MacBook Pro Updates.. Imminent

[Deleted member 651465]

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

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

Will be selling mine too

2.4, 4GB Ram 15.4"

Gonna Stick it on here and on eBay

That's what I'd have done, but looking back it's just crazy.

Selling for a change of product isn't so bad, but replacing it for the next revision of the same model will show little-no benefits.

I'd sell and go Mac Pro if I had the chance.. damn my savings.
