According to German website MacGadget.de, we could actually already expect the supposed MacBook Pro upgrades as early as this week. There's a lot of updates, but one of the more anticipated is the Core 2 Duo chips that will be running at speeds of up to 2.33GHz dual-core.

Other things Apple watchers might want to look forward to would be twice the size of the main memory, larger drives, FireWire 800, and faster DVD-burners (with Dual Layer support). What's the catch? Well, aside from the release date being a rumor, there isn't any catch. In fact, there won't even be a change in price.

Here's to hoping that Apple rolls out these new babies soon. And let's all pray that they also do something about the hardware discoloration that's quite common these days. But maybe, that's asking too much. We'd rather have a Core 2 Duo than a non-peeling notebook anytime (like this week, perhaps).
