New Macbook Pro 13 specs?

[drewisanapple]

1. It's a gross picture, if you look at it there seems to be hair everywhere.
2. It's on a random sheet of paper, don't you think he'd have like a sheet with two on it, to show mass productions of the labels.
3. If this person just printed it out, his/her specs could come off of what they believe.

There's to much evidence to suggest this is invalid. So To looking for next week.

THEY DO. MY 2009 MBP has OPTICAL (DIGITAL) OUTPUT.

wow. *Facepalm* I am actually at a loss for words.

MY 2011 DOESN'T. i can shout too...

Do you REALLY want to continue blabbing nonsense?

Yeah, it does. It's in the audio out/headphone jack. You just need the correct TOSLINK adapter.

Wait...

It may not seem a radical update, but let's be honest and reasonable. Apart from those who have 3+ year-old machines, we need to ask ourselves if such an upgrade to you would be really worthy. Besides that, for those of you who have 2 or less year MacBooks, what will this new machine/configuration will enable you to do which you weren't able to do so far?

http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/how_apple_does_controlled_leaks/

This is an interesting article written by John Martellaro, ex-Senior Marketing Manager at Apple.

He says that Apple sometimes do controlled leaks of bad rumors to keep expectation low and surprise everybody.

He mentions the controlled leak of the rumored 1000$ price tag of the original iPad (leaked by The Wall Street Journal) which was apparently made by Apple right before the iPad announcement so that people would be surprised by the 500$ price tag the day of the conference.

It doesn't mean that it's another case of controlled leak here, but there's still a possibility that Apple showed us the specs of the base model on purpose so that we make false assumptions about higher end models like the 15".

 

[macmaverickk]

Even though this would make sense for an "Entry level" MacBook like everyone is suggesting, it DOES seem fake. Comparing to my late 2011 13" MBP label:

1) The word "processor" was dropped after "Intel Core i5"
2) The Intel graphics are NOT specified here, whereas on mine, they put "Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory"

I think everyone should just stop $h1tt1ng their pants over this... It's Apple. Regardless of that they release next week, you damn well know you're going to upgrade to it.

This is blasphemous.

If this is real I'll be buying an Asus.

Good for you.

Go post it on the Asus forums then.

Will do! Thanks for reminding me! Hehehe

No but seriously, those specs look ****....
But I'm not really getting worked up about it since the specs suck so bad that it cannot possibly be the real specs.

 

[AnonMac50]

It's also possible that this is a lower end model. Maybe they'll introduce a better 13" MBP (like when they brought out the Aluminium MB in 2008). Even if no retina display, at least 1440x900 is needed.

 

[Frozzie]

This is why I'm glad you don't work for Apple.

No thanks I am not going to work for a company whose best times are coming to an end, simply because of iPhone and iPod and nothing to do with Macs.

2) The Intel graphics are NOT specified here, whereas on mine, they put "Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory"[/B]

Sure they are. Bullet #5 specifically calls out Intel HD 4000 as the graphics engine.

 

[pragmatous]

Have fun trying to get any kind of support for your asus device. Asus has THE worst support. You couldn't pay me to buy an asus laptop.

I do agree with you here.

But before their best times completely end, can't they please come out with just 1 great, major update? I'm still using my 15" PowerBook G4. I've been holding out for 7 years!!...

Yeah, But the SPECIFICATIONS of the graphics processor are missing... that's what I was trying to get at...

Well if it breaks then by that time Apple will hopefully have come out with something worthy of buying

I don't mean to be rude/naive, but surely *any* new model will be a 'major update' to a 7 year old G4?

Honestly don't mean that to be offensive, just don't quite get where you are coming from unless you're not being serious?

Idk if anyone saw this on cult of mac but Japan Display has developed a 2.3" screen that has the same resolution as the 13" MBP lol

This is the article they linked as their source:

http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20120605/221479/

1280x800 on a 2.3" screen = 651 PPI

Kinda makes me feel like 1280x800 on a 13" screen is a little outdated

You fail to realize that the Mac still strives as a digital hub for homes, and is used in many peoples lives. Apple gains grounds in it every year.

DAMN! You have had that computer almost as long as most marriages last... Congrats!

But anyway, ANY current MBP model WILL be a major update (in your case)

 

[cppguy]

It is possible that the retina display will be an optional extra. It's hard to believe that the cheapest base model will have it included.

Maybe you should upgrade as well? Hahaha
