17" MacBook by June

AppleInsider is reporting that Apple is planning to have a 17″ version of its MacBook Pro ready by the WWDC in June.

The new flagship model, which will based around a 17-inch widescreen display and feature at least a 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor, is expected to round-out Apple’s MacBook Pro product line.

Despite optimism from some of Apple’s current 12-inch PowerBook customers, a 12-inch MacBook Pro model has yet to surface on Apple’s product roadmap, reliable sources have told AppleInsider.

My 17″ Powerbook will be 2 years old this summer, so maybe it is time for an upgrade.
