Mr. Blurrycam reveals the updated MacBook Pro, $899 laptop model shows up in Apple inventory systems

digg_url = 'http://digg.com/apple/Latest_Breaking_Macbook_Pro_Pic_for_October_Release'; Well, maybe -- we're not calling it official until Steve pulls the cloth off himself tomorrow morning . Still, there's no denying the similarities between this image and all those other case leaks we've seen, and the list of specs we've been given matches up as well -- that "metal and glass" enclosure now houses an NVIDIA GPU, but no FireWire 400, and video-out is apparently through a connector "more compact" than MicroDVI. We'll find out soon enough -- oh, and just to amp up expectations, Boy Genius says he's confirmed the existence of an $899 part number in Apple's retail systems. Counting down...

Update: Our source just hit us with another pic, this time from the side -- it's after the break. We're also told that there's not one, but two NVIDIA GPUs inside -- we're guessing an integrated / discrete setup like in the VAIO Z, but we'll find out for sure tomorrow.

Update 2: Our source just hit us again to say that it's two full-on NVIDIA GPUs -- sounds like a hybrid SLI setup to us, which is pretty wild. Wilder still, they say the MacBook and 17-inch MacBook Pro aren't getting refreshed tomorrow, which we find hard to believe, but we'll see when we see.[/spoiler]

Looks sweet. Does GPU mean it has like dual processors? Cool.


But it is still a Mac >:C

[Heliopios]

At first I kinda cared, then I realized Macbooks are laptops, and that macbooks are macs. It's gay².

Dual GPUs, yes. Making them the ultimate in video rendering (as Photoshop now uses the GPU to render effects). On top of that, Macs are cool, and hating them is just as bad as thinking they're the best.

I don't hate macs I can just never say some thing RIDICULOUS like they are ok because I have sold my soul to Bill Gates.

You didn't give me this spoiler alert when you linked me the picture on MSN, you complete douche.

Actually I like Balmer's personality.

Actually I like Balmer's personality.

I give him credit for being charismatic and such, but honestly? I just don't see him being the best choice for running Microsoft. But if Bill Gates says he's good, well...

[size=1000000]Hey guys look, it's a Mac VS PC thread![/size]

[buttplug]

Hey guys look, it's a Mac VS PC thread!

Stop trying to turn it into one man :[

[SnakeClock]

Stop trying to turn it into one man :[

Talking to a mirror or Screwdriver?

[screwdriver_clock]

Hm. Believe me, this isn't a Mac Vs Pc thread. What happened here was a common derailment of the thread, on the capabilities of Steve Ballmer running Microsoft. I don't see anywhere here where we are saying that Mac is better than PC or the other way around. Oh well, keynote is at 1PM Eastern, 11am Pacific, 2pm SnakeClock Time

[SnakeClock]

When you're sliding into first and you're feeling something burst, verbal diarrhea... verbal diarrhea...

[screwdriver_clock]

Looking more at the Macbook Pro, I'm starting to wonder how they're going to handle the left and right click on this thing. the current "tap to click, tap with both fingers for right click?"

[screwdriver_clock]

Oh kay confirmed. To click, you use the trackpad as a button. The Macbooks have the same specs as last gen MacbookPros, rockin. I'm buying a Macbook now.

[PowerGloveClock]

HEY GUYS PC'S ARE BETTER I FIGURED I SHOULD POST THIS SINCE THIS IS NOW A MAC VS PC THREAD

[Loki Clock]

Screwdriver, I have no idea what you're talking about, because I have a regular MacBook, using good ole control click. What's this about some wonky tap with two fingers business?
