Rumor: German retailer might have new MacBook Pro
German retailer T-Systems (a division of Deutsche Telekom/T-Mobile, already the iPhone's German carrier) has had images of what it claims is a MacBook Pro for sale, but this model includes a glossy screen with a black border, much like current iMac displays.
The notebooks feature 2.5GHz and 2.6GHz (update: the latter of which has been removed from the site, but we have a cached copy) Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard disk, and an nVidia GF 8600M GT video card. My German is very rusty, but it appears the 2.5GHz laptops are offered with both glossy and matte displays.
If true, it could mean more definite announcements from Apple soon about new laptops on the way.
Thanks, Felix!

For the love of god apple, just make a 12" or 13" Macbook Pro. Please. The 15 is just too big for some people.

Anyway - I don't see any "aggressive" new price points...

Where is the 12"?
Seriously, where is it?
I'm happy with the design even though I kind of hoped for something more.
It's def. time for the "old" Blackbook to retire once these babys get out there.
Notice, the site says: "Derzeit nicht lieferbar", that means that they are currently unavailable.
