How often are the macbook pro's released? I want one, but no point getting the current one as it's been in the market for a few years already....

Rumour is there will be a processor bump just before Christmas, so any time soon. There wont be much more than that though. An all new Pro is due next year, probably around March like Russ said. Other people are saying that it might be later in the year because they will wait for the new Intel Ivy Bridge stuff which also makes sense.
But as with all things Apple, you never know what they'll actually do.

No way will they bump the processors within the year of release. Nothing will be happening till next year when they do the next jump up to Ivy and maybe a case revamp as its been the same for a while now

Can't get an Air, won't run half of what I'm needing.
Was hoping they'll be out for January (Time off / sales) but March is fine.
Will.. Thought pro's are silver not white

Been setting mine up this afternoon, I'm going to be converted to higher levels on fanboi now. Really can't recommend them highly enough, if it suits your usage requirements.

we bought one last week, top i7 spec, full of ram, biggest hard drive.
Its a fantastic laptop, and if you have an iphone/ipad, then they're a perfect companion to the icloud.

I quite like OS X, dunno what Lion is like though (only ever used Tiger and Leopard).
Might treat myself to a MBP or Air when my laptop starts breaking. It's been a year though and it's still working which is rare for me - must be the superior Samsung build quality!

Bought my first Mac when the new AIR came out and very impressed with it.
The current air is very impressive, specially against the MacbookPro. You have to go right up the range to get much faster.
The screen res in the 13" air is better than the MBP13/15 IMO. Only the 17 with the full HD screen gives you more pixels
