Rumor: Best Buy sticks Core i7 logo on MacBook Pro page

well the way I see the upgrading to i7 processors is a great idea

but as I tell my customers...the macs don't really need it...because the PC's that are running the "i" processors need the jump in power to make them close to the power of the macs

because running antivirus software all the time like you have to on a PC makes it run the speed you already get from a Mac because it doesn’t have that constant CPU hog of AV software...just the way I see it

may be wrong...it isn't the first time and won't be the last...lol

Return of the Tuesday launch me thinks

I just checked at 10:35 PST, 3/7/10, the MBP on Best Buy still has the Core i7 badge. It is on the one price at $1,699.99. But of course the description still says Intel® Core™2 Duo processor.

Apple® - MacBook® Pro with 15.4" Display - Aluminum
Model: MC118LL/A | SKU: 9375142 - $1,699.99

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+MacBook%26%23174%3B+Pro+with+15.4%22+Display+-+Aluminum/9375142.p?id=1218093608316&skuId=9375142

Definitely something is brewing in the interworkings. Perhaps some of those random sku's in the best buy system are now labeled?

Its a false alarm most windows pc even with cellerons are showing intel core i7. They mixed up the intel core 2 duo with the i7. I even checked.

Let Me say this again False Alarm

Its a mistake even windows pc have the intel i7 logo with intel core duos and cellerons its a mistake. False Alarm everyone

I Think The MacBook Pro will be updated this week for sure...It's an error, but it means that they are imminent this week!!

Charli, MBP's run at about a 200 day refresh cycle and it's been 272 days since the last update. So odds are for a sooner rather than later drop-date.

This is a really useful link:

Now all the macbook pros are showing the l7 tag

macrumors just posted credible imorposting about the upcming MacBook prothat will be release NEXT WEEK!!!! I'm sooooo excited !!!!!!!

I suspect they're holding the MBP's back so as not to take the shine off the iPad. That would kinda make the MBP drop date April 6 at the earliest - but I hope not.

The i7 has a low-powered Intel integrated GPU but in the MBP will be running an automatic switch to an NVidia GPU when performance is needed or mains power is available. This should boost the battery life in addition to the i7 CPU improvements.
