Jan Zdarsa The Apple event hasn't started yet, but it looks like Steve Jobs won't bring any significant news in the evening, just like it happened at the Let's Rock event, where Apple presented the new iPods.
MacNN confirmed that The leaked Macbook Pro photos are indeed real. The processor of the Macbook Pro should reach up to 2,8Ghz, the Wi-Fi should be improved, the hard drives will have a speed of 7200 rpm, HD displays, you will be able to choose a 128GB SSD drive in the configurator, it will not be necessary to go to the service center to replace the hard drive and At least Macbook Pro will have FireWire, not on a small Macbook (unfortunately). The new Macbook Pro also promises extra long battery life, mainly thanks to Hybrid SLI.
Among other things, this was also confirmed. What does this mean for us? There will be 2 graphics cards in the Macbook – one integrated for normal office work and one dedicated, powerful (9400GT in Macbook, 9600GT in Macbook Pro). Thanks to the intelligent management of HybridPower, Leopard will switch between these two graphics, and the battery life benefits from this. Apple worked with Nvidia more deeply and they worked on OpenCL. This is the graphical interface that will be used in Snow Leopard in 2009, where it will be able to move certain processes to graphics computing.
The prices apply exactly as I informed v previous article. In this price list, I wrote about the fact that I am missing the lowest model. The latter will not be missing, moreover, it will be discounted to $999, but it will not be a new model! The current model with a C2D 2,1Ghz processor will be sold at this price. The new models should be available more or less immediately, so no waiting like the iPhone.
In the same article I mentioned i a larger trackpad that will be glass According to the information Daring Fireball. The Macbook Pro version with a 17″ display will not receive a complete redesign and upgrade at the moment, older models with larger RAM memory and larger hard drives will continue to be sold.
