While we await the new MacBook Pro release, which is rumored to be on February 24th, a french site by the name of MacGeneration claims to have some of the leaked specs of the new Apple MacBook Pro line. Find out what the new MacBook Pro line features, down below.
MacRumors sums up these leaked features of the new Sandy Bridge touting MacBook Pro line quite well:
- no more white MacBook (Apple goes back to two lines of 13" inchers)
- 16 GB SSD mSATA drives on all models to store the system
- Core i3 and third USB port on the 13" model
- Matte screen option on the higher-end 13"
- Option to replace the SuperDrive with a SSD on the 15 and 17" models
- HD screens on all models : 1440x900 on the 13", 1680x1050 on the 15"
- 200 to 300 grams lighter : 1.8 kg for the 13", 2.3 kg for the 15", 2.65 kg for the 17"
- Better battery life : 12 hours on the 13", 10 hours on the 15"
- 8 GB of RAM on the 17
Among these alleged changes to the new MacBook Pros, MacGeneration cites another source who claims a "new technology" will be introduced on the new MacBook Pros. It seems like this "new technology" can very well be Apple's new high speed connection technology.
On the other hand, Intel is rumored to be holding an event on Thursday as well to officially launch Intel Light Peak.
Stay tuned as we will update once we hear more about the new MacBook Pros.
