More New Apple Products... This Tuesday? [Updatedx4]
We'd originally published a story suggesting that MacBook Pros would see updates this Tuesday. Since that time, we've received conflicting reports as to what exactly is being delivered to Apple stores this coming week. Based on product cycles, the safe bet is the MacBook Pro, with 264 days since the last update. That, however, has not stopped Apple from introducing a slew of other products over the past few weeks (iPod Shuffle updates, Aperture 2.0, 16GB iPhone, 32GB iPod Touch)
Sources reveal that shipments of new Apple products (not just Time Capsule) are planned for midweek. Historically, such information tends to reliably predict new product releases. But we can't be confident these necessarily represent new MacBook Pros, or another unexpected announcement (such as premature MacBook or iMac updates).
Previous tidbits of information surrounding the new MacBook Pros have indicated that they will incorporate Penryn processors, an LED screen in the 17" model, and the new-and-improved multi-touch trackpad found in the MacBook Air.
Updatex2: Best Buy part numbers reportedly show new model numbers for Mac Book Pros priced the same as current models, according to two posters. Appleinsider confirms new Best Buy part numbers.

might be getting a new laptop at the end of march so it would be nice to see a slight bump in the macbook specs before I get one!

I guess this is Apple's plan when Steve said "...and we have 50 more weeks to go". Is it possible they are going to release/change something every Tuesday??

LMFAO - MR has posted MBP update rumors that essentialy blanket cover every Tuesday this year. Keep doing that and you eventually end up right and look like a hero.

I hope they fix the wetness of the new iMacs (20" models)... it's not nice to be a switcher and have a bad experience with the Mac* (As it is a wonderful and enjoyable machine, so we don't want former Windows users think otherwise!)
*This is not my case.
