Hi Maureen And just to add to Ronni's post... Given that according to rumours the next chipset to go in the MacBookPro is "possibly" meant to be the Intel dual-core Sandy Bridge processors and that Intel have been delayed with it due to some issues, that has put their production a bit behind. Apparently they are meant to start shipping these around Feb 20th. Assuming that all the manufacturers may have these on order, plus previous delays with ones already there to get fixed, this has put the delay on the MacBook Pro. Of course, all based on rumours,.....
Assuming that everything is all "Ready to go" and it's just waiting on the processors to go in,..then we may see them in the next month or two (March/April). If there's a backlog to any other reason, then this will add to a delay in the revision. Of course, this is all based on rumour and theory and guess work,...so I could be completely wrong. Just from reading around,.... I'd like to get an Apple crystal ball,..could make for some interesting side wagers! :o)) Kind Regards Daniel On 11/2/11 6:07 PM, "Ronda Brown" <ro...@mac.com> wrote: > Hi Maureen, > > No one knows when and if they did they aren't at liberty to let anyone know > ;-) > > For what it is worth: > Product MacBook Pro > Recommendation: Don't Buy - Updates soon * > Notes * The 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro received a new build-to-order > option for a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor on October 20th, 2010.
