Macbook refresh rumours....?

That picture (shown below) doesn't - In my opinion - Look enough like a Macbook to be a new design leak...
Apparently, a reliable source has confirmed a release date of next Thursday (24th February)...

I am also trying to resist the urge to upgrade to a new MBP. My Macbook works fine does what I want it to.
But god dammit I want to upgrade to a MBP especially if the new vers are out next week !

Think I might take the plunge this time. I have a Unibody MacBook (yep, they did exist 
) and it's done me well for the last 2 1/2 years, but I would quite like a bump up to a 15" MBP, especially if the video performance is up to scratch.

Hahaha nope, due to the nature of my job the biggest it's ever going to get is 13". I upgraded from a 13" MB to a 13" MBP in October, so can't really see me jumping on this refresh (unfortunately).

Best Buy leaked pricing...
http://osxdaily.com/2011/02/20/macbook-pro-2011-refresh-appears-early-on-bestbuy-com/
SKU 1535918 – $2499
SKU 1535845 – $2199
SKU 1535836 – $1799
SKU 9755395 – $1499
SKU 9755322 – $1199
If you look at the current macbook pro US prices vs. UK prices, that gives something like this -
£2103
£1838
£1530
£1276
£1020
I assume there would be two 13" models, two 15" models and a 17". Here's hoping they're a bit cheaper though. I have about £1100 to spend plus student discount and would really like a 15" over a 13! I'm quite excited about this in case you can't tell...!

Hopefully the 13" can be had for less than £1000

Pretty excited to see if this is just a spec update, or a whole new design.

That's what I thought about the iMac, then they released the 21.5" and the 27" models.

would have thought just a spec all apples now have the same look

Next step: give the standalone keyboards black keys

Given there's no media event scheduled it's likely just a SandyBridge speed bump.
An all new stunning design would get the full Stevenote treatment.
