Hey y'all!

I'm moving (to Japan!), and will sell my imac and ibook. As I'll be traveling and teaching (natch), I'm thinking of getting something portable to replace these. Intel/Mac is the future, so the MBP seems a natural choice. As it's (relatively) expensive, I'm a bit concerned about all the issues (noise, heat, etc.) I've been reading about. I was burned on the ibook as it was part of a bad batch of motherboards (and the replacement needed to be replaced!), so I'm especially leery of buying a 1.0 version of hardware. When will the next ver. of MBP come out? I'm leaving for Japan in August...

Any help/suggestions appreciated!

Another one.

the MacBook Pro's are just now starting to ship in quantity and and here we have *yet another* thread asking about the *next* version....c'mon...either search or use some common sense. Has Apple *ever* announced 6 months in advance when the next revision is going to come? Anythging that anythone says here is just an uneducated guess.

And another thing - read the other threads - I and many others have MacBook Pro's with no problems at all..I have bought *several* first versions of Apple hardware and NEVER had a problem with a single one. Remember - the people that post here are usually just the few that *DO* have problems and are not always representative of what problems any computer is like to have or not have. Just because a few do does not mean they ALL do. How many times does it have to be said???

i don't really got any problems with my stock 1.83 macbook pro. I hope they don't come out with one anytime soon since I had just recieved mine only a couple weeks ago. Most laptops will inevitably have problems anyways. According to apple's "cycle of updating", you should prolly expect something next year since there are other products in the apple line still in need to transition to intel.

Hi Mr. Blur:

Please read my post. My ibook had to be repaired _twice_ for a bad motherboard. As I am a student this was a great inconvenience to me. Apple apologetics are the worst - it's ok to hate Nike and Starbuck and the Gap, but Apple is sacrosanct...dude, it's just another big company that wants your money. Sorry. Thanks for your fact-less post. Please insert your *sigh* statements and eye-rolling icons at will.

MPJ: thanks for your reply.

September or October... possibly July or August if Merom launches in July or August.

I say in 4 months, around end of August or beginning of Sept.
