    I take it I'm not alone in seeing this and thinking MBP MBP MBP.

    Any Apple employee care to risk torture and death and confirm a January release?

    Let the speculation begin!
    I'm hoping for a Macbook Pro with USB 3.0 and blu-ray within the next year- that's when I upgrade from my late '06 MBP.
    Either that or a black Powerbook G5 with carbon fiber casing and a DVD burner in it. That would be sweet...

    Is it likely that 13" MBP will get i5 without price hike?

    @phytonix: Apple rarely, if ever raises prices on products, which is why they rarely, if ever, drop prices on products.

    Besides, since the average Apple laptop model lasts 7-8 months, I don't see them waiting that long to introduce these new chips.

    I knew there was a reason I was putting off buying a new laptop. I just hope that OEMs actually decide to bundle it with a decent GPU, not that GMA4500 garbage.

    @Nathan Obbards: Considering all CPUs will have a GPU built-in, it's up to OEMs to decide if they want something "better".

    In reply to Dell Vostro V13 Hands On: Bruce Wayne's Laptop
    I buy laptops for my mother who is the consumate business traveler. I'm sold on this. I'll probably have her shell out to get Windows. Probably have her upgrade the RAM too, but for many business travelers it's primarily Office, a browser, and email, all of which can easily be run with 2GB RAM.

    I'm mad because you can't order it without windows 7 for the good version.

    Why must linux version always get the shit options? The hardware manufacturers don't like sales I guess

    @loudensspam: They didn't say anything about graphics. If it has something like Intel GMA 500, then no. It has to be something that Apple has used at some point for it to be hackintoshable.

    I was just about to order one of the beefed up V13s, and noticed two HUGE mistakes. First, no Win7 64bit (only 32bit). Even worse, you can "upgrade" to the C2D and 4500MHD graphics, yet they omit an HDMI port.

    It is a sexy machine, but those are two glaring deficiencies, IMO.

    Also they should be shot for $150 for an extra 2gb of memory. Or rather, the losers who tick that box should be shot.

    OT (well, sort of relative), but what's up with memory (laptop or desktop) being so freakishly expensive lately?

    @ripfire: Huh? DDR3 memory has hit new lows for price, although DDR2 is going up in price now (as did DDR when DDR2 was released) since less companies are producing it.

    @ripfire: It's not that it's freakishly expensive now, it's that it was freakishly cheap for a while there. The market is finally, sadly, correcting.

    @Nitesh Singh: What? I got 4gb (2x2) of DDR3 (1333) for $70 bucks back in June and most of them floated around that price. Now they're around $90-$120 bucks.

    As for the market correcting, that's BS. I find it hard to believe that memory was freakishly cheap for 3 straight years for DDR2 (and those are up now too).
