A possible explanation for that tiny 16GB SDD is that it's a LRU-Cache for /Library and /System plus spare 4 (or 8) GB for the hibernate file (depending on your RAM).
Aka you won't be able to place anything on that small SDD yourself.
Got a tip for us?

AppleInsider:
"MacGeneration has a respectable track record with Apple-related product leaks."
I'm not saying all of this is true (though I hope it is). But it certainly lends some credence to these claims.

Likewise. The GPU in the new Macbooks will be the "make or break" point for me.
i just love news articles like this one, where some foreign site regurgitates news from some other news site such as mr, and then mr re-regurgitates it again not knowing that it originated here...
First time I've been REALLY excited about a MBP in a while. My first gen unibody 2.4 15" is getting a little long in the tooth and I think I could still get a decent price for it. I Would LOVE a 15" with hi-res matte screen, i5 and an SSD. I never use my superdrive, good riddance!
From what it sounds like, it wouldn't be. And also I might just wait until the next gen X-25M comes out and get a 300GB one. Prices look to be coming down on those.
True... but its still pretty small.
Sony z
3.04 lbs
12.4" x 8.3" x (1" to 1.3")
Mac 13"
4.5 lbs
12.78" x 8.94" x .95"
If the 13in has better than Intel integrated graphics I am going to have a hard time not upgrading...
Question is if they are going to add a USB port and presumably a light peak port without losing the optical drive where are they going to put it? Maybe they will move the SD card slot over to the CD drive side.
EDIT: If they remove the optical drive and put a dedicated GPU in it's place I would be stoked but considering it still has better battery life than the 15in I kind of question if that would happen.

the intel gpu alone will be worse than the 320m I really hope there is a new discrete gpu in the 13inch
Why limit yourself to just tv, I (college students) can't afford to buy a television after using all my money on a macbook pro. I wouldn't use itunes too because my internet connection is too slow for downloading and its just more convienent to go to best buy and buy the disc.
This...it'd be great if they started throwing in some TRIM support and if the hybrid drive thing is true, some good integration for it.
Unless you have extremely poor sight, I cannot believe it was the pixels that hurt your eyes. More likely LED backlighting. The pixel density isn't that great on the 27" displays. A very small percent have problems with the LED and those people are left out. I would suggest you try antiglare films to help.
I actually just did some research on this with a scientist for a consulting project. The findings show that many more suffer from the led backlights when close to the screen. An HDTV with LED can be great, but for computer users itcan be bad. We found the best results were to use an antiglare film, lower brightness, and sit slightly farther away.
Just wanted to share. Lion might bring resolution independence too.
It's because the c2d was the upper end of CPU's (when it was current). The core i3 is kinda the current budget model, it's offered in £399 laptops. Now performance aside to put the bottom end CPU of a range into a laptop costing over £1000 is a pisstake, even for Apple.
Student discount?
Is there anyone here a university student or possibly a teacher, basically anyone who has some experiences with education discounts? Right now I can save on the current macbook pro probably up to 150 pounds here in UK. So my question is how does it work when the new models are introduced, potentially priced differently. Is it gonna take some time for Apple to settle on new prices when it comes to these discounts or they come hand in hand with new models introduced. I'm just asking because I really need a laptop for my uni and I've been waiting for this release for quite some time now. Basically I want to order one asap, I'm just not sure if I'll be able to do that the same day they're out.

No more white MacBook?
Does that mean entry level Aluminum MacBook will now be $1099?
Isn't it currently??
There is a difference between resolution and dpi. The iPhone 4 has a high dpi. That's what you like, not the resolution.
