Question : Will there be a 13"  Macbook with an iCore processor anytime soon?  Safe to buy C2D?

Hi Everyone,

We usually stick to PC's, but have a need for a 13.3" macbook.  It looks like the 15 and17" models all come with i5 and i7 processors now, but the 13.3 Macbook pro is stuck with a Core 2 Duo.  Anyone have any idea if there will be a i5 or i7 model anytime soon?   Want to verify before we invest in a few of these for our department and then find out there is an iCore version soon after.

Thanks!

Hi,

I've been reading up on this as I am looking at getting a 13" macbook pro and came across an article that said that 13" Macbooks and Macbook Pros don't have the physical space on the logic board for the GPU that would be required:
