MacBook Pro Specs Leaked? SSD, Better Battery, New Technology?

That's a pretty lousy res on the 13".

Sony Vaio Z can manage 1920x1080 on their 13inch model.

Not trying to to flame, just thought screen tech was one of Apples prides.

Apple has better screen quality, not necessarily higher resolution. Perhaps they don't think that 1920x1080 is usable on that size of a screen – not without resolution independence, for example.

Core i3? Yuck.

+1


i3 in a 13" is crap, looks like an alienware with Ubuntu for me

Is it Thursday yet? I'm hoping to pick mine up Thursday night or Friday afternoon.

HD on all models can't correct. Many people my age would have trouble with eye strain. I can't look at a 17" NMBP without getting a headache. I know many with welcome this but there is also a percentage of the market that wouldn't so I don't think that will be true. I had to sell my 27" iMac because it just hurt my eyes

No more white MacBook?

Does that mean entry level Aluminum MacBook will now be $1099?

Maybe they'll denounce the 13" MacBook Pro back to being just a MacBook?

 

[TheUndertow]

MOAR info please...

How is the Intel Graphics card (discrete?) supposed to be?

Planning on a 15 or 17" if they do it right.

Up to 8GB on the 17"?

 

[xdbuix]

how much u guys think itll cost to upgrade the 15" from the opitical drive to ssd

 

[tkhan456]

Another reason I doubt this is correct is that the white macbooks are still shipping just fine. There is no delay in them as you would expect if there were dwindling supplies from lack of production now.

 

[AvengedX7]

Do you guys think this is enough of a change to return my current 13" (i'm still under return policy) and get the new one?

Please give me some opinions

 

[Lampwig]

Yup.... These are going to be Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Macbook Pros... Wonder what new keyboard buttons are going to be new for these?

 

[zenio]

Who will present it?

After about 130 DPI, the usability of the screen for anything other than watching videos is questionable. That 13" Sony has a DPI of 169.

so whats the point of the retina on the iphone and the wishes of a retina in the ipad?

Yes... Go for the new one... Just back it up on an external hardrive, and return it, then you can have the new one

 

[mashsensor]

I really hope the higher end 13 has an i5. Ohh well... 2 more days...

 

[ThisIsNotMe]

Wake me up when Apple gets on board with the future and integrates Blu-Ray.

An HD screen with crappy worthless streaming media. Sweet!!!

 

[mac jones]

maxed out 17 for me. With two SSDs, 8GB, we are talkin $$$$ here dudes.

No, it says 2 lines of 13"....

Maybe a basic 13" Aluminum Macbook with no FW (Light Peak instead), no SSD, and no optical drive.

$999?

i3 is very disappointing i guess its 15 inch for me unless they offer a i5 upgrade

I have a 17" with that rez and it is really too small for it to be viable. While it may be possible to have that kind of rez on a 13" screen, why would you want it.

 

[richardsim7]

- Better battery life : 12 hours on the 13", 10 hours on the 15"

Hmm, you'd think that would be the other way round (given that the 15" is larger therefore would have a larger battery)

 

[xdbuix]

theres mroe pricing information if you translate the page.

such as upgrading ur harddrive and ssd pricing and etc.

It is.

Be nice to have an i5 in the 13. They are great chips.

 

[Alexandberg]

Nice specs... But where are the pictures?!

Do it man! You won't regret it. I love my macbook pro and will upgrade it in due time. But if I had the chance to return it tomorrow and pick up a shiny new model I would do it in a heartbeat.

The way iOS handles DPI is COMPLETELY different from the way Mac OS X handles it. If you look at an iPhone 3GS and then an iPhone 4 the amount you see on each screen will be the same. The image however will be much sharper on the iPhone 4 because the resolution is quadrupled with everything being drawn the same way it was before. Same would go for the iPad.
