Details emerge of MacBook redesign
Published: 26 Sep 2008 09:04 BST
The MacBook redesign is just around the corner, and proof has surfaced that it will look a lot like its siblings.
AppleInsider reports that new MacBooks and new MacBook Pros have been spotted by people-in-the-know, and that, as expected, the new systems will get aluminum-based exteriors similar to the ones found on the MacBook Air and iMac.
This will give Apple some consistency across the Mac notebook lineup entering the Christmas shopping season; for years, the MacBook has had a distinct look separate from the MacBook Pro.
One interesting part of the report also suggests Apple plans to drop the Firewire 400 port and the DVI-I ports currently found on the MacBook Pro in favour of a Firewire 800 port and a mini-DVI port.
New MacBooks have been expected for months now as the MacBook design gets a little long in the tooth. The last time new details surfaced on the notebooks, 14 October was targeted as the introduction date.
