In amongst all the talk of new iPads and Samsung Galaxy S III's, another product trending in the blogsosphere of late is Apple's MacBook range.
Amid all the talk of the iPad 3, Digitimes has remembered that Apple does indeed release other products besides the now hotly-anticipated third tablet installment - set to be launched on March 7th.
There can be little argument that Apple's MacBook Air line of ultra-thin, ultra-portable notebooks has been a success. Despite initial skepticism when the first 13" model launched with slow hardware and super small hard disks, the last two iterations have offered a much more robust machine.
After receiving a big spec bump earlier this year, the MacBook Pro lineup today received a smaller, but still appreciated bump in specifications. You can check out the details after jump!
According to sources familiar with such arrangements, Apple could be preparing a surprise update to its MacBook Pro range. With Intel's next-gen Core i-Series mobile platform not anticipated to arrive until at least Q2 next year, it is thought that Apple will inject some minor changes to keep consumers happy until then.
These days, Apple sells several 3G-capable devices, namely the iPad and the iPhone, but there is no such product on their iPod or Mac lineup. Indeed, no 3G-capable Mac even exists at the moment, but a new leaked prototype proves that Apple has looked into it.
Apple has finally unveiled the new MacBook Pro family which is powered by Intel Core i5, Core i7 and even Quad Core processors. Powered by Intel Sandy Bridge processors, the Quad Core option is only available for 15 and 17-inch models. Core i5 and Core i7 option though is available on all three models, that is, 13, 15 and 17-inches.
Leaked retail box shots of the upcoming MacBook Pro outlines a new feature, dubbed as FaceTime HD, which hints towards High-Definition 720p video chat coming to soon-to-be-released MacBook Pro line.
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.
According to MacRumors, Apple is all set to launch MacBook Pro refresh on Thursday, February 24th. Apple’s MacBook Pro line is due for an upgrade this year and it would only be wise for Apple to ship these with Intel Sandy Bridge processors as they are now the flagship chipsets of Intel.
