Macbook Pro 2011

The good old Macbook Pro, the college favorite of film makers and music makers, is in need of a update. According to rumors and so called insider information online, many people are guessing that the Macbook Pro will receive that much needed update in April of 2011.

It has been almost a year since a major update has come to the Macbook Pro, so many are expecting something big, like a new design change. As what that design change brings, no one can say for sure. But you can expect it to look awesome just like everything apple makes.

In hardware, you can expect SSD options or Hard drive. The Hard drive options may go up 750 GB's, or apple may just keep them at the standard 250 and 500 options due to the focus of the online cloud coming in the future.

I know I speak for many users when we all want the new Sandy Bridge processors. The current Macbook Pro still runs on Intel Core duo, which isn't bad, but for being a PRO computer, we expect better. 


I expect the displays will stay pretty the same. A few people have guess that apple may put touchscreens for the trackpad, but I highly doubt that will happen.


Other predictions include a SD-card slot, which would be handy for those who store pictures or use SD cards. There are also predictions that Apple may be dropping the Optical Drive on the Macbook Pro. Since the new Mac App store will allow you to download software. This would be a shame as Optical CD's still come in handy and it would be nice to have the option of using it. But if apple did drop this, the battery life would be better, so I guess the sword is double edged. 

That's all the buzz about the Macbook Pro for 2011. Hopefully Apple will create one awesome update this April. Are you looking froward to the updates? Post a comment below.
