. I hope that we get something more with this new chip, becasue of money issues I am buying the lowest priced model, $1799 with student discount. I would like to see these things at a minimum
*2.0GHZ C2D
*100GB 5400RPM HD
*1GB (1 SODIMM)

Would be very happy and might upgrade to the better model if they were to offer black anodized Al, but that is a long shot.

I hope so. I'm on a "borrowed" computer which will need to be returned in a couple weeks. If not, I'll have to buy a temporary computer. I'm NOT buying a Core Duo. Not this late in the game, especially since I've been waiting since July.
