- NO MORE INTEL CORE 2 DUO; intel core i3 for entry model MBP 13
- Updated GPU's
- firewire 400 ports back (please)
- possible battery life update (for bad or for good)
I was personally disappointed when Apple stayed with the VERY oudated intel core 2 duo CPU's, which leads me to the first possible update, the intel core i3 chip for their entry model MacBook Pro 13. Apple's MacBook Pro 13 and the MacBook White are two very similar products. There is just a fine line seperating the two products which is not sufficient in the eyes of the consumer/customer.
The next possible update is their GPU's. The graphics is fine right now, but we need to see better preformance.
The third possible update would be the possible return of the oh so famous, firewire 400 port as many of us need for camcorders or external hard drives that need firewire 400. The disappointment in customer and or consumer rises with each refresh.
I mentioned earlier that the MacBook Pro 13 will finally get the power it deserves with the intel core i3 chip but because of this, the battery life may be decreased significantly. This leads to another thought; Apple may just want to reserve the i3/i5/i7 chips for the higher end computers for sheer power/preformance, and leave the MacBook Pro with a "new" update with 2.66 ghz as its entry model, and 3.06 ghz with the higher end MacBook Pro 13. But still leaving it behind with the Intel Core 2 duo chips.
Will Apple listen to their customers and or consumers for greater power and better preformance? Or will Apple ignore their customers and or consumers and continue with what they believe will be best for the consumer or customers? We will find out in just a few weeks in the keynote with Mr. Steve Jobs.
