Specs sheet and photos of soon-to-be-released Intel Sandy Bridge powered MacBook Pro line has leaked into the wild. The new MacBook Pro will sport Light Peak technology, which Apple is said to be calling as Thunderbolt, an HD video camera for FaceTime-HD calls, and more.
It's pretty much accepted now that we'll be treated to a MacBook Pro refresh in the next week or two, but unusually there hasn't been the level of leaks we tend to see before a major line-refresh. BGR however does have some interesting tidbits to share, with one in particular surprising all of us.
Folks over at Engadget have got hold of the newly released 15’’ MacBook Pro which is powered by Intel Core i7 processor. Surprisingly enough, these new MacBook Pro’s includes new trackpads which enables inertial scrolling like the one found in iPhone OS.
Apple has finally unveiled the new MacBook Pro family which is powered by Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i7 processor. However the Core i5 and Core i7 option is only available for 15.4 and 17-inch models. The more popular 13-incher disappointingly stays on Core 2 Duo.
We informed you all yesterday about a Core i7 MacBook Pro, which was recently spotted in a Geekbench benchmark report. And now it seems like Apple may be set to launch one of these as early as Tomorrow. According to a French site named Nowhere Else, Apple will refresh its MacBook Pro lineup tomorrow just in time for the start of Macworld Expo.
The current generation of MacBook Pro’s are powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors. At CES 2010 last month, Intel officially unveiled Core i5 and Core i7 processors for the first time for portable computers. Apple’s MacBook Pro line is due for an upgrade this year and it would only be wise for Apple to ship these with Core i5/i7 processors as they are now the flagship chipsets of Intel.
A new promotional ad by Intel, which was sent out to US, UK and Spanish members of Intel Retail Edge Program has highlighted the upcoming Intel Core i5 powered MacBook Pro by Apple. The adverts which reads "Pass this month's trainings for 2 chances to win one of 2 MacBook Pro laptops with the accelerated response of an Intel Core i5 processor" clearly indicates towards a possible new, refreshed lineup of MacBook Pros.
