New Macbook Pro Rumors? - GoFuckYourself.com

Jake · 10-05-2008, 06:35 PM

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!

Every time i buy a new Mac they release an updated version with 3 months

I switched over everything to mac... just when I was starting to like mac... my iMac's HD just died all the sudden after only less than 4 months... make sure you backup!

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 would wait, i also read that they might be using a quad core mobile processor instead of the duo core.

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.

brandonstills · 10-05-2008, 09:32 PM

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?

DirtyDanza · 10-05-2008, 10:30 PM

Hey jake remember this

a shitty mac is better than any PC on the market

thats just a fact...

NickB. · 10-06-2008, 12:16 AM

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.

Jake · 10-06-2008, 10:26 AM

Also, is there anything like RoboForm for the MAC?

I switched over to using a mac book about 3 months ago and it is ok..
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...

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