PCI-e SSD given for next rMBP updates?

[Trey M]

What do you guys think? Seems pretty obvious given they just brought it to Macbook Air and are bringing to new Macbook Pro?

I'm excited to see if Apple integrates an even higher speed PCI-e SSD than they did in the Macbook Air. Performance is supposedly killer.

Yup. Pretty much a given.

It's a given for any new mac introduced at this point - including macbook pro, iMac, and Mac Mini.

I don't think it's a given for the MacBook Pro - if you can still get a spinning hard drive in them, they'll need the SATA bus still.

The question was about the rMBP, they don't need the SATA ports

Right- assuming they keep the classic MBP around, that is.

For retina models, PCI-e is a given.

Yeah don't think there will be a new Macbook Pro...Pretty sure only Retina models will be updated

There are a lot of companies and educational accounts that require a computer have a DVD drive or Ethernet port - so they will probably keep them around for a bit.

for retina yes, it will be standard

If an Air gets it, then I'm sure the Pro will get it the next update too
The Pro is now the one with Retina Display. The old gen Pro will eventually out of the Pro line.

Keep them around yes, update them to Haswell, no.
