- no more white MacBook (Apple goes back to two lines of 13" inchers) - 16 GB SSD mSATA drives on all models to store the system - Core i3 and third USB port on the 13" model - Matte screen option on the higher-end 13" - Option to replace the SuperDrive with a SSD on the 15 and 17" models - HD screens on all models : 1440x900 on the 13", 1680x1050 on the 15" - 200 to 300 grams lighter : 1.8 kg for the 13", 2.3 kg for the 15", 2.65 kg for the 17" - Better battery life : 12 hours on the 13", 10 hours on the 15" - 8 GB of RAM on the 17"
In addition to all these changes, MacGeneration cites another source who claims a "new technology" will make its way into the MacBook Pros. At this point, it seems likely that Light Peak will be introduced. Intel is reportedly holding an event on the same day (Thursday) to officially launch Light Peak.
