Will Apple unveil a new line of MacBook Pros today? Some signs point to the possibility the Cupertino, Calif. may announce new laptops with faster chips to coincide with this week’s Macworld Expo 2010.
The first tea leaf isa French gadget blog which quotes an anonymous source. The source “who works for Apple just tell me that the new MacBook Pro line will be launched tomorrow,” according to blogger Steve Hemmerstoffer. The MacBook Pro, which has not seen a major change since last June, could receive faster Intel chips.
Although Apple no longer has a presence at Macworld, some see an announcement during the time the San Francisco gathering, as possible, pointing to the 2009 Web introduction of the 27-inch iMacs.
Another possible clue comes from an anonymous Best Buy employee which told the Mac Rumors blog, current MacBook Pros are no longer available in their inventory system. A third clue to a MacBook Pro update is a report of an unknown MacBook Pro “6.1” discovered running a 2.66GHz Intel i7 M 620 chip.
Until Apple makes it official, the Mac community will continue to read tea leaves on the future of the MacBook Pro line.
