I've been wanting to buy a macbook but I really want it to be aluminium and the air is slow for me :( The black looks good but not that much. And you have to get the 1500$ version for that.

As long as it replaces the old ones, I mean in same price and all. I love the aluminum finish on the MacBook Pro and Air, so this will be sweet. Anyone hope they implement that new quad core laptop chip from Intel sometime soon?

As much as I'd love for this to be true, I'm a little skeptical since Apple updated the keyboard on the latest macbook pros to be like the rest of their line, with itunes controls. Would they bother with that with a full redesign right around the corner?

I've also really been wanting a new macbook. I would prefer an LED display, and possibly a SSD. Hope I will have it just in time for the new college semester...

Oh, and I cant forget multi-touch...

wow, just when i bought a macbook pro.

I doubt it will be too soon. They just introduced upgraded MBPs

Ah bollocks, I just got a new MBP yesterday.

well i think it's time for an upgrade if this is true. i love my first gen macbook but wouldnt mind going for an upgrade :)

Why? Why the hell do I keep clicking these links. I know what lies ahead. speculation. apple fanboys. people whining about how they just bought a macbook. apple haters. sigh. its getting so old, and it never amounts to anything...

So this article is basically saying that if history repeats itself, the new Macs - whenever they are released - will have a new design. Buried as lame.

This is good news...or speculation. Even better if they can ante up the "substance" along with style.

I have a 1st gen macbook pro and I was so close to buying a penryn mbp last month. At the last minute I decided to hold off until they do a case redesign and instead just did the non-apple approved wireless upgrade to 802.11n. I'm so glad I didn't cave.

I hope the new Macbooks produce less heat than the current ones do because it fries me when I put it on my lap. I'd hate to think how a stainless steel or aluminum frame would heat up if they don't find a way to make them cooler.

I would kill for a matte black MacBook Pro.

I was considering getting a new macbook. I thought that even the plastic laptops were pretty reliable and I don't really see the need for switching to aluminum.

That's nice and all but PLEASE announce the new version of Mac Mini's already!

aluminum = bad for wireless signal

Why mess with the perfection that is Macbook Pro?

it's about time

I just got a new MacBook to replace my iBook since they recently had an upgrade. I'll be slightly saddened if they replace their exteriors with aluminum, but still happy. I personally think it will happen since they have gradually been moving their entire lineup away from polycarbonite down to the iPod shuffle. But if they do, it will be harder and harder to find a reason to get a MBP. A light-up keyboard, better GPU, higher ceiling for configurations, and probably Blu-Ray doesn't seem like enough to warrant a $1000 increase for most. I'm curious what they may be planning to keep MBP's selling (tablet perhaps?)

The MBP is overdue for a redesign. The pro line of apple laptops have been in the same case for over 5 years. Also, the all new MBP will probably have Blu-Ray (at least as an option), and side airbags and electronic stability assist. That's why I've been waiting. This article provides no insight (everyone has been expecting this), however it does serve to inform people who might buy a MB or MBP now (~8 weeks before the All New Model (tm)).

I'm eager to buy a MacBook Pro, but I have a MacBook now, and I would really hate to go back to an inferior keyboard. I refuse to buy until it has the keyboard that *every other* Apple laptop (and now the desktops) have.

I've heard of planned obsolesces, but isn't this getting a little silly?

My wife's MacBook Pro will last her a long while so I'm not worried about replacing it. Let me know when the Mac Pro is updated again and is a bit more reasonably price, then we'll talk.

Buried because macophiles have appleinsider.com as their homepage. No need to have it on digg.com.

My Hackintosh works just as well if not better than any Mac I've ever used. I'd love to buy a real one, but I'm not made of money, and shelling out the money I did for my Desktop and turning it into a Mac was not bad at all.

If you've got the money, wait and then get the new Macbook or Macbook Pro. If you don't have the cash, a Mac Mini is really amazing, or just build a Hackintosh for the price of an Everex.

Reading this makes me so sad. I got a macbook pro last month and the week after I got it they came out with the macbook pro with the new trackpad. Now they are coming out with a new one? wtf?

i am waiting for the day when Mac goes in the opposite direction from the Air. I want a Mac laptop like a panasonic toughbook or something, that i can drop or sit on. I don't need 3,500 worth of portable gear that's so easy to smash. hardly holding my breath.

As soon as I get my mac they come out with new ones, this always happens to me, the new product sounds good though

Can I has a Braun?

This is how Apple makes it's money. It makes products obsolete faster than anyone. How many ipods does the average person own?? It's more than 1 I bet.
It's amazing how Apple Kool-Aid drinkers give Apple a pass when they build in obsolescence into ALL their products, but they would complain when other companies do it.

I hope they have the same style keyboard as the Macbook Air (that is, black keyboard on aluminum or whatever). Makes them look particularly nice, as opposed to a monochromatic appearance.

I think I'm going to wait to buy a new Macbook Pro...

Ffffffffffffffffff*CK!
I bought my macbook last night... Not even 24 hours...

a new laptop with a lightning bolt down the middle?! sign me up!

hope they dont look like toilet seats again.

How about a $750-$1100 desktop computer that offers a full size or mid-tower case, PCI-e and the ability to swap out hardware and upgrade the processor?
