I'm sorry, but that's absolutely meaningless.
PC manufacturers have card slots, Blu-ray, and 16:9 screens, too.
This doesn't mean a thing.

yes but eSata port is great when you edit video because Express CArd adpater is useless.Apple wants to be the best.Apple is number one in video post production.My opinion when Acer has eSata in their laptops Apple will too.And BD?No it is not so important when you edit video.

^haha! why would Apple post the new design before the event? im sorry i shouldnt laugh. that is the current MacBook Pro.
Unfortunately, we're actually in the minority and by far. The majority will use it for YouTube/Facebook/Flicker/MySpace etc and fool around w/ iLife, maybe do some word processing and always turn heads at the coffee bar. The minority will go beyond iLife and use Final Cut/Logic/Photoshop.
It used to be Macs were a specialized machine that catered to artists primarily. That all changed w/ the iPod and now they're fullblown into the consumer market as their share goes up & up every year. The big money is w/ the casual consumer w/ more money than common sense when it comes to a computer purchase. Eventually the artists will be less & less of a priority for Apple. They're already worried about the low end consumer market and they've NEVER worried about that before so I think thats an indication as to how things are going in the future.
i'll reckon it might have a adaptor of sorts, just wait till the 14 until you make a decision, for all we know these pics could be old prototypes, just wait
all youve seen is the is a piece of aluminium! haha you havent even heard about the specs yet. jeebus you just cant please some people.
Ok, I have a quick question, kind of a dumb one....
What is the port that is needed to hook up a macbook/macbook pro to a cinema display? This will probably be my first mac but later on I want to be able to have a desktop/laptop combo hopefully with a cinema display. Thanks!

Don't you get it? The smaller on is a the 13" Pro we've been waiting for. Note that there are going to be 11 price points for the notebooks (up from 8). Hmmmm.
OK. After reading what everyone has to say I think that we can conclude that:
The larger case appears to have space for a firewire (probably 800) spot, near the ethernet port We can tell it's not MagSafe - look in the bottom shot, the magsafe is clearly there, as are the other two ports. Also looking a the bottom shot, there are black markings around the mystery display port/usb port next to it. Could this mean anything? The larger laptop also has an odd recess or hole near the front on the left. We can see from the right side view that there is something black where to hole is - but it doesn't appear to actually be a hole.
The smaller laptop does not appear to have a firewire port. Apple may be able to adopt an ethernet/firewire port or incorporate it some other way... Also - if you look at the bottom view, the bottom right (the front corner of the left side of the laptop) there is a metal plate here. I can't find any markings on the outside of the case though?? Also, I don't think that the hole is a IR receiver - we can still see this on the front edge of the smaller laptop's photo.
I personally have next to no idea what will happen come Tuesday morning. I think some of the theories that apple will sell a 13 and 15 inch consumer model alongside the 15/17 inch pros seems strong, but I can't see them using the same styling on the consumer 15" and the pro - this image is definately an evolution of the current pro design...
I also like theories that Apple have been developing a new display adaptor - maybe something that uses USB too?? (see above). This could then go in ALL the laptop models (MB, MBP and MBA). Shame about the ports on the larger model. But then the current 15" Pro has 2 USBs, the 17 gets 3 - so with the extra space, apple may easily be adding another USB to the larger model...
Like I said - I have no idea - and hate to speculate because I am often wrong (I can't help it though!)... I am going to wait till Tuesday (Wednesday, 4am for Sydney, Aus) to find out - I'm excited!!

Full size Dual Link DVI, like you'd get on a desktop or on the current MBP. You can get it on a macbook through a mini dvi- dvi adapter, and the next MBP will probably have a mini dvi.
the Cinema Displays use a DVI connection so you will need a whatever-the-port is to DVI adapter. and to drive a 30" Cinema Display the port will need to be dual-link like the current MacBook Pro's DVI out.
Not stoked about the possible loss of FireWire from the 13"-ers.
That said, it ain't over until the gent in the black turtleneck sings...

What I would love is for apple to introduce something new and cool like the touch tablet.
then I'd be wow'ed.
People already traveling already own either the macbook 13 or the air...so who exactly are we targeting with the pro 13??
Why not a pro 10??
i doubt that apple would do something that stupid to it's consumers. just wait and see what happens
