Portrait of MacBook Pro 2012

Many sources believe that the new Macbook Pro will have a bigger screen, remove some hardware parts, increase battery life and have an extremely attractive starting price.

1. Redesign like MacBook Air

Apple Insider magazine said that Apple will redesign the MacBook Pro with an external appearance in a super thin unibody like the Macbook Air on the market. Commenting on a relevant source, Apple Insinder revealed that the new Macbook Pro models will be launched in a year, not at the same time. Firstly, the 15th version "will be introduced, then the 17" model.

2. Goodbye DVD drive

Apple is best known for removing some hardware features from other competitors (such as iMac without a floppy drive). Some sources believe that Apple will not be equipped with a DVD drive for the new MacBook line. With no DVD drive, users can download applications, music or movies online. The Mac App Store application store will have a lot of great applications for the desktop. There is also iTunes, Amazon and many other online content repositories for you to choose from.

3. No HDD hard drive

Instead of an old-fashioned hard drive, Apple is likely to turn the MacBook completely into an SSD solid-state drive like the MacBook Air already has. SSD allows computers to access data at a faster rate. However, they are also more expensive than regular drives. Don't expect the Macbook to have better storage, but the price will fall.

4. New processor from Intel

Apple's new MacBook line will almost certainly use the latest processor from Intel called "Ivy Bridge". According to Intel's introduction, if equipped with an Ivy Bridge processor, the new MacBook Pro will be increased in speed and power while keeping power consumption low.

5. Extremely long battery life

MacBook Air is famous for its long battery life. We can expect a similarly impressive battery life on the new generation MacBook.

In addition, SlashGear magazine also revealed images that the new MacBook Pro will have a bigger battery bar than the old version:

6. Very fast boot time

Solid-state drives offer extremely fast boot times, which also means that your computer can immediately reactivate after sleep.

7. Starting price of 799 USD?

The latest rumor about the new MacBook says the product will start at $ 799. This may happen if Apple wants to immediately hinder the development of ultrabook competitors coming to market, however, many people are still skeptical about the authenticity of the information.

8. Retina screen

According to Kirk Skaugen, Intel's deputy director, the upcoming Ivy Bridge processor models will support the Retina display. After the first Ivy Bridge chip series was officially released, plus some sources said that OS X version of Mountain Lion will support screen resolution up to 2,880 x 1,800 on the new MacBook Pro. It is possible that the new MacBook Pro will be equipped with a Retina display.
