The 13" MBP won't even be able to support Metro multitasking in Windows 8 at that res, the 11" MBA is ahead of it in that regard.
Got a tip for us?

They are going to do with it what they have with other lines in the past - not upgrade it significantly and then say "we are discontinuing it because it isn't selling".
True. But blame apple for hyping on would be possibilities :0
But other laptops had this for at least 3 years... and with the release of thunderbolt apple seems to be pushing us away from other connectors to go with the one that is the fastest. They even bloated this on their ads.
For $999? Dream on
I think the leak can be quite real.
The reason is that, with all the leaks we usually get when apple is about to launch a product, it's hard to believe that, less than a week out, we still haven't gotten anything with proof. And it's something that supposed to be totally different (different design, display, spec... basically a brand new product with an old name)
When something like this happens, usually it means that the product has no major difference that leakers can actually show us easily (remember iPhone 4s when many were expecting a brand new design? same thing)
My money is that this is real... as disappointing it might be.

It might just be a silent update. Let's see what happens. Perhaps they will make a Retina Display available, but only as an option on certain devices, like the 15" Pro.
This does tend to suggest we won't see a "Retina" Air, though.
WTF is "Turbo Boost?"
I remember in the Pentium 1-2 days you could push a giant button on the front of your PC called "turbo" and change the clock speed from 100 to 133MHz.
Is Apple really using some old PC term from the 90's?
Steve would be pissed.

Maybe this is a real leak meant to mislead us?
Maybe the idea is to temper our expectations, so that they're brought back down to Earth? So when Apple releases a slimmer model with a retina screen but with these internal specs, we're pleasantly surprised about what has been upgraded, rather than annoyed with what hasn't been?

Considerate
How considerate of Apple - saves me some Money, cause i will stick to my MBP 13 early 2011.

Personally I don't care about retina however likely this is real simply because I will guess if retina comes it will be only on units with discrete graphics. That means if it comes it will be on a thinner 13" that dumps the optical drive so they can fit a graphics chip and more battery in it.

I just played with effects in Photoshop in hope of proving this was shopped. Unfortunately, it looks very real and some details like the fact that the label SKU (bottom right) and weight (2.06kg instead of 2.04kg) are slightly different make it look real.
I'd like to be proved this is an elaborate fake, but it's not looking good. Perhaps Apple would release only a redesigned 15" and keep the current 13" for a generation until the 13" MBA finally replaces it, kind of like the white MacBook that they kept alongside the Aluminium MacBook introduced in 2008.
Well if real the DVD is still there for everyone freaking out last week.
Isn't it their best selling one too?
If true, once again we see the PC maker that has openly marketed its mobile devices around a "post PC era" showing that it really is committed to killing the PC, even its own.
Here's to hoping it isn't true. I know you don't care about gaming Apple, but there are still other things to do with a device than going on Facebook and playing Angry Birds.

Its actually Intel's own term. And yeah, it will clock speeds up to that high depending how many cores are used if needed. Which is a great boost jump compare to the Dual core 2 and even the arrandale i5/7s
They been experimenting on those since OSX tiger. Just preparing for the future i guess.. a WAY MORE DISTANT FUTURE.
Here is a direct link to the image, you could decode the barcode if you really wanted to.

Maybe, maybe not? The noise in the photo looks pretty uniform. To my eyes, there's nothing about it that looks really fake.
Here's a challenge - can you take that photo, edit it so that the specs are a bit more impressive, and then post the results?
Can anyone? Surely on a Mac-oriented forum there has to be some Photoshop wizard who could do this?
Well, the question isn't really whether or not this could be faked. Cuz, OBVIOUSLY, this could be faked!! Easily
The question is - could this be real?? Which is a hell of a lot more frightening if it is
