New MacBook Pro model?

jpetticrew · 04-11-2008, 10:23 PM

What does everyone think the likelihood of a cosmetically redesigned MacBook Pro with the Montevina chipset release would be before August? I am going to college next year and I am going to buy a MacBook Pro. I'm going to buy one either way because, let's face it, they are magical and awesome at their current state.

I have read predictions about the MacBooks and the Pros geting redesigns and being anounced at WWDC, but I would like to hear some of your thoughts on the matter.

If they are redesigned and released in June or July, I woud like to see:
MacBook Air hinges
The "chicklet" keyboard with backlight
One more USB port on the 15" model
Blu-Ray drive (Not super important)

What would you guys like to see? Gosh, I am so unbelievably toked that in a matter of months I will have a MacBook Pro. I'm almost giddy!

all that stuff would be awesome. i won't pretend to know how often Apple updates these things, but they did just do that only a month or two ago... and to do it again in another couple of months?

i would also like a delete button, but i'm not getting my hopes up.

True, they did update them internally about a couple months ago, but I am talking a about a complete redesign. The MacBook hasn't been updated since 2006 and the PRo hasn't gotten one since 2003 when the aluminum PowerBook was introduced. I just think it's time for a change.

Here's an interesting discussion from Apple Insider:
