Anyone following Macbook Pro news?

[1996 328ti]

I need to update my desktop computer at home.
I figure my current dome iMac is about 7-8 years old now.
It's running slow, can't really update it anymore.

Anyway, I'm thinking about a 15" Macbook Pro.
That way I can have everything I need when I travel.
I'll throw Windows on there so I can use it for work.
Eventually getting an external monitor and keyboard in a few more months for home.

I'm reading that the Macbook Pro may be getting updated soon.
Same thing happened when I got my Bondai Blue? iMac weeks before I bought it. Held off and got more computer for the same price.

Again when I bought my G4 iMac. I read the rumors and held off.
A couple days later, a newer iMac was released.

So. . .
Does anyone follow Mac news?
I'd like to stay slightly ahead of the curve again.

I don't know if you have already checked, but http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ recommends: "Don't Buy - Updates soon."

VMware Fusion on a MacBook works pretty well.

I've been to macrumors, I didn't see the buyers guide.

Thanks!

Wouldn't be surprised if models with the new range of intel chips is due.

I'm guessing Apple is waiting to get the iPad out of the way before making another announcement.

A read all about it.
Thanks!

Need to read up on the difference between Core 2, i5 and i7.
A friend recommended a 13" for travel and an external monitor for home.

I'm leaning towards a 15" but it needs to fit in my travel stuff.

I'm tempted by a 15" with a matte display.

If you're considering an Apple monitor, buy it at the same time as your MacBook to ensure that you have a 3 year warranty, rather than the paltry year it comes with. I always recommend getting the best monitor you can. Monitors can last a long time. If you think you need a 20-inch, get the 24-inch. The Dell UltraSharps are very decent.

Apple replaced my tower with a 17-inch MacBook Pro. I should have asked for the 15-inch, as it is simply too large too carry around comfortably. Furthermore, most times, it sits on my desk closed, as I have it hooked up to a 20-inch monitor.
