MacBook Pro Launch February 12th?

It seems like all these different groups are merely speculating and one of them is bound to be right eventually...

It won't be the 12th since that's Lincoln's Birthday in the U.S.

I'm getting sick of this. Is everyone just guessing a date? Everyone knows an update is due, and what hardware should probably be included in the updated. But I'm to the point where it seems all these 'sources' are just people making a guess and passing it around.

This could turn into the Mac Pro update doldrums. We knew what new processors and gfx cards that could have been added, as well as ram and hdd needing to stay current. We knew these updates HAD to com, yet a year and a half later, they still hadn't. Could it be the MBP's turn to wait till Montevenia, or even till 4 core mobile procs get released a lot later? Apple sure is finicky and I don't like the foreboding sense the wait is giving me.

HAA! That's a dig at the "it's Super Tuesday so Apple CAN'T update then!" posts, isn't it?

BRING IT ON APPLE!

And make sure that it's a true performer with real high end specs, like dual HDDs, two FW400/800 ports and BTO options like broadband and SSDs on the 17" model at least.

Unless PC laptops with Penryn processors start shipping en masse and/or there is a significant drop off in the sales of the existing MBPs, I really see no reason for Apple to even announce the new models. AFIK, the former has not yet happened. As for the latter, well, there is only a handful of people at Apple that know this type of stuff, and they're not gonna talk, not if they value their jobs.

I'm growing more and more pessimistic that we'll see anything new this month :(

I honestly don't think Abe will mind..... :D

You're correct.I thought Lincoln's birthday was a holiday. It's not so I'm sticking with my earlier prediction of Feb. 5th or Feb. 12th.

This Tuesday or next, Feb. 12, March 17, June, Late 2008... :eek: It's maddening.

Hurry !
Today I am taking back a Macbook Pro that I bought 13 days ago.
This speculation in driving me crazy. Just realize the next update or announce that it will not be for several months, so people like me can move on with their lives.
