There are now rumors of a MacBook Pro update, but what do you think the chances are of a update to the normal MacBook?

Naw, they'll see a speed bump before June (when the iPod deal for students starts).
I think early May is a good bet based on previous years. I doubt we'll see anything new (probably a minor speed bump and an HD/RAM boost). Last May was similar as well (the C2D macbooks got a speed bump and the base model got more RAM).
im rather passive user of this forum, namely i do read more and post less but there has been 50 threads or so on this within the last week 
ok.. im hoping that they do not make a new macbook uintill another few months like 4 or 5!
im getting a macbook soon so it will just suck if i get the macbook and tehn a few days/weeks/months later they take out a new one!
but...did they not already bearly take out a new mac...mac book air./...

I hope they use the LED backlights in the next update. Are there online comparisons between the lifetimes of LED and CCFLs?
Oh darn, hindsight is always the best.
You know what they say, hindsight vision is always in 20/20.
Nonetheless, I am shocked with today's update. The macbook traditionally would have been updated in 2 or 3 months. There was really no reason to bring to "par" with the macbook pro.
