Mac4Ever posts these photos that appear to be marketing materials of the new MacBook Pros with a partial image of notebook itself:

Finally, this image claiming to show a ThunderBolt port which looks a lot like a DisplayPort. We're not sure the original source of this image:

Update: We've confirmed these images are legitimate. This is of the low-end 13" MacBook Pro, so it's possible the higher end model have different features.

Slap an SSD In place of the standard HD and we're good to go.

Just 320 gigs.

If only there was an option to upgrade the HD or to get a higher end model. If only this was just the lowest end base model and not the only Macbook anyone could buy....

That's probably the base model. More than likely you can upgrade the HD to 500 gigs and they'll have SSD options as well.

A lot of you guys don't know how Apple does its thing, huh?

Apple haters need something to whine about. SSD options have been available for at least the past 2 years, but hater want them standard.

I forgot to bookmark to read later that there is concern that upgrading to ssd's at least now, is like trading in security for speed...

some concerns have been thrown around about the overall security of ssd drives..

It's going to come down to price for me. I don't shell out thousands of dollars on shit every month like most of the bgol'ers claim they do.

 

[billybob2]

Depending on the specs of the higher models I may buy another and give my wif my mid 2010 15in i5. It's not even 4 months old. I wanted to wait but I needed a laptop for school and had to have it then. This thing has saved me countless hours and trips to the cyber lounge.
