Quad (or I5) Macbooks...when?

[yanquis1972]

i'm hoping to get a macbook pro w/in the next year or so, & definitely want to wait for the next-gen. i was wondering if any of the apple mavens here knew when that might be? it seems we've had dual-core laptops for 3-4 years now, i figure quad must be around the corner & it'd be foolish to get a high-end laptop before the next iteration.

as far as i know there havent been any quad core processors for laptops yet, there probably still trying to develop them but i havent heard of any success

true, but i guess more specifically what i am asking is, when does mac typically unveil new models? is it over the summer? it seems like 1x a year they roll out a new line of products, so obv the best point to buy would be when that happens. if it's 2x years before a quad macbook, i would probably just buy the current or next model.
