Money is already banked specifically for a 2012 Macbook Pro purchase.
My hopes were for a completely redesigned 17" MBP, as I have come to
really appreciate the real estate, but I would gladly move down to a 15"
if it were ultra-thin and just as powerful.
My goal is to have a powerhouse Macbook for video encoding purposes.
If Apple can bring its AIR specs up to that of the MBP (which many claim
they have in most respects) then I am sold.
Not particularly happy the optical drive is going to the wayside, but then
again, I don't use it that often other than to install software. I can simply
transfer any software files I have to an external or thumb drive an upload
them that way, I suppose.
Very happy I waited out on a purchase.. Looks like 2012 is going to be
a banner year for Macbook fans.
