Apple Prepping New MacBook Pro Range ?

Yesterday rumours surfaced that Apple was lining up the Mac Book Pro range for their annual refresh, but this time it's thought it would be a major overhaul rather than a slight evolution that we saw in February.

The current thinking is it will be become substantially slimmer, and will even come with solid state hard drives for the first time.

Well more rumours are surfacing that suggest that Apple are considering using carbon composites for the case, which will of course shed a substantial amount of weight.

Its been almost 3 years since Apple introduced the new aluminium design to the MacBook family, which has been a major success for Apple.

On the last major re-design Apple introduced a stunning design featuring a single piece of Aluminium to make the MacBook range the only laptops around that had little or no plastic on the exterior case.

The Macbook Pro range of course  got a slight tweak back in February, adding new faster Intel processors and the new superfast Thunderbolt i/o connection.

But you can expect the overhaul to go a whole lot further this time, rather than a refresh, rumours are suggesting an all-new design, with Apple finally ready to introduce Carbon composites in one their device for the first time.

Details are of course sketchy at best, if you look at the recent device changes from Apple it would be a safe bet that it will have substantially thinner form factor and probably with solid state drives a la the new MacBook Air. But expect a few surprises too.
