Geek Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/macbook-pro-lineup-2012.jpg" alt="MacBook Pro Lineup in 2012 maybe" title="macbook-pro-lineup-2012" width="620" height="98" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27078" /></p> <p>The entire MacBook Pro lineup will be redesigned “radically” this year to more closely resemble the MacBook Air, according to a new report from <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/02/10/apple_to_disrupt_notebook_space_with_radically_redesigned_macbook_pros.html">AppleInsider</a>. Citing a source who says “they’re all going to look like MacBook Airs,” AppleInsider also suggests the MacBook Pro 15″ will likely be the first of the bunch to be redesigned, and will feature the removal of older technologies like the traditional hard disk drive and optical drives, in favor of digital distribution and SSD drives.</p> <p>Assuming the latest report lines up with past rumors and reports, here is what we could possibly see from a refreshed MacBook Pro line this year:</p> <ul> <li>Thin and light MacBook Air inspired design</li> <li>Dual Core & Quad Core Ivy Bridge CPU’s with speeds <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/06/future-macbook-air-to-support-two-external-displays/">up to 2.9GHz</a></li> <li>An ultra high resolution display at <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/14/macbook-pro-with-2880x1800-retina-display-rumored-for-release-in-2012/">2880×1800</a></li> <li>SSD drive to replace the traditional hard drives</li> <li>Removal of the optical drive</li> <li>Longer battery life</li> <li>Emphasis on digital distribution for software installation</li> </ul> <p>Taiwanese trade publication Digitimes previously suggested that a new MacBook Pro (or Air) 15″ model <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/14/macbook-air-15-coming-in-2012/">may come in March</a>, which would coincide nicely with the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/09/ipad-3-release-set-for-march/">iPad 3 rollout</a>. If the suspected high resolution display was included, it would also help to resolve the issue of designing for a <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/10/how-ipad-3s-retina-display-resolution-would-compare-to-other-screens/">retina iPad resolution</a> on the currently smaller screen resolutions offered with Mac laptops.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QZQYBX80z194DIWZuqtOmklZ32E/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QZQYBX80z194DIWZuqtOmklZ32E/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QZQYBX80z194DIWZuqtOmklZ32E/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/QZQYBX80z194DIWZuqtOmklZ32E/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cIvJfedgxww:TPSDP625Fdo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cIvJfedgxww:TPSDP625Fdo:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=cIvJfedgxww:TPSDP625Fdo:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cIvJfedgxww:TPSDP625Fdo:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=cIvJfedgxww:TPSDP625Fdo:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cIvJfedgxww:TPSDP625Fdo:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=cIvJfedgxww:TPSDP625Fdo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/cIvJfedgxww" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
