And we are proud to tell you that so far our online store has had more orders for the new MacBook Pro than any other pro notebook before.

Could it be that it was 527 days since the previous update which is, by a wide margin, the longest delay between MBP updates ever?

I think it's even more likely due to the fact that 4 out of 5 laptops they sell are labeled "MacBook Pro" - including the MacBook Air replacement.

If Chevy named the majority of their cars Malibu (1/2 ton truck), Malibu (3/4 ton truck), Malibu (2 door sports car), Malibu (4 door electric sedan), Malibu (4 door full-size sedan) then they would have the largest amount of Malibu's sold ever too.

Well spotted. No doubt in some secret Gattaca-esque white room at infinite loop there are a bunch of carefully dressed project executives in damage control mode.
