Always no portable Core ix

It is now more than two months since Intel announced its new mobile platform and since that time Apple seems to have turned their noses up. Oddly enough, this is not the first time that Apple delays renewing its range of portables. But within our memory, this is the first time that they have taken so much time.
During one moment, and perhaps even still today, we thought that they had decided to await the arrival of the Optimus technology of Nvidia, but unless there are still problems with this technology, the Apple portables should have been released by now.
Some think that Apple is trying to empty its stocks of machines before releasing new models. If this excuse is true, it would mean that Apple did not plan enough in advance the arrived of new products or worse, than the sales slowed down so much these last weeks that it would be bad news even if it could just be an effect of people waiting for the release of new portables (the snake eats it own tail).
One is thus still in total limbo having no reference mark to generate hope for the arrival of new MacBook Pros.  However one always lives in hope for next Tuesday midday…
