Google translate of the macgeneration (13" part):

MacBook Pro 13 "finally abandon the Intel Core 2 Duo Core i3 to move to. They would provide 16 GB of SSD (for system) and a 320 GB hard drive and 4 GB of RAM. Optionally, you could choose a 500 GB hard drive ($ 90, we do not have prices in euros), or 256 GB SSD ($ 280). His screen would have the same definition as that of the MacBook Air 13 " or 1.440x900 pixels, and it would gain an additional USB port (or 3 ports). Finally, although it would reach 12 hours of battery life, the new MacBook Pro 13 "would lose 200 grams and would weigh only 1.8 kg. Another source we had submitted a tariff of € 1,199 for the first model and 1,499 € for the second.

I read somewhere that upgrade prices for SSD would drop with this refresh and I like it! :D

That sounds very wrong to me.

The only thing that seems wrong is the resolution. Seems funny that they would increase the air resolution but not the MacBook.

The thunderbolt icon looks very real. Another blue circle!

About time the webcam got an upgrade.
 
i'm sorry , that thunderbolt logo looks so not-APPLish
even the name looks weird ..

anyways .. we'll look towards tomorrow ... if the specs are indeed as told by the french , then all the rumors are pretty overhyped

Is there really a dramatic difference between i3 and i5? *n00b alert n00b alert*

Forgive me for my ignorance but I'll be getting an MBP in March/April and all the talk about the i3 not being good enough has got me wondering.

Take everything written in these forums with a grain of salt...
Why would apple release a new MBP with a CPU that is not good enough?
I think the i3 will be perfect for you, me and most other regular users.

If you won't buy it day 1, just wait for the reviews and benchmarks that will pop up. They should settle your worries.
 
Size and weight

Height:
0.95 inch (2.41 cm)
Width:
12.78 inches (32.5 cm)
Depth:
8.94 inches (22.7 cm)
Weight:
4.5 pounds (2.04 kg)

Exactly the same as the current model, looks like no redesign after all
 
Apple obviously think the intel graphics are as good or better than the 320m when paired with the i5 CPU. Time will tell I guess, but at least you can see where the 12hr battery is coming from now.

The weight makes me wonder if it is bogus.
Would they weigh the exact same (less than 0.01 kg weight difference) even with those changes (C2D + 320m vs i5, new port, etc) ?

Bogus i say! Bogus!
Maybe if I repeat it enogh it will be true? :rolleyes:

well thats interesting thing to point out ..
but currently the only changes are
- added lightpeak port
- change of CPU
- removal of discrete graphics

the internal weight won't differ that much with these small parts change

Benchmarks show the Intel HD 3000 performs on the same level as the 320M, sometimes slower, sometimes faster, depends on the application. Well should be enough for the 13", i wont be buying one then though.
 
Battery is the killer feature

At least for me. Light, powerful enough to work with and a long battery.

I don't play many games, so don't care about the graphics. A good chip, memory, SSD and long battery, and i'll be buying my first MBP. :)

I know... ;)
And besides, the 2,04 kg part is probably just a recalculation of 4,5 pounds not the actual weight.

1024x768 on lowest settings for most of the games, they are barely playable. Imagine at the MBP 13's resolution especially if it gets a bump. I really don't remember the 320m being that bad. Even so, if it gets similar results, the 320m is ranked 130th on http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html

With more and more games coming to Mac, plus the Mac App store or whatever, this isn't looking good if it's true.
