Zvonurile privind lansarea unui nou MacBook Pro care are un design asemanator cu cel al MacBook Air continua astazi deoarece o publicatie asiatica sustine ca Apple ar fi inceput sa produca acest nou dispozitiv. Digitimes este publicatia asiatica care ar avea surse in interiorul fabricilor partenerilor companiei Apple si se pare ca acum ar fi inceput productia unui stoc de 100.000 – 150.000 de unitati. Noul dispozitiv ar urma sa vina fara unitate optica deci nu vom mai putea folosi CD/DVD-uri cu el insa eliminarea acestei componente ar permite dezvoltarea unui design mult mai subtire, asemanator cu cel al MacBook Air.
Apple has revised its MacBook Pro to become slimmer by removing the optical disc drive, with 13- and 15-inch models in production for initial monthly shipments of 100,000-150,000 units, according to sources at its supply chain partners. The MacBook Pro will no longer have an optical drive enabling thinner designs, the sources indicated. Despite the slim profile, the new devices will feature more advanced specs than the MacBook Air in terms of CPU performance and storage capacity, the sources said. Production for the next-generation MacBook Pro has already begun with shipments to Apple kicking off in March, the sources noted. Monthly shipments will eventually climb to 900,000 units from the 100,000-150,000 units targeted initially, the sources said.
Desi se porneste cu 100.000 – 150.000 de unitati asamblate lunar, se pare ca in urmatoarele luni se va ajunge pe la 900.000 de unitati asamblate lunar deci Apple considera ca va vinde cateva milioane de Mac-uri in perioada lansarii noului OS X Mountain Lion. Un MacBook Pro mai subtire si mai usor ar fi extrem de bine primit de catre toti utilizatorii si daca ar veni cu o autonomie mai buna atunci cred ca ar putea fi un real succes in ciuda pretului de vanzare destul de mare.
