They don't have to go Flash drive just yet, but will probably go 1.8" for the laptop to be thin and Flash ready. These 1.8" drives are getting relatively cheap, considering I have just paid €170 for a fast 7200rpm 200GB 2.5" laptop drive.

Been reading this rumor article about MBP's getting solid state drives:

If that's true, isn't that going to be super expensive? According to a wiki page about SSD drives, they are roughly $15 per GB.

MacBook Pro
• Mobile Penryn Chipset
• 2.4GHz and 2.6GHz Speeds
• 17” gets LED backlighting
• 15” gets a build-to-order higher resolution similar to the 17” model
• Keeping the 8600M GT graphics, but upping the video memory to 256MB and 512MB
• Black anodized aluminum option similar to the iPod classic
• On sale at MacWorld, ships FebruaryBlack? hrmm... will have to see what that looks like. No mention of a redesigned case though
- 15 hi-res with new case would make me upgrade! I doubt they 'll up the res. Case? maybe, it's old (2004)rafalski

I wonder if they kill white macbooks now or will give'em some more time.
There's no white iMac, no white iPod. Black+metal+shine is the new white. The new keyboards do have white keys though..

I thought mac books were already pretty slim

I once bought a new macbook month after it was released. That's technically beta-testing you pay full price to take part in. Never again.
(This said I own an iPhone that I only could hack because it's an early version..)

if it's a new macbook, i'd be real tempted. i desperately need to save up for a car though.

Can't wait for this!! I'm gonna be REALLY disappointed if this was just a rumour.

On another note, it's gonna be at about 9am here which is quite nice for once because they normally have it at 6pm or later because it's in the US

Ahh, interesting. Thanks! Should they release it, will they start taking orders right away I wonder ...

Me and Steve are tight, he hooked me up early.
Seriously tho, IF they are coming out you're know sometime after 9am PST on Tuesday.
