What's Expected of the New MacBook Pro
What's Expected of the New MacBook Pro

If rumors are correct, Apple will unveil new MacBooks on or about October 14th. Computerworld's Seth Weintraub noted that a redesign is long overdue and took some educated guesses about what the new MacBook Pros will sport when they're released.
Among the items Mr. Weintraub expects -- or hopes for are:
- One piece aluminum, rounder, skinnier, like MacBook Air
- 16:9 LED backlit display. Not 16:10.
- HDMI video out
- SSD option
- Centrino 2 chipset with 1066 MHz FSB
The CW author goes into a little bit of detail for these items and more. He's not so sure about Blu-ray, virtual keyboard and an HD camera.
In the aggregate, if Apple delivers most of these options and designs in a new MacBook Pro for the same price as the current products, the Apple community will be more than pleased.
