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

[Politis]

If they put a matte option on the 13", I will **** bricks.

Explain your self, will you s or f bricks?
I would much rather have a matte 13

 

[AvengedX7]

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

Thanks for the input. I don't have an external tho. I'll probably just put my music on another computer then use usb to bring it over. Any ideas other than that?

 

[alphaone]

Lame... The one thing I mainly wanted to know, which was the type of GPUs in the new models, wasn't included.

 

[arcite]

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

well... larger screen means its uses more power too.

 

[chugg]

Hopefully they keep the 13" at the same price or go lower. I'm sold on the SSD alone.

 

[miamialley]

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

Take it back. You'll pay less for the old(er) model in a few days or either buy the new model. No brainer.

the third USB port, couldnt that be a light peak port, so that u have 2 USB and 1 lightpeak?


pretty nice otherwise
but i have a i7 15" all ready, no new notebook for me in a while

So $1500 for upgraded 13 then $100 more for matte? Screw that.

No more white MacBook?

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

to remove the white mac book would be really stupid. there is no visual difference anymore, it seems like every mac is now the same boring aluminum and black keys. terrible! where is the individuality?

i hope apple is making a new mac book (entry mac), maybe in 5 colors (white, black, blue, orange, pink!

I'm happy to see two things:
1. Matte screen
2. Consolidation of product lines: no more macbook

Should they just call them all macbooks now? Or will it be macbook pro for all?

The SSD option is too soon. The benefit is minimal compared to the loss of capacity.

It's most likely a custom SSD like in the MacBook Air. The OS would be on it. HDD would be for storage.

 

[gkarris]

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?

Oh, and I forgot, Sandy Bridge video only (the Pro's will have a discrete video chips as well).

I hope not. That sounds like bs.

 

[Salacion]

I'm saying it now. This has been one of the best mac rumors days ever.

To be an Apple user, you gotta pay to play.
IMO matte would probably also include more hd space or some other incentives.

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

I will probably be joining you. The updated dv6 or a Lenovo Y570 are possible as well.

 

[AvengedX7]

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.

I dont have an external tho! Oh well, ive only had it for a week im sure i can get everything back on this one... Do you think i could return it thursday or should i do it before then so theyre not like wtf?

 

[HiRez]

10-12 hours battery? Wow. They are finally making some real progress on this front the last couple years, it's about time. I could get close to 9 hours on my old Pismo, but I had to have both slots filled with batteries (meaning no CD module), and it was heavy (at least 5-6 lbs.).

 

[Mattsasa]

i am more than satisfied,

only regret is the ability to drop ODD in the 13inch and to get discrete graphics instead.

but I will be getting a 17inch anyways

 

[ldellx3]

lighter-liquid metal?

 

[Warbrain]

Good thing I held off.

 

[ten-oak-druid]

If the black metal macbook pros become a reality, that will be pretty cool. But watch for it. Apple will tack on $100 for an alternate color.

 

[bilg]

BTO option to replace ODD with SSD? So will this just be a mess of drives???

1 SSD for OSX
1 HDD for files
1 SSD for apps??

does anybody have any others ideas of how this might look? I just hope Apple can present this mess better than the way it sounds.

They don't for the iPods?

But I'm really hoping the redesign happens. I'm sure I'll like the specs. I'm hoping for the liquid metal.

It would be the best if there were a G5 powerbook rumor in there...
