MacBook Pro Makeover in the Wings

in News on May 15 at 5:40 am PT

The MacBook Pro, Apple’s flagship laptop, is about to get a transformative overhaul. Sources familiar with Apple’s plans say the company intends to debut, at its upcoming Worldwide Developers conference, the first major upgrade to the line since the aluminum unibody in 2008. The new MacBook Pros will feature a significantly thinner chassis, new high-resolution “Retina-esque” displays, faster processors chosen from Intel’s third-generation Core series chips, code-named Ivy Bridge, and Nvidia GPUs. Most of these details were first reported on Monday by 9to5mac.
