There is no doubt in my mind they will go SSD but what processor will apple use? Will the MacBook pro 2012 be better than the 2011 MacBook air in terms of power and storage?
@2013Sergio That's What I was thinking! If you think about it, MacBook Pro. It is (essentially) for Pro customers like Developers, people in the Music and Video business that NEED the optical drive to burn there finalized product. I can see removing the OD from the consumer line but I don't think it will go over too well for Apple pro customers.
@intelcore2duo43 coud not have said it better myself. plus, people buy the Pro version because they need all of those ports. Also, if it's thinner it will overheat A LOT more (like if it doesn't already) because there will be no room for fans.
Honestly I hope that all people that it's not 2012 and apple has already updated the MBP's for 2011 so it proably wont be until January but yes this is going to be a awesome computer but I agree with some people I don't think it's time to completely drop the optical drive
I'm waiting a whole more 7 months just to get the new design of MBP... I dont want one now or the resale value will be dropped a lot in the future. I'm stuck with my crappy thing for a while :/
i think it would be a bad move for apple to start taking optical drives from their mbp line. yes, more and more software are making a transition from disk to an app store, but i don't think we are at the point where it's time to drop the optical drive. if anything it might be just a 15 inch macbook air which i hope means a price drop on their airs. highly doubt that though.
Get opt trial drive out they make it fat

I would buy it. But I am happy with my optical drive MacBook Pro. I'm already eliminating the CDs and DVDs from my house!

In my opinion if the MacBook Pro goes for the ulta thin look, it ruin the MacBook Pro line. Again it's just my opinion

im hoping that apple makes the 15" with replaceable battery and ram.
buying the baseline model and then banging your head on the wall because you have to re-start every day due to memory buildup; it's not fun..

Umm the only way they can be released this year is they have to be apart of the MacBook air line
