New Macbook Pro 13 specs?

[clibinarius]

Didn't I say Haswell a few weeks ago? I'm not shocked. The tech/manufac simply isn't good enough yet.

My thoughts exactly.

If these leaks coming out in the past few weeks are any indication of a post Steve Jobs Apple, the company is in deep trouble.

Who said they will. It may be a "silent" update, for all we know. WWDC is all about software and development anyway.

Such minor updates are NEVER announced with fanfare at WWDC - they are just Apple Store updates. Happened many times before, it will happen again now.

THESE SPECS ARE REAL. Stop bothering.

Yeah, that's the attitude <rolls eyes>.I've been hearing that since the late 90's. Now there are millions wishing they had bought MORE AAPL.

Good lord, some of these posts. Apple comes out with good spec's on their entry level laptop and you would think from reading here that the world has ended. LOL.

Even under Steve most of the hardware updates were spec bumps worth little fan fare. And it was common for them to not include the latest and greatest tech until it was a good year old, unless it was tech they helped build. So if this is real it's classic Apple, Steve Jobs style.

Very Easy - b/c they want your money! Better for Apple if you rent your movies on iTunes instead of buying them in the shops!

I dont believe Apple will ever support BR, and will get rid of the ODD as soon as possible!

About the screen. IMO it's the sticker which will land on the box of new MBP. The biggest difference from the stickers on MBP's is the code on the bottom. The code is readed by system, and sticker is putted on specific box.

In this case. We won't see any redesign on MBP. But we will se a High DPI display as an option. Possibly in every MBP.

They did a good job...except...the resolution listed is from a few years ago. The current MBP 13 inch is a higher resolution than that listed on this. Good try though.

I agree, but also a complete redesign is standard every 3-4 years. It is fair to assume that the macbook pro lineup will get a redesign soon...

It's such a lacklustre refresh, it makes it more likely to be real.

There is no barcode on this label. Looking at our other MBP boxes, since we all get the fully-upgraded models, the labels don't have barcodes either. it would seem these are stickers that are applied to these models. However, on the Mac Pro labels, the barcode is present.

When Mountain Lion was announced Apple started referring to "Mac OS X" as only "OS X". This was after the 2011 Mac packaging was designed.

It's now 2012 and I don't think Apple would leave the phrase "Mac OS X" on its new packaging after making sort of big ripples by dropping the word "Mac" from OS X. That's why I think this is fake.

Of course it doesn't - did you even bother to check Apple's page on the MBP 13?

Thank you! Finally, people with some understanding. Its as if one "rumored" leak of one of many laptops from Apple and the whole Apple ship is sinking. Give me a break, for the people using the "this wouldnt happen if steve were still around," thats a cover for your lack of Apple knowledge and understanding. No shots intended, but get your head out of the clouds.

[Exio]

This is fake, an almost exact copy of this image came out last year as a supposed "leak." History just repeats itself...

WWDC is a software conference. So yeah. They will focus on software not hardware.

Here is a new leak, just came out

[MJedi]

To all those saying the resolution of the leaked label is from years ago, check the Apple site for the specs of the CURRENT 13-inch MacBook Pro:

http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs-compare.html

Display
13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
1280 by 800 pixels

It has been pretty common with hardware updates at the WWDC keynote, typical even.

Exactly right! The WWDC stands for Worldwide "DEVELOPERS" Conference. Aka, software, just saying to the guy thats disappointed about a lack of "hardware enhancements" being announced Thats rich

WWDC has ALWAYS seen new hardware, with the exception being WWDC 2011, when it was software only.

Why people say it is a software only conference baffles me.

Yes cause I'm sure he controlled the advancement of technology all by himself. Not to mention all of the engineering and R&D hours that go into every single part of each device.

It's people like this guy that have unrealistic expectations based upon leaks and are then disappointed when the unconfirmed information that came out in these leaks doesn't come to fruition.
