Is Tomorrow the Day? UPDATEx2
Looprumors and MacRumors are both reporting we may finally see new MacBook Pros tomorrow February 27th. As of the most recent update three new model numbers have appeared in Best Buy inventory with current prices. Predicted updates are Penryn chips LED screens for all models and multi-touch trackpads. However, I’m a little leery on the trackpads. I think that will come with an eventual design overhaul to the system which will also include the MacBook Air keyboard.
My main desires are penryn processors and new video cards. Time capsule is also expected to be shipping this week but that will most likely not coincide with whatever Tuesday announcement will be made. I’ll update as any other news becomes available. Keep your fingers crossed. Don’t forget we can just as easily see an iMac or Mac Mini update instead.
UPDATE: AppleInsider is reporting to have confirmed new model numbers and prices through Apple and its Best Buy channel.
UPDATE 2: While not official, this could crush the dreams of many:

I’m just going to leave it at that for now.
That makes no sense the MacBook’s received an update at the end of last year. How strange. I’m not planning to update my MacBook Pro until later this year, but I know a few people that have been waiting because they felt an update was imminent. Hopefully we’ll see something soon.
