We have just received the specifications of one of the new 13" MacBook Pro. We will give you the details in a few minutes, but you should already know that Apple is calling its own implementation of the LightPeak technology, 'Thunderbolt'
[Update] Here are the specifications of one 13" MacBook Pro:
- Core i5 processor dual core 2,3 GHz with 3 Mo of cache
- 4 Go of DDR3 1333 MHz
- Hard Drive 320 GB 5400 rpm
- Glossy 13,33" display 1280x800
- Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384 Mo of RAM shared with the main memory
- FaceTime HD video camera
- Superdrive 8x
- Thunderbolt port compatible with I/O peripherals and high speed Mini Displayport
- SDXC card reader, one Firewire 800 and two USB 2.0
- Numeric audio out
- Integrated Ethernet
- Backlit keyboard
- Dimensions and weight: 32,5x22,7x2,41 cm; 2,04 kg
The Thunderbolt and Mini Displayport will share the same connector as they have the same shape. There will be options such as the mate display, but we don't have much details yet.
Nothing about an SSD dedicated to the OS. In the end, the upgrade seems less impressive than we first thought, the external design staying the same.
To finish here is a bonus, the Thunderbolt logo:
