[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 362689, member: 24160"] Personally see any type of hardware upgrade as unlikely. The MBP already has the fastest mobile processor currently being made. They could maybe put an X1900 in it, but the X1600 with 256MB vram has run everything I've thrown at it without any lag or dropped frames so far. It already has FW 800, it has wireless n capability. The DVD burner could definitely be upgraded, but is plenty adequate for a notebook. The hard drive could move to a 7200 rpm and we'd have to deal with a little more heat. I just don't see any type of hardware upgrades that make any real sense for the MBP. It already has better specs at the same price point than most of the competition. I certainly wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a quad core in a notebook. I guess they could change the appearance??, but it's one sexy looking machine already. Apple could have some secret up their sleeve, but just don't see any kind of major hardware upgrade they could make at this time that would A) make it worth waiting for and B) not drive up the price. If you're in need of a notebook now, don't see any reason for waiting. If you don't need one now, mac57 has already presented sound advice about waiting for the release of Leopard. [/QUOTE]
