Some analysts said Apple could stop producing the 17-inch MacBook Pro this year and replace the entire Pro line into " The New MacBook " in 2013. Currently, the 17-inch MacBook Pro is estimated to account for only 1, 7% of Apple's laptop sales in the first quarter of 2012.

According to Slashgear, "Apple" will only upgrade MacBook Pro 13 and 15 inches with new processors and high-resolution Retina screens in the upcoming WWDC 2012 event from 11-15 June. Other sources also said that the 2012 MacBook Pro will have a new ultra-slim design, "borrowed" from the MacBook Air instead of the current style.

In addition, KGI's Ming-Chi Kuo analyst also said Apple will reduce the total number of laptops to four, based on market acceptance for each model. Specifically, the company will only sell MacBook Air 11 and 13 inches along with the "new MacBook " (the new name of the MacBook Pro) 13 and 15 inches. These products can use Intel Haswell platform chips instead of Ivy Bridge.
