MacBook Pro Updates Tuesday? (Tomorrow)

Monday October 23, 2006 7:02 PM PDT by Arnold Kim

According to various whispers, Apple will (finally) be updating the MacBook Pros tomorrow. As always, Apple keeps details of the update a tightly guarded secret, but these late reports claim that the new MacBook Pros will use the expected Core 2 Duo and both the 15" and 17" models will be updated.

The prices for the upgraded machines are said to be exactly the same price as current models.

Few other details are available, but an earlier rumor suggested larger hard drives, FW800 and upgraded DVD drives.
Meanwhile, Appleinsider posts some potential (unverified) part numbers.
