Agree, though I think it'll be shipping well before Christmas (though not in July, as some have speculated... if it were gonna be ready in July, they would have announced it).

I expect the new MBP will have the M2, which should be available in quantity soon. Besides the (presumed) hardware improvements, the M2 will be a marketing-friendly way of differentiating the MBP from the MB and MBA, and persuading people to pay a premium for it.
