According to 9to5 mac Apple is reportedly ready to launch a new 15-inch MacBook Pro laptop with a high-resolution Retina display and a Macbook Air like design.
Anonymous sources who have supposedly handled parts from the upcoming notebook computer claim the new Ivy Bridge-powered MacBook Pro model will be available this summer. The new MacBook Pro is said to be thinner than the existing 15-inch notebooks but thicker than Apple’s MacBook Air . The new laptops will allegedly include retina displays as well as USB 3 compatibility, and they ditch optical drives a la Apple’s MacBook Air and Mac mini. Production of the new MacBook Pro models reportedly began in April.
