MacBook Pro Updates Imminent (Really), Part Numbers Appear
After months of speculation, it appears Apple is finally going to deliver new MacBook Pro systems to customers. The above screenshot shows part numbers that Microcenter has received for new Mac systems. We've since received independent confirmation from another source besides Microcenter that those part numbers are real, and that we should expect new 15" and 17" MacBook Pros very soon. The image shows 4 different systems:
Apple System Good-USA $1799.99
Mac system #1 Best-USA $2199.99
Mac system #2 Best-USA $2299.99
Mac system Better-USA $1999.99
These seem to correspond with three 15" MacBook Pros and a 17" MacBook Pro ($2299.99). The new machines are likely using Intel's Core i7 and i5 mobile processors.
While previous rumors have pinpointed April 13th as the likely day, other reports we've received are less certain of that date. Regardless, we feel reasonably confident that the new MacBook Pros will come very soon.

The sooner these stupid things come out, the sooner "I'm Waiting for Arrandale part XX" stops spamming forum spy. Good riddance.

Lets hope the price bump on the "cheapest" one is worth it. If it is the low-end 15" and it gets a proper discrete GPU than I'd be OK with it.

I hope the 13 inch MBP gets an update. Maybe it will gety a core 2 duo, and go back to being a Macbook unibody aluminum

This really screws me up as a first time Mac buyer.
I planned on getting the MBP 13" in June. Possibly the 15". But not now since it's more expensive.
Bad move, Apple.

I'm going to rage so hard if it keeps the Core 2 Duo! :mad:
It's no excuse to keep those for the 13's. If they stick with those I won't be buying one...

Yeah, since their releases are based around your plans.
A handful of these comments are ridiculous. Some of you people need to realize that this is 1) a rumor website and 2) it's your fault if you built your hopes off of a rumor.
I personally believe the 13" will be updated, but we'll see.
I'm very excited for this update. Bring on the 17.
