New Apple MacBook Pro models found in Apple, Best Buy inventory systems

Monday, February 25, 2008 - 01:23 PM EDT

"The seemingly endless wait for a new line of professional notebooks from Mac maker Apple Inc. appears to be nearing an end, with part numbers and pricing for new MacBook Pro models cropping up in inventory systems worldwide over the weekend," AppleInsider reports.

"Three new Apple-formatted part numbers -- MB402LL/A, MB403LL/A, and MB404LL/A -- have turned up in inventory management systems of both Apple and its channel resellers such as Best Buy," AppleInsider reports.

"The part numbers, listed for future MacBook Pros models, were included alongside pricing that matches Apple's current offerings at $1999.00, $2499.00 and $2799.00, respectively, for those part numbers," AppleInsider reports.

"In addition to Intel's latest Core 2 Duo Penryn mobile processors scaling up to 2.6GHz, the new Apple professional notebooks are also expected to gain an advanced multi-touch trackpad akin to the one which recently made its debut on the MacBook Air," AppleInsider reports.

An announcement could come as early as tomorrow, AppleInsider reports. Full article here.

It could be another super Tuesday from Apple tomorrow.

AppleInsider published their article after MacRumors did. AI didn't even give any mention about MR reporting it first. No credit was given to MR ... just another example of the losers over at AI.

Overall, I'm sick and tired of AI. They manipulate stories so they can get more traffic and they work behind the scenes to get their stories into the "popular" ranks on Digg.

Ever notice how soon after AI publishes an article on Digg, it quickly gets a lot of Diggs. If you look at their Digg history and the people digging their stories, many of the same users show up.

That's nice. Can I have my 1TB Time Capsule now?

Wonder when Blu-Ray drives will be available.

/no, not really.

Hoping for a small-screen option to maybe replace my consumer Macbook (don't want the heft and size of a 15"+ screen), but not holding my breath...

Is MacBook going to gain Al enclosure? It would be a green thing to do.

Feb 25, 08 - 03:52 pm Comment from: Sarasota

So it's just a processor and track-pad upgrade? Maybe the smart thing to do would be to pick up an existing model refurb once the prices drop again.

"my says"

mine, damnit, mine...........

It's the wait for a weight reduction that's possibly over.... It's likely to be mostly speed bumps only and perhaps a larger trackpad for multi-touch.... oh, and that new brighter screen like we have seen in the MBA... and maybe a few ounces lighter. Update, not replacement. So is it really a big deal?

Feb 25, 08 - 05:51 pm Comment from: DLMeyer

And here I was hoping they would bump up to the Core 2 Quad chip! Oh, well, not really that big a deal in a portable.

Could they please update the friggin' Cinema displays with built-in iSights already?

Something's coming soon. At the moment Apple web store is unavailable with a note that they are updating and will be back shortly. Hope it's something snappy.
