2008 MacBook Pro concept
The MacBook Pro is due for a re-design, this much we know. But is this the new professional notebook from Apple?
The MacBook Pro is due for a re-design, this much we know. But is this the new professional notebook from Apple?
The picture above surfaced in an a Digg submission purportedly of a "new ad" (a version also appeared on NeoWin) and is hosted on an anonymous pictures hosting site, so I wouldn't hold my breath. But it does resemble some pics that were posted on MacRumors forums thread earlier this month.Some people find the more rounded MBP design to look cheap, but I like it. I'd like it more if it shipped with a Blu-Ray drive though.
The conventional wisdom is that the MBP update will be released on 16 September 2008. The logic is that it's the Tuesday right after Apple's current Back-to-School promotion ends and it falls within the third quarter when Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer alluded to a "product transition."

Update: As clindhartsen noted in the TalkBack the "ad" is actually a concept created by halfwayglad on DeviantArt...
