[QUOTE="mostro, post: 961446, member: 119367"] I think the speculation that they'll at least bump them to Core i5 chips (or possibly Core i7 in the larger models) is pretty reasonable. Which could foster at least a slight redesign since those chips run hotter. But I don't think they'd be significantly different than the current ones as that is their current design language. That being said the current MBP's are quite nice and I don't think you'd be unhappy getting one. I'd also want to wait a bit before buying a new MBP if it had the new Core chips in them, as there are often bugs and issues in a new product with brand new processors. There are already issues reported with the Core i7 iMacs. I'm also a little surprised at the poster above saying how the MB is better than the MBP right now. Sure the base model MBP might have a smaller HD and lesser CPU, but doesn't the aluminum unibody, backlit keys, etc count for something? And you can always pay a little more to bump the specs up. The aluminum is more durable, looks better (this is opinion of course) and the rubber bottom on the MB gets dirty really easily. [/QUOTE]
