As far as the GPUs go, check out adobe AE CS6's requirements and i think you can make conclusions:

I'm not sure I'd be that fussed about Retina Display on MBP; the resolution is high enough for me not to notice any pixelation or degradation in quality.
I don't know guys, after discovering this geekbench result yesterday and trying to understand the results leads to me believe that they may collapse the 13" pro model into the macbook air line! And only leave the pro machines to the 15" and possibly a 17" (if they don't discontinue that)
If it were a to follow the previous releases then this in fact should be a MacBookPro9,2 (15") and not a 9,1 (13"). Meaning that the 9,1 would be the 15". We know that processor in that geekbench score won't go in at 13" model, it draws too much power 45W and there has never been a 13" with a 45W processor.
If we think about it, today's 13" sandy bridge pro and air are "almost" neck to neck in performance. With the new ivy bridge processor the performance gap becomes even smaller and almost close to the same! It makes perfect sense that they would do that as new airs probably could perform just as well as a 13" pro.
What do you think?

Now that is some great investigating! Hopefully 8gb standard on the MBP. instead of 4gb.
I've been away from MacRumors for a while due to exams. Can anybody update me on what the general time span is from the rumours we have so far of when the next MacBook Pros and/or iMacs are due to be released?
I'm getting excited lol.
Thanks.![]()
Why force the extra 4GB on users if it's not needed? We see so many people complaining about how expensive Apple products are, then complain when they don't include unneeded expensive components.
Adobe optimized around CUDA long ago and that's probably where it will end, but unless you have a Mac Pro, you don't have access to a Quadro card.

I just saw the latest demos of CS6 and how fast the Mercury engine speeds up workflow with Nvidia GPUs.
It's absolutely stunning how fast they are.
Ivy Bridge is going to give maybe a 10%-15% increase in performance.
CUDA is 100%-300% faster than non-CUDA GPUs.
That's huge for Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects users.
Now, if only we can get some Macs with the full line of Quadro GPUs.
Please Apple.
Thank you.![]()
I believe that HD is actually made by Seagate (Momentus XT) and can be installed into pretty much any modern laptop. I installed one for someone the other week and it does seem faster than the 7200RPM drive in my current MBP, although a pure SSD is still noticeably faster. Will probably get one for my next MBP, assuming Apple doesn't give you the option of having 2 HDs (an SSD and HD).I've been saving up for over a year for my next laptop and while I've been 100% Mac for a long time, I've decided to part ways with Apple for this next purchase. For one, I ran out of patience waiting for Ivy Bridge Laptops and I wanted one that is available now. Secondly, I have been getting more and more disgruntled with Apple's quality recently (as mentioned in the linked article). Thirdly, I wanted the size of a hard drive but the speed of an SSD, and HP provides Intel's Smart Response technology that gives an SSD cache that has been proven to work remarkedly well. Lastly and perhaps on the most significant note, I have a kid that I am saving for college for, and the over $1000 savings is just too much to ignore.
That being said... I'm not switching the entire household over... only my personal laptop. I'd dread having to play IT guy and disinfecting the family computers when they get viruses. Needless to say, the one feature that is actually appealing to me in Mountain Lion is Gatekeeper.
With dual cores coming in at 4 threads these days, it's a little hard to imagine how often most people will need a four core (eight thread) machine.
