Dailytech has been asking PC manufacturers (among them Sony, Fujitsu, Acer...) about Penryn-based notebook models, and all indicated to have them ready to roll out as soon as Intel officially announced the availability of its new mobile processor on January 6th.
Apple might also unveil a MacBook Pro powered by a Penryn during the MWSF. we would not be surprise to see the current enclosure evolving, at least for the keyboard to adopt the current MacBook key design. Apple could use the Core 2 Duo Penryn T9500 clocked at 2.6GHz, or the T9300 clocked at 2.5GHz or even lower the T8300 clocked at 2.4GHz but featuring only 3MB of cache instead of 6MB.
For the future iMac, Apple could adopt the Core 2 Extreme Penryn X9000 clocked at 2.8GHz, as its TDP of 45W does not make it suitable for being used in notebook (29W for lower CPU models).
