“In addition, Best Buy, a top Apple reseller, has already placed “dummy” SKUs for new MacBook Pro models in their system with a March release date,” Gurman reports. “Although Best Buy is not always right about release dates, that dummy SKUs do represent a refresh for Apple’s line of pro notebooks is near.

Oh, boy, Oh, boy, Oh, boy!! And I’m in the market for a new notebook, too.
First!
Just checked the store, says it ships in 24 hours. Non story at this point
I have a feeling Apple are about to send out invites for a surprise announcement. They’ll also probably update the MBP to a new slimline model at this event.
If the MacBook Pros are SSD’s, then there may be a special invite. But I doubt it.
Keep breathing people.
Imminent.
No optical drives. Flash storage. Super-high resolution displays.
Oh man! Imagine if the new refresh MBP has flash memory like the new AIRs. USB 3.0, sandy bridge CPU. 13, 15, 17 inch retina display is too much to ask tho. It would dominate any desktop/laptop sales if manufactured.
@Jason they said certain MBP models
transition to A4
please

There is potentially quite a lot to announce in the coming days:
1. Next OSX update.
2. Next IOS update.
3. Data Center uses and timing.
4. iPad 2.
5. MBP updates.
6. MobileMe changes.
7. ATV 2 software update.
Maybe, just maybe an event to tie Data Center to software updates, MobileMe changes, new iPad and new notebook hardware.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
There has been a HALT to the HALT of reservations on certain MacBook Pro models due to an error encountered in the Sandy Bridge chip set destined for the refresh of these particular models. Therefore, resume your normal consumptive behaviors while we correct this temporary setback in our presentation to you of the very latest in insane greatness to which you are accustomed.
Ever rumoredly yours,
