2012 is rumored to be a major makeover year for the portable at Apple; I'd need to search for references, but I recall Tim (maybe not Tim, but I know not Steve) saying something about the MacBook Air being a sort of prototype for the next MacBook Pro line -- in other words, the two lines were going to meld together and there were already a few designs "skunkworking" around Apple, and that the 2012 release (the last major update (with Thunderbolt added) was in Q1 2011) would represent a paradigm shift in the line.
Yeah - all the rumor mills were proposing a form factor change basically using the same current logic board but with updated CPUs.
I want an SSD/HD MBP with i7. I can buy one now and replace the optical drive, but I'd prefer one where the OS seamlessly goes between the SSD and HD storage.
