Well,
That was disappointing! Sure the new MacBook Air is cool and all, but who really needs it? It has less power than the MacBook and how many people really need that much portability? I was hoping a for a new MacBook Pro as previously discussed.
I’m willing to guess that new MacBook Pros will arrive shortly anyhow. Most probably had to do with the short amount of time they have had since Penryn was launched and also not taking the limelight off of the MacBook Air.
The MacBook Air does, however, give a few clues about whats to come in the next MacBook Air. The keyboard for sure. A Back-lit MacBook style chicklet keyboard. The casing will probably stay the same. If they are going to change the case, it would make more sense to have a new motherboard (Logic Board) that fits with it. The new MacBook Pro will use the same Santa Rosa chipset as the current rev. MacBook Pro. For intel’s next generation mobile chipset, Montevina they will have to change the motherboard. Montevina also supports the next generation Wi-fi, WiMax. Montevina is expected Mid-2008… Please Apple, don’t wait that long before another revision!
I’m estimating updates will come for the MacBook Pro sometime within the next month.
