15' and 17' Pro LEAK w Pictures ! QUAD CORE

Professional image editing is done on a high end, hardware calibrated external monitors, in a room and workstation specially designed to accomodate such screen. 13" laptop screens are good for quick look at what has come out of the camera and here color gamut and accuracy are far more important than slight bump in resolution (100px on the vertical axis...). As for gloss - yes, it's an issue - but if you really want to get rid of the reflections (on both the glossy and matte screens) you buy a shade...
This is EXACTLY why I think the resolution on 13.3" is NOT too low for a PRO machine. When I manipulate render/manipulate three-dimensional structures, it's usually on a machine with 100s of cores, not a MBP ... lol.
Yes, but the standard VT-x instructions for VMware and Parallels are still supported.

It would be nice, if Apple offered a full disk encryption software, which uses the AES-NI.
that would be really nice! if they do offer it i hope its in BOTH the 15" and the 17" (and maybe 13"
).
pretty nice specs… but stock 5400rpm drives again? WTF? at least make them 7200rpm Apple if not doing the OS SSD drive.
also if anyone looked at the CPU clocks and cringed (i did for a second) that is the clocks on Intel's mobile quad core SB CPUs, the Core i5 & i3 have higher clocks, but less powerful.

Found a link:
Quad Core Sandybridge (clocked higher than the leaked pic) has 20% better battery life (mins per watt hour) than a Core 2 Duo 8600, and about the same as Core i5 Dual Core.

Too true. Sandybridge Quad Core sweeps all before it performance wise:

(ps does anyone else feel like a kid at Christmas
?)Just wait until you discover they have downclocked the 6750M.
They have done it before.

everytime* haha.
it will still be fairly decent, i feel.
(ps does anyone else feel like a kid at Christmas
ou yea, can't wait
This next couple "minutes" will be probably most of us refreshing apple site every 5mins
the 17 inch model looses 1 USB Port and ExpressCard slot and gets SD card slot...what about design changes, are they going more Air like? SSD please....
just need to wait and see what BTO options we have.
15" top end
Quad Core i7 2.2ghz
ATI 6750m 1gb
1680x1050 antiglare - $150
8gb RAM - $400
128gb SSD - $200
ou yea, can't wait

ha. i have a script that automatically refreshses every 30 seconds
Yea, but they need to keep the base price down to just $500 more than their PC counterparts.
Actually, if true, the lack of ExpressCard slot on the 17" is much bigger issue than screen resolution on the 13". Maybe (but we don't know yet) Thunderwhatever will be able to host an adapter, but the backward compatibility is compromised.
