Despite persistent rumors of MacBook Pro updates, we've yet to see the rumored Penryn, Multi-touch trackpad MacBook Pro revisions. However, there appears to be ongoing evidence that the MacBook Pro updates are imminent.

The current MacBook Pros which were released in June carry a system identifier label of "MacBookPro3,1". One reader notes that an application called MiniBatteryLogger provides public battery tracking logs, and recently revealed an entry with an identifier of "MacBookPro4,1". "MacBookPro4,1" is presumably the identifier for the unreleased MacBook Pro revisions. The author of the application states that the identifier is obtained automatically from the system, though there are no guarantees that it wasn't faked.

However, this same new "MacBookPro4,1" identifier has also been found in the latest developer seeds of Mac OS X 10.5.2 from Apple. In contrast, the public version of Mac OS X 10.5.1 does not contain the "4,1" identifier.

In many ways, all this does is verify what we have presumed to be true... that MacBook Pro revisions are coming, and soon enough that the Mac OS X 10.5.2 will support them, but it's still somewhat reassuring for those waiting patiently for the new MacBook Pros.

Update: We've received confirmation that the battery log information came from an Apple IP address, so it is believed to be authentic.

Looks like these MBPs might be out sooner than you think, perhaps even shortly after 10.5.2 :)
 
Well, the Apple TV updates were just pushed back for 2 weeks, so yeah.. give or take a week :p
 
Good to see the range getting updates, but what of the MacBook?

I can see that getting some changes too? The Air might kill sales, so if Apple is to continue with a 3 laptop range they need to update the MacBook as well surely?

MacBook's been recently bumped up with it's new graphics (and cpu?), so it'll not be until well after the coming MB bump...

Whack it on so that it ends Sunday evening around 9-10pm (that's peak bidding-war time) and start it with a reasonable starting bid :)
