Up to end of November IIRC.

Hmm, if this "new macbook pro" is to be true, then I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel for a decent iMac :D

Just put my 17" MBP on ebay.. couldn't hold off the temptation to buy this new model !!
 
and what if they only took the store down to put in the back to school promo with no new mbps?

=p

hopefully they also release a 13" mbp along the lines of what dell released yesterday.
 
Taking agggggggggges to update!

thanks to justin i held off buying my macbook yesterday haha, i'm not so fussed about the new features too much, but it all depends on pricing :p and if the standard MB's go down in price at all.

Highly doubt the MB will drop in price - it's only been recently given a speed bump up for the same pricing.

The focus and rumours seem to be on the MBP - but I'm still think there's a chance the iMac will be bump up, or at least a new model revealed come WWDC :)

That's my opinion anyway.
 
yeah, i'm mainly concerned with the price of the new MBP's as i'm not sure whether i can justify buying one over the top standard MB at the moment with an extra GB of ram.

and what freebies i can get obviously, already get HE discount :D
