I wonder if these are just spec improvements or whether the physical design will be changed in any way. I guess the former. I got one of the first "unibody" macbook pros (15")back in 2008 and couldn't be happier with it, but if they release something new I could be tempted by a 13"...

why do they need to take the site down to update it - seems a bit old fashioned or is it part of the hype machine

The specs aren't that different... more RAM on the 'base' models and slightly quicker processors.
More of a refresh. I certainly won't be upgrading from my 2.26 13".

[neil_bolton]

Forgive me for being a teeny bit dim. Is there a price rise?

There's only a hard drive increase from what I can see on the Mac Book Pro, and a 2Gb increase on RAM for the basic 13"...

I was really hoping they would put the new i5 CPUs on the 13", seems its just the 15"/ 17".... not sure I'll bother upgrading now.

Yeah there is, looks like the 13" starts at £999 now

Where you looking?

Oh there... doh.

GFX card has changed too I think.

Aha. That makes me feel a bit better. £1250 as opposed to the £1150 I paid last week. However, still slight galling to think all I have over the £999 model is the faster processor and a not as good GFX card.

Bah.

Battery on the 13" is up from 7-hours to 10-hours, thats seriousley impressive given it still weighs the same.
