I'm interested in getting a MacBook Pro later this year, but I don't want to get a Rev. A. model. When are Rev. B. models usually available from Apple?

I would expect the Revision B's to be out around the time of the WWDC, since that's when I expect Merom to be out.

There really is no "usual" time for a new version to come out. The IntelMacs just came out for sale a few days ago. Patience, grasshopper. If you don't want one of those, then you have a bit of a wait in store. Nobody is going to be able to answer that question, as everyone here knows as much about it as you do.

I personally don't think the iMacs and MacBook Pros will be updated until after all the other systems are switched to Intel.

You never really know with Apple though...

Yeah, I'm hoping as much. I just ordered a 20" iMac Core Duo for my wife, so I won't be getting anything else for a long, loooonng time :) I figure if they become available near the end of the year, that will give me time both to save up and to sell my PC laptop to fund the MacBook Pro.
