Looks to be a sneak peak of OS X 10.7, most likely named Lion.

God damn if they refresh the MacBook Pro line up as I finally psyched myself up on Sunday and bought one. I'm guessing it'll most likely be the MacBook Air

I'm hoping for a new MacBook Air so I can get rid of my giant, clunky MBP.

They made the MBA obsolete with the MBP 13" which costs less and is more powerful so one would assume a new MBA is coming

Doubt the Pro will be refreshed. That'll be next year after the 'Free eyePod touch with Macbook' promotion, to clear stock.

(Geekzone blocks "free eyepod" (with an i obviously)

I wouldn't mind an i3/i5 MBP 13" but I doubt it given the constraints with chipsets etc

Giant and clunky? Really? I'd like a MBP so I can get rid of my giant, clunky Alienware M3200 :P

An i3 13" MacBook pro would be nice but I hope the rumor that apple have been buying 11" screens means the new air will be a netbook style or even a MacBook mini would be nice.

I've been looking at getting a netbook and runing osx86 on it but an official one would be nice. Maybe with anodized bodys like the iPods.

raab, almost every Apple idevice / Mac gets refreshed every year. That is the typical lifespan and how Apple seem to make you want to buy the newer, faster, better device even though the current one you already own does the job.

Better not upgrade the 13", got one when they came out and they haven't been long enough yet. I think the MBP will get an entire redesign first, though it still looks great

I guess we have different ideas of giant and clunky. To me, the current line of MBP's are far too thick. I don't need a CD drive and ethernet ports etc., so I'd gladly trade those things for a smaller unit.
