Iain Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ok, I know this sort of thread is annoying, but I've got the money ready to get myself a MBP, but want to know when it's being updated next, so I can pounce on it as soon as it comes out! Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) I don't think it will be before Christmas now. They only updated it in June 2009. The earliest would most likely be January 2010 with spec bumps such as a bigger hard-drive and more ram, so that it doesn't clash with the new MacBook. Though with the new 27" iMac supporting the Core i5/i7 processors, the 17" MacBook Pro could be updated to use them. Don't think the 13" or 15" would get the new processors yet. However, with it being Apple you just don't know what they have in the works. If you need a laptop now, I'd go for the MacBook Pro at its current configuration as it doesn't disappoint. However if you don't wait :). Chris. Edited October 25, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jambo Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook_Pro Looks like early 2010 by looking at the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks for the link Jambo! Very useful. I'm in no rush for it, so I will wait until the new revision comes out :) Wish there was some way I could be alerted when it happens, so I don't have to keep checking!

Hot Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 can they get updated with some better ****ing resolutions please!!! :( You don't want that, trust me. I just got a 17" MacBook Pro, and even that at it's 133PPI is nigh unreadable. Until Apple catches up to Microsoft and implements a system-wide DPI setting, their current notebook resolutions are really the highest that anyone not trying to purposely go blind should be allowed to use. Maybe a 1600x1050 upgrade on the 15". Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a 1600x1050 upgrade on the 15". Maybe. 1680x1050 on a 15" is exactly what i want.. or maybe a 13" with 1440x900 :drool: to be fair though, what i really want is just a pretty macbook pro with some other operating system... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx12 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm willing to wait for the i7 chips on the 15inch :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fid Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Maybe you need Glasses. Yeah hah, I can read my 17" perfectly fine. Granted it takes some getting used to, but that's the same for every monitor really. Now it's great, love all the space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
churchonsundays Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 rumor is the i5/i7 are going into the mbp early next yr. im returning my mbp and waiting the few months to get a better processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fid Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 rumor is the i5/i7 are going into the mbp early next yr. im returning my mbp and waiting the few months to get a better processor. I would actually laugh if they're not refreshed early next year and you're kept waiting. Would you buy a car, then return it as you've "heard" there might be a newer model coming at some point in the future (which, like macbooks, is guaranteed with cars?). Absolutely ridiculous. That said, your money... do as you wish :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely ridiculous. That said, your money... do as you wish :D actually , i would wait even longer for the car. a car is worth way more than a laptop and a huge investment. but i get what your saying. but im not going to spend 2k$ on a laptop that in a month is going to have i7/i5 processors...who wouldn't want a i7 proccessor in the mbp?

pdmcmahon Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Patience, young one. For soon new models will be released... http://www.macrumors.com/2009/10/25/unrele...ac-os-x-10-6-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Maybe you need Glasses. That is a ridiculous statement. The current 17" MacBook Pro screens boast 133PPI. That is near double the 72DPI density at which OS X was designed to be comfortably viewable. It's time for Apple to catch the **** up to technology. Their resolution independence bologna has been "coming" to OS X for the past 3 major versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
