This is gonna be the same kind of let down that the iPhone 4s was. All the hype for a big redesign, but it's actually just an incremental upgrade. So lame...

And the MBP launch last year. We all thought there would be a redesign in the exact same way we do now, then it was just a spec update.

I guess if this is real, we may be headed for the same scenario tomorrow. Or the 3rd line theory.

Either way I'm excited to see what the keynote brings tomorrow.

These "day before" leaks tend to be true, so I'm pretty upset right now. I wanted a redesign! Maybe I should consider an iMac and an air instead of a new MBP. :mad:

My air is absolutely fantastic.

I can see the air getting retina displays and the pro not getting them. The Air is basically Apple's innovation laptop.

The air is the best from the iPad brought to Mac. The retina display should certainly be among the things.
 
I could see nothing really changing. Perhaps retina, but nothing else.

I could also see them adding a 15in MBA.

But who knows! We'll find out soon enough :D
 
So many rumors!

I hope this isn't true, I want it to at least be thinner :(

We'll know in a little over 12 hours...

Well thats unexpected but typical Apple. So much for all the hyped up rumours.

How does the GT650M compare to the 6750M/6770M?

Is NOT typical apple! Is NOT!1

Now Jobs gone Apple is conservative. No design remake is fail. Big fat clunky version of notebook to stay is fail. and sad. This news is so bad.

Why would Apple go back to using NVIDIA GPUs instead of sticking with AMD? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the next-gen GPU of either manufacturer?

*Full disclosure, I am currently holding a long position in AMD.

Nvidia bid a lower price
 
Apple has successfully confused the rumor mill to the point that no one really has any clue what is going to happen.

650M??

BOGUS !!

The 680M is like 800% better.

Give us an option for the love !!!!!!!!

As much as I would love a 680M, Apple has never equipped, to my knowledge, any of their notebooks with top of the line graphics cards. In create-to-order gaming notebooks, the 680M is a $400-500 upgrade by itself! Imagine the apple tax on that! Other issues would be power consumption and heat. You'd have to rename it the Meltbook Pro!

this has been discussed in the Pro forums.. i was like you but sadly it generates too much heat and draws too much power.. (not everybody knows this stuff, including me :D)

I have a hard time seeing how a Retina Macbook would fit in the current product line. If it's true, I don't see why someone would purchase a non retina macbook
Click to expand...

simply: cost. a retina screen is going to be a bit more expensive, i see it being BTO for a year or two, and a cinema display getting the treatment later this year. just my 2cents
 
I personally hope it's just a spec bump. GT 650M, USB 3.0 and 3820QM would be great to me. An innovated design, bug free and powerful. Swap the optical out for a 1 TB and add a 128 GB SSD, pure awesome.

Features

The improved feature set now includes support for up to 4 active displays. Furthermore, high resolution monitors of up to 3840x2160 pixels can now be connected using DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 1.4a if available. HD-Audio codecs, such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD, can be transmitted via bitstream mode through the HDMI port. However, as most laptops will feature Optimus, the integrated GPU will likely have direct control over the display ports and may limit the feature set available by the Nvidia Kepler cards.

That is VERY interesting to me. Do we get a 4xHDMI + random ports breakout dongle? You know, before the product has been out 6 months to 3 years? Yes it's okay if 3 of the monitors are old skewl resolution.

If you're this devastated by this "news" then please never watch the news. Far more worse things going on in the world.
