Detailed specifications for the rumored MacBook Pro updates have been leaked online by 9to5Mac.
Today, we have all the details on the new notebooks and this looks to be a minor refresh with faster processors and more storage (for some models). The prices will be the same as the current model's prices.
13 inch MacBook Pro: ● 2.4 GHz dual core processor, 4 GB of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, SD card slot ● 2.8 GHz dual core processor, 4 GB of RAM, 750 GB hard drive, SD card slot
15 inch MacBook Pro: ● 2.2 GHz quad core processor, 4 GB of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, SD card slot ● 2.4 GHz quad core processor, 4 GB of RAM, 750 GB hard drive, SD card slot
The 13" may have two cores that run at 2.8, but the 15" and 17" have 4 cores. This means they have 4x the speed because of 4 different cores, and not just 2.
ExpressCard slot AND an SD card slot on the 17" MacBook Pro? I'd been holding off on buying a new one and now it looks like I can pick up an ExpressCard SSD drive and not have to pop it out to use my ExpressCard card reader. Sold!
