17-inch MacBook Pro going unibody with built-in battery

Not the unibody MBP. But it is a unitard

MacWorld is going to be amazing this year because, get this, there will be a new MBP announced. 9to5Mac reports that the 17-inch MacBook Pro will come in the unibody aluminium design and include a long-life battery pack that is not removable. D’oh!

The 13-inch MacBook should leave the line-up and the MacBook may move to below $1000, a definitely more interesting happenstance in my book. This lines up with the expectations for a new Mac Mini for entry level Apple users.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say there won’t be an iPod refresh this time out.

  • methinks you need to take a hard look at the definition of ‘amazing’…”causing great surprise or sudden wonder” (dictionary.com).

    Maybe try ‘drab’ ‘dull’ ‘flat’ ‘boring’ …

  • Maybe the enclosed battery is a good thing. If it is not user serviceable then i would hope it is not considered a consumable and would therefore be covered under Apple Care extended warrantee. Probably wishful thinking…

  • Why wouldn’t you want the 13 inch macbook to stick around?

    Personally, I like notebooks with 12-13″ screen sizes and so if it leaves and is not replaced by another product, I’ll be a little disappointed.
