Apple to update MacBook Pro in the near future?

Loads of rumors are floating around the web speculating whether Apple will update their MacBook Pro line anytime soon. According to a report by macrumors.com Amazon is increased estimated shipping time for several Macs from a few days to 1-2 months, other sources are confirming that Best Buy is also running low on MacBook Pro stock.

A new version of the MacBook Pro will almost certainly incorporate Intel’s Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, perhaps even an introduction of the SSD in the higher priced machines. Furthermore we are hoping the MBP might shed some weight and get a reduced size. While other rumors are stating that Apple might choose to get rid of the Optical Drive, we certainly hope they wont as some of us still use these on a regular basis.
