    New Macbook Pro Rumors?

    I've been thinking about making the big switch to Mac and thought I'd get my feet wet with a MacBook Pro. When I started doing some research I kept coming across links with rumors of a new MacBook Pro about to be released within the next 30 days but I can't find anything solid about the release of a new model.

    I actually called the local Apple store to ask about it and recieved the following response from the rep there: "I can neither confirm nor deny the release of a new MacBook Pro". No shit, that's exactly what the kid said.

    Anyone here know where I can find more info on this, or at least find out if there even is a new model about to be released? Thanks!

        I've been hearing that a new ones coming, including here: Mac Rumors, where they say that it could be the 14th of this month.
        They'll never tell you that a new one is coming, because it brings the sale of old ones to a grinding halt, which is a loss if they still have inventory of them. They can't tell you no either, because if they say no, and a new one comes out, you could claim shenanigans.

          Interesting read, I hadn't seen that one yet. Thanks! Defintely worth waiting another 2 weeks to see if that date's accurate.

                I heard they put that off for the moment because of the power concerns. They are trying to go with a cooler running, lower power consumption "greener" apple, so I think it's a ways off now.

                  Apple has always been secret about their releases. Why would you let a customer know when you are going to release a product when you can just keep it a secret and force them to upgrade a month later.

                    Jake - Let me know when you are ready to buy. I can probably save you some $$$. I am glad you are going to go Mac. I have been hinting to you about it for years, right?

                          Oh no, I was hoping you wouldn't come across this thread. Yeah, I know you've been trying to convert me into your Mac cult for years now. Think I'm gonna give it a try with this new MacBook Pro that's supposed to be coming out later this month.

                              This Mac discount open to other Netbilling clients? I want a discount on the new MBP, mine is on it's death bed and I'm just hoping it lasts till the new one comes out.

                                    Yes, there is 1Password which is good. They also have an iPhone app for it.

                                            It takes some getting used to however I am glad I did. It's great to boot up in under 30 seconds and shutdown in under 20...

                                                  Hit me up and I will see what I can do. Hope to see you soon.

                                                      Whatever you do, just don't pay Apple's HUGE mark up on memory and hard drive space.

                                                          You will LOVE the macbook pro if you decide to get it.

                                                            Latest rumors have new Macbooks with Nvidia graphics chips. No mention of Pro model upgrade.
