Details on New Mac Pro and MacBook Pro Specs Surface, Retina Notebook Still Under Wraps [Updated]

[rafaelcordoba]

I bet no retina MacBooks will be released. I'm 90% sure on this. They had technical issues. Wait and see.

 

[IraDeorum]

My body is ready.

Thanks for the sanity check on the Mac Pro, folks. Not sure what's going on there...9to5's source has always been very accurate on specs, but these simply can't be right.

(Still bleary-eyed and didn't check closely enough myself.)

Good lord. I literally have no idea what will be announced. I can't help but horribly think we've over estimated the whole Retina-Mac thing.... as much as I'd love to see it, I can see myself tomorrow thinking "pah, it was not gunna happen anyway"...

 

[omenatarhuri]

My god someone better be wrong about the 5770!

5770... no way. That's already two generations old. Doesn't make sense. BS.

If Apple does do subpar with high prices and no redesign with the Mac Pro then they want people to not buy it. Then they can say next year they are dropping it because nobody buys it. I have seen them do this before with other Macs. It is in their DNA.

Seems like 99% of the time the rumor sites are just regurgitating rubbish to keep the beast moving along......

My favourite is when they quote each other and then use whoever quoted their rumour to show that somebody has "backed-up" their original rumour.

This happened a couple of weeks ago and I just had to sketch it out

I was never really hot for Retina Displays. Too soon, too expensive and - for me - not really necessary on my mac. Prepare to be disappointed.

Excited about the nVidia Graphics though.

Current tests show that the 650M is about 30-40% faster than the 6770M
Skyrim, here comes my new Laptop ...

I can't see the 5770 bit being true.

Do we just get everything from 9to5 these days, only a little later?

No worries. Those just don't make any sense at all.

 

[Rizzm]

Whole lot of BS (hopefully) in these last leaks.

 

[themcfly]

9to5mac is so committed protecting their thinner retina macbook pro rumor they don't even pay attention anymore at what they're writing....

 

[rovex]

Go from an iPad 1/2 to 3 and tell me retina's too soon!

 

[JS77]

The report notes that the thinner "MacBook Pro" models with a Retina display are still expected to be introduced, with an analyst report from a few days ago having specifically claimed that they would be arriving alongside the existing MacBook Pro form factor for the time being

If I'm reading this article right, analysts are expecting a 3rd line of Macbooks which are a cross between a Macbook Pro and Macbook AIR with a Retina Display??

Is that right??

 

[stanny]

Can Macrumors post up the blogging link already? I want to bookmark it before I sleep and that's what I want to read when I wake up, not watch the video.

 

[Mediaformae]

Something fishy about those mac pro specs...

Very... in all of them.
Would anyone call them new or just more of the same?

yes anal-ysts are the ones who expect it (the ones who're always wrong)

It's more likely to be the long-rumoured 15" MBA. A third version of a Macbook does not make much sense.

I was thinking about jumping ship from MBP to MP. Even if the 650M is fast, it is still going to be hot. The current MBP fan already winds up too much when playing and making the machine thinner won't help.

MP + MBA/iPad should be the ultimate setup.

Someone is getting it wrong here. ATI 5770 can't be true, it's a two years old card. I mean what would be the point? I think their so called source or themselves had misunderstood the 5770 and the 7770. If Apple keeps using ATI on the Mac pros, the defaul configurations should have the Radeon 7770 with possible upgrade to the Radeon 7870.

But the 5770, no way on earth!!!!

 

[Moonjumper]

If there is a third Macbook line with Retina, I wonder what the current MBP design will offer that the new one doesn't?

ODD probably, but that doesn't seem enough for a separate line, especially for Apple. There must be something else if the rumours are true.

 

[ezekielrage_99]

So we are going to get a MacPro with 3-years old graphics card and non-existent processors... Crap!

Oh dear God, would Apple consider putting a 3 year old graphics chipset in a Pro machine?

Putting a 5770 in a new Mac Pro is complete FUBAR.

 

[rovex]

There really is little incentive to announce the MBP at WWDC if it didn't come with a little extra flare. Otherwise they would just continue their non publicly announced refreshes as they've done so the last few years as far as the pro goes.

 

[KPOM]

Hopefully 9to5 Mac's rumor about the Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter is true. It would be nice to see Apple start to take charge and make good use of the Thunderbolt port.

Anyway, just a few more hours and we'll all know for sure.

My take on the Mac Pro specs: Somewhere in Apple, the suspected leak who was fed some nonsense specs (just to see if they got out), is being carried to the door.

"Double-down on secrecy", remember. Not that tracking all the rumours isn't fun, of course...
