First it was april, then it was may, now this article says more like back to school...do you think they wait till inventory really runs low on the last models before they release the next model...that way they dont have alot of "extras" sitting around? Would love to get on in the next 4 weeks...just hope they are out. So any more updates on the actual date of the 15″ Pro release?

According to the Magic 8 ball sitting on my desk, there will not be 2 drives in the laptop. I agree with Rudyrudell, it would add unnecessary weight and outside of the Mac Pro that can withstand a thermonuclear detonation, Apple tends to go lighter.

I see a gap between what people are reporting and common sense. For example, for Apple to drop the 17' would be foolish. They even sell 3 versions of the iphone to cast their net wide. Sometimes the insider reports seem like they are created in a tunnel. I appreciate you bringing in practical business sense. I’m with you Hobbits.

Apple is always about making things lighter, removing the optical just to add a second piece of weight, even in something marketed for the "Pro" is just not Apple's style. I do hope they keep the 17", most people who actually use there Macbook Pro's for video/sound work on the go really do not want to have a smaller screen. Regardless though Apple probably knows these people will still buy the 15" Pro if they lose that 17" model rather then switch operating systems. Kind of silly how much this slashgear article has circulated around the net. I do not think that apple would put two hard drives in a laptop.

This was a fake picture posted on reddit that a speculator made in Photoshop. No computer maker in their right mind would put two hard drives in a computer. If anything, Apple would use a SSD similar to the Air, but still, having two hard drives is not going to happen. Wow. This was a fake picture posted on reddit that a speculator made in Photoshop.

Apple keeps its secrets for a reason and if there was consistent flow of information getting to Ming-Chi, Apple would have ended that relationship long ago. Will there be a 17" model: Likely even if sales have been weak. We all know there is a market and Apple doesn't want to lose sales to the competition because of size. There are too many other accessories that Apple relies on to lose a customer over 2". Ivy Bridge will be there because it has been available and to miss it on the first round would be a major mis-step for Apple. Tim Cook is too smart a business man to introduce a new OS and leave the hardware sitting on the shelve. SSD Drive: Likely. Apple made a big investment last year in an Israel company but whether they are ready or not to offer their products at an affordable rate has yet to be seen. Display: No idea, what works well on an iPhone or iPad doesn't always translate to normal systems. That is a big wait-and-see Release Date: Likely at the developer's conference and hit store shelves shortly thereafter. I betting that all sizes will be immediately available as opposed to just rolling out the 15" and adding the others later. To withhold the other two sizes will miss the school season and make it hard to track customer preference. Also, it goes back to losing to the competition if you only have one product to choose from. There you go, Ming-Chi Kuo because I am betting my predictions are just as good as your! I think Ming-Chi Kuo is guessing like everyone else and the media is a fool to believe him.

I think that Apple will cut down the size of the MBPs almost to the air size. Apple thinks the future is in thinness and I agree.
