MacBook Pro Featuring Intel Core i5 & i7 to be Unveiled Today?

Tweet

We have talked for a while now about the upcoming MacBook Pro refresh. The main feature of the next-gen MacBook Pro laptops will be Intel’s 2010 processors. Since the Apple online store is down worldwide right now and most Apple competitors already have plenty of laptops sporting Intel Core i5 and i7 processors we can only assume that Cupertino will announce today the new MacBook Pro line.

Apple shouldn’t wait any longer to unveil the new MacBook Pros. Sure the current models are more than dependable and in case you have just purchased yours there’s no real point switching to the new model immediately. But there are tons of folks that have been waiting for these particular new models to arrive.

Just a little while ago we’ve seen the that MacBook Pros sporting Intel’s Core i5 chip have been confirmed and we’ve heard plenty of rumors suggesting that both Core i5 and i7 processors are going to be found inside the new beasts.

Furthermore it looks like Best Buy has finished its current stock of MacBook Pros which means they must be waiting for the next version to arrive. A leaked photo shows that the former models have been deleted from the inventory and, although not official, it all sounds pretty believable.

No matter how you look at it, the fact that the Apple Store is down is good news for consumers. Apple is surely going to unveil a new version of a product even if it’s not the much awaited MacBook Pro. In case it is the next-gen MacBook Pro then you’ll either want to buy it, or you could want to take advantage of the current MacBook Pros which will be available for less since Apple and other resellers will want to dump all their current MacBook Pros.

What about you? Are you going to get a new MacBook Pro?
