The rumours are so convoluted, confused and contradictory that it's difficult to know what to believe any more.
I don't know if it's just a bunch of analysts and websites looking for web traffic and publicity or Apple doing this on purpose.
How is that hard to comprehend? Apple already had 3 lines of MacBook before. There were MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro (and I picked MacBook, which is what I'm still using right now).
One fact we know about.
There's going to be about 5,000 people on this website posting really stupid stuff they know nothing about and in the end they will say FAIL !!!
Some or all of the leaks could be false trails designed to identify where the leaks are coming from. It would also cast doubt on the real leaks.
Tim Cook has. And Jony Ive. And Phil Schiller. But they aren't saying anything until later today.
What stops you from doing scientific computing on the iMac? It was mostly Apple who created the OpenCL specification anyway.
And the reason why GPU options are limited are very simple: for many machines, the GPU cards are either soldered on-board (laptop) or are custom-made parts with custom firmware. Moreover, its Apple who writes most of the driver. Each option would increase the cost of the total package. Its not comparable to the PC world, where anyone can build a GPU and write a driver for it.
This were three different line. New line in existing line is just hard to believe.
Retina if eventually would come, can be just a bto upgrade.
Thats why and I dont believe in this "3rd macbook line". If I can calculate, dont see the retina coming at all. It will be a normal pretty much minor update, in terms of cpu, gpu, and some additional parts.
Sorry folks for being party breaker
I remember when 9to5 I think, leaked the advert for the new 3rd gen fatboy iPod nano, we all knew it was real as Apple issued a cease order to have the story removed. Those were the day's...
I for one hope they don't do a redesign of the MP. Now I do hope they at least give us 2012 processors and the like.
Hi,
That 8GB/256GB on the 11" sounds great. I would prefer the 1.7GHz i5 over the 2.0GHz i7, though, as I was reading the i7 got a bit hot sometimes, which is something I really want to avoid on laptops. Laptops starting hot give up after a few years.
Peter.
I'd love to have the E3-1290V2 as a BTO option to maximize single-threaded performance. (Show me an iMac with an Ivy Bridge processor turbo-clocked at 4.1 GHz that also has an easily replaceable graphics card and extra internal bays.)
But yeah, seems unlikely that Apple would add Socket H2 boards to their lineup.
predictable specs for the Airs, Ivy Bridge ULV processors, actual SSD and new so-dimm (last year was 4GB max, now 8GB).
