    Anyone think that the MBP 13-inch model will get a refresh with the Intel Core-i5 chips? I'm eyeing one to replace my potentially dead MBP (2007 Summer Edition). If not, the 15-inch is what I'll go for.

    It offers almost all of the performance of 2009 15" MBP in a smaller, cooler package with better battery life and a lower cost.

    I'd be getting the 13" right now.

    it will be either... after they do a major redesign to fit in and cool a GPU... or if the Intel/nvidia law is settled and nvidia can start making chipsets for the Core i series.

    I ended up choosing the MBP 13 inch. So far in the stuff I'd done with it it's doing marvelously.
