Macbook Pro 2012 to come with improved features: release date close

April 18, 2012 | Filed under: Business | Posted by:

Macbook Pro 2012 is going to be a reality pretty soon. People are awaiting its launch with bated breath. People are hoping that the latest line of Macbook Pro will be substantially better and improved than the existing Macbooks available in the market.

There are several expectations from the forthcoming Macs. A report suggests that the gadget will come with a retina display. For Apple this will not be something new. It has already brought retina display in its latest tablet iPad 3 and there is no reason to discount the possibility of Macbook Pro coming out with it.

But if Macbook Pro 2012 comes with retina display it means that its display quality will be several times better than the existing one. A retina display will provide Macbook Pro 2012 a resolution of 2880-by-1800.

Meanwhile rumor mills are working overtimes regarding the launch of Macbook Pro. There are several inconsistencies in the account of rumor mongers. The default resolution of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, for example, is 1440-by-900, which means if Digtimes were correct, Apple would be doubling the pixels per inch (ppi) included in the notebook’s display to 220ppi. Though this is difficult for any company, but for Apple it is simply not impossible

With iPad 3’s retina display, I am sure things are not as illogical to hope for a retina display in Macbook pro 2012 as well. But can they replicate iPad 3’s success in Macbook Pro as well. I am sure that guys in Apple are more capable than anyone else to accomplish it without any hitch.

In the meantime reports have suggested that the new Macbook Pro 2012 will come with a thinner body. Though it is still not clear, but all indications suggest the same. Leaks from Cupertino based tech giant suggest that the re-designed MacBook pro is expected to come with a lighter case that is slightly thicker than the MacBook Air, but it will be a lot lighter than the current MacBook Pro.

Another great piece of news is the fact that Macbook Pro 2012 will be coming with Intel Ivy Bridge. Chip giant Intel is going to shrink its chip microarchitecture to a 22-nanometer process, using 3D transistors. Intel claims that it will double the power efficiency of the processor. This is also going to improve the battery life of the product itself.

    This is the worst, I want a Macbook Pro, but couldn’t possibly buy one at this point… Not with a new one right around the corner with major improvements. C’mon Apple roll it out.

I am out of touch with the world without a laptop.. please hurry!! I am VERY excited to be switching to an ALL APPLE life, and i will never miss having to call overseas to fix my dell. I will never go back! So, please .. are you reading this? I need my new macbook pro yesterday…

    Can’t wait for the upcoming MBP, my MBP is now 4 years old and I’m so excited about the 2012 release. pleaseeeeeeeee apple surprise us !!!
    Intel Ivy, Retina, Big size SSD, Slim body and the most user friendly feature “All-hand rest area as Trackpad” are highly expected.
    Here in Iran it takes more than 2 months to get an apple product after their announcement worldwide. As an apple family we are using all apple notebooks (2006 Macbook, 2010 Macbook, 2008 Pro 15, 2010 Pro 13 and 2010 Air!) but for me, the most wanted and excited about, is the Macbook pro all the time, and as I heard they already started the production. simply we have to wait.. maybe 2-3 weeks..

    I don’t mind any of it, so long as it has dedicated graphics for at least the 15″ model and space capacity is large if it comes with SSD (at least 250 GB). If not, I will buy the late 2011 model…

    My Toshiba got the blue screen of death a month ago and I have been running it in safe mode. I never knew how much I took sound for granted. Apple hurry up and release this already, I want to buy

    I’m excited for the new release as I think my early ’08 Macbook Pro is on the way out, but some of the changes have me skeptical.

    I hear there’s no optical drive which is only a slight bother. I still use mine for watching DVDs and burning the occasional CD or what-have-you. But considering my optical drive broke and I had to get an external recently I can get by.

    I’m more annoyed by the supposed lack of ethernet port. Maybe in some parts of the world it’s considered obsolete, but I moved overseas and in my home and workplace there is *only* ethernet. Having to buy adapters is certainly not huge inconvenience, but it’s really annoying. Seems like Apple likes to force these changes upon the world, but maybe the world isn’t ready yet.

    I, as much as anyone am waiting in anticipation for the new MBP. This means i regularly check the internet for any news or rumours associated with it. Whilst i appreciate the time you have taken to collate some of this and publish it on your website, it would be good if someone could proof read the article first. In some areas the english is so bad they make no sense whatsoever.

    e.g

    “Meanwhile rumor mills are working overtimes regarding ….”

    “Though this is difficult for any company, but for Apple it is simply not impossible”

    “I am sure things are not as illogical to hope for… “

    I’m with Derek and Janelle, and Shelley… I check the net daily scouring for news on the imminent release of the all-new MBP. I would like to still have an optical drive. And I too have a dying Dell notebook.

    Having experienced an Apple iPhone for 2 years and 2 week old iPad (3) I am impressed with the design and quality of apple products and the wonderful service apple provides. I’ve experienced Dells lack of service as they push for profit while sacrificing customer satisfaction. And most other notebooks look and feel the same now.

    Apple is light years ahead of its competition in all areas.. hence its share price.

    I would love the brand new and latest apple technology but do I want a notebook without a DVD player? I guess I’ll know when I see the new one released.

    As a long long tin PC user. I am now ready to move totally to a Mac environment. Have a 2 iPhone 4 and a iMac (my wife’s) in the house and can’t wait to get a MacBook Pro 15″
    Just hope the timers are right

  • Matt

    Can’t wait. Want! Retina Display, discreet powerful GPU (Kepler please), top line Ivy Bridge, 17 inches of goodness on display. Optical Drive – take it away, make it thinner! I use it once in a blue moon, happy to go external. Just make it damn, damn powerful for graphics and games!

    My MBP is heading year 6 and running extremely slow. I can no longer open multiple softwares from Adobe Creative Suite. Everything takes much longer to do and my patience is running out. Why Apple is always so secret about the launching date??

  • dan

    i cant wait for MBP 17 inch to come out. I have bought mine last year in June. What a great computer I can tell u. No more dealing with hotlines for errors. I can finish all tasks on this laptop so easily and so smooth. I spent a lot of money, but I am ready to buy another MBP 17 if it comes out in 2 months. It is worth every penny. I will simply leave this current MBP 17 in the corner and then just continue using the new one.

    Apple, thank you so much for making my life less complicated and less stress with ur products. I got also iPhone and not Android. The phone is so easy to navigate. I have so much pleasure using it on daily basis. I saw once an Android phone. I thought to just look at the operating system. I had headaches bc the user interface was anything but friendly. When paging, you could see little delays. When scrolling down the page, you could see it was not as smooth as iphone. I was like, thank god, I didnt buy an Android. No way, I would replace iPhone for such a phone. Not in 10 years.

    I have less headaches. If I need anything, I know were to go. Apple centers. You get perfect service. You dont have to mail back nothing. Just go to Apple and leave the computer with them. You will see what service you get.

    Since I moved to Mac from Windows, my life has been with less stress. No more hard drive maintenance, no more defragmentations, antivirus updates and and and. Format hard drive for errors.

    I cant wait for iPhone 5 to come out. Oh yeah. I am sure we will all enjoy the phone more than ever.

    Apple, the best.

    My Dell 1720 is dying and I can hardly wait for the MBP 17″! Apple, I’ve finally realized I need to go Apple and told Dell to take a flying leap. Please release the 17″ with all the expected upgrades! Help! Some of us are hurt’n bad!
