My Macbook Pro Wishlist

What you're looking at is the Macbook Pro. Isn't it a beaut? Yeah, you can look at it longer if you wish before continuing.

Ok, so I've been waiting for an update to this since December '06. Nothing came in January at MacWorld '07. Nothing came at NAB '07 last Sunday. Now, all my hope is for an announcement before the end of the month and a release in May. Wishful thinking I know. I think most of you guys must be wondering why I am so desperate for a new mac when I own a 1.5 year old Powerbook. I will explain it in a future post, so thats that. But on to my wishful thinking. Lets see what the current Macbook Pros offer. For the sake of keeping things simple, I'll just concentrate on the 15" models and what is relevant to me.

Current Generation 15.4" Macbook Pros
2.16 GHz or 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB or 2GB DDR2 SDRAM (max 3GB)
120GB HD (max 200GB 4500rpm)
128MB or 256MB ATI Radeon X1600
6x Superdrive
15.4" LCD panel

My Santa Rosa Macbook Pro Wishlist
2.33GHz or 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2Gb or 3GB DDR2 SDRAM (max 4GB)
160GB HD (max 200GB 5400rpm)
Newer generation graphics card - Don't know which one is that, as long as its new
Blue-Ray Drive? (Thats really wishful thinking)
Rumored 15.4" LED LCD Panels
User Removable Hardisk Slots ala Macbook
CASE REDESIGN?! (really hoping for this)

Last but not least - May release! This is not that demanding as Fujitsu has already announced their Santa Rosa laptops for May. Gah! Apple can't delay this like they did with this gen's MBP.

There you go. Simple, reasonable expectations from a big fan. Apple please don't let me down
