New MacBook Pros Tomorrow? [Update]

It looks like we may very well be blessed with new MacBook Pro updates tomorrow. Tomorrow actually is the kick off for MacWorld 2010, and even though Apple has decided not to participate anymore with the expo, it does appear that the company is using MacWorld to it’s advantage. MacWorld originally ran in early January, but was pushed back to February this year due to the continuous competition with CES. Multiple sources do point to tomorrow as the day for a MacBook Pro refresh. And this does coincide with an Apple employee stupidly using GeekBench to benchmark his unreleased MacBook Pro. Doesn’t he know that websites like GeekBench monitor what is being benchmarked? The MacBook Pro tested also used an unreleased build of Mac OS 10.6.2 (Build 10C3067) and Bios MBP61.88Z.004C.B00.1001251657. At any rate, the new MacBook Pros are going to have the new Intel Core i7 processor, supposedly up to 3.33GHz. Ex-Genius will have a follow up post tomorrow on the results!

Update: MacRumors reports that Best Buy has apparently begun preparations for tomorrow’s update on MacBook Pros by deleting the old (now current) models from their system. It appears that the release of new MacBook Pros is imminent, with tomorrow looking more and more like the day to have some extra cash on hand.
