Somebody should update the gifs, they have had this new look on the post-it note for a while now.
/ajprice waits for the gifs anyway.

A friend of mine wants the 17" MacBook Pro, but I want a 13" widescreen 1280x800 machine. Unfortunately for me, the Mac gossip sites have been predicting the former, not the latter.

Somehow that makes me think of an iBook with a fake tan...

Well, at least the 17" has an 8X SuperDrive with DL support. The 15" is single-layer 4X only.
P.S. The listed pricing is interesting:
It is listed at US$2799, but you can actually get the same specs right from Apple for $2699.
$2799 is for 1 GB RAM on one SO-DIMM. $2699 is for 2x512.
I wonder why Apple isn't advertising it for $2699.
P.S. We Canadians are getting it for CAD$3299 and $3179, which gives us about 85¢ on the dollar. That's close enough. (Our $ is currently worth 87.9¢ US.)

it costs less to soup up the 17" to maximum freshness than the 15"
i might make the 15" MacBook Pro purchase into a 17" now... DL support is very enticing

So there's a penalty for going smaller... a CTO 2.16 GHz MacBook Pro 15 is the same price ($2799) as the 17", but the 17" has a larger, higher res screen, larger HDD, and better optical drive. How is this fair?
Also, the return of FireWire 800!

Maybe, maybe not. However, I do suspect that it will be out before the 2006 National Educational Computing Conference, which starts July 5.
I was predicting a May release, but now I'm thinking maybe late June.

The 15 is more portable, and sometimes portability trumps size and bigness.
