New clues that may point to Macbook pros refresh

[kopite19]

If they just update the internals of the 13" and bump the resolution to the same higher res the MBA has then I'll put cash down for one on day 1.

+1

hopefully it's soon too. using the onscreen keyboard for the bottom row of my keys is starting to get pretty tedious!

What the hell - as long as we are making stuff up to suit our own needs, I'm voting for 2/15. It's a Tuesday and it's the day after Valentine's Day. It's also my sister's birthday.

It's perfect.

I would really love to celebrate your sisters bday with a new MBP. HAPPY BDAY!

3G just became available in my area, a nice new juicy MacBook Pro refresh "clue" would be just dandy today!

Just sayin'.

I hope that is the case. I am set to buy a new MBP and if they were to uglify the MBP to look like the MBA then I was going to have to look elsewhere. I hate the chassis design of the MBA. If they just update the internals of the 13" and bump the resolution to the same higher res the MBA has then I'll put cash down for one on day 1.

Speak for yourself! 11.6 owner here I'm loving the design evolution of the MBA

Yuck!

I like symmetry and I just can't get behind the angles of the MBA.

I feel the same way. The new air looks like a really thin binder which is fugly. The pro unibody is beautiful and I hope for slight cosmetic alterations but it it looks like an air I'll be ordering something else and will never look back. If someone gave me an air for free I'd throw it right back in their face.

Apple.ca still shows stock for all unfortunately.

 

[Dreyesbo]

So, how does the announcement usually works? Do the media get an invite to a conference a Monday, citing them for the next day? Because then we'll know for sure which week is the right one...

I doubt that I used to say the same, though - but that was only because I couldn't afford one.

Maybe the next air redesign will bring it closer to the ipad, a thin and straight design. or should i say the iphone 4?

no hes probably a broke kid who hates on what he doesn't have

Sloppy analysis. It misses a couple of key points.


3) Cost. 256GB SSD run in the $600 dollar range. Making SSDs standard is going to erode the cost that apple has driven down over the past few years on MBP to appeal to more consumers. New pricing would have to make sense and not drive off consumers.

You can get 256 GB SSD in the Air today for an ok upgrade price. I wouldn't rule it out that they have 512GB on the MBP for a reasonable upgrade price.

According to Intel, the memory controller only supports up to 8GB

that is pretty annoying actually. 4gb of ram was a luxury a couple years ago. Its the minimum now. 8gb will surely be the minimum in a 2 years or less.
For my purposes 8gb IS the minimum.
I was hoping for 16 or 32gb ramspace. All the OS that matter can support that much ram. It would also be nice if the memory controller allowed more than 2 channels, but thats really dreaming.

Actually no I make more than you would believe. Point is the air is ugly.
