New MacBook Pros Due Next Tuesday?
MacBook Pros have been in need of a breath of fresh air for awhile now, and now a new rumor out there is that the release of some new ones will be imminent for this coming Tuesday already, according to AppleInsider.A source that is familiar with Apple product cycles and inventory levels is making the claim. The same source was also unsure if they were going to be doing a MacBook Air refresh.The source was also "unsure" as to whether or not the rumors about an April 24th international release for the iPad would also hold true, but still felt that the date is "likely." The reasoning behind that date was due to a report that came out saying Canadian Apple store staff had the weekend of April 24th marked as "blacked out," or rather, they can't making any plans on those days to take off.As mentioned earlier this week, a Taiwanese newspaper stated that they thought Apple had delayed updates for its laptop units due to a supposed shortage of Intel processors. But today's report didn't making any mention of the smaller MacBooks being updated next Tuesday. The newspaper also said that the new MacBook Pros would sport a swanky 640GB hard drive, with an option of 248GB solid state drives. The computers would also support an 8 hour battery life.The last time Apple updated the MacBook Pro line was at the Worldwide Developers Conference last June.
