Ahhhhhhhh...some rumors about something non iOS, Macbook rumors

In line with previous rumors, the machine is said to include a "Retina" display, a development that has been rumored for some time and for which evidence has been showing up in builds of OS X Lion and Mountain Lion. According to the report's source, OS X will simply offer a set of resolution quality options for the new machine ("such as big, small, or optimal"winking smiley to allow users taking advantage of this new "HiDPI" support to select their desired combination of sharpness and resolution.

The report indicates that the USB ports on the new MacBook Pro will support USB 3.0, a feature some had questioned whether Apple would adopt given the move to Thunderbolt connectivity. But last September it was reported that Apple was still considering support USB 3.0 alongside Thunderbolt, and that appears to be the route the company has taken as Thunderbolt peripherals have been rather slow to roll out in many cases. A fresh report from Digitimes also claims that Genesys Logic has won a contract to supply USB 3.0 chips for a forthcoming MacBook Air revision, and it seems likely that such compatibility would also be coming to the MacBook Pro.

I'd be happy to see USB 3, and a lighter no-optical 15"

I just got a new iPad and have pretty much decided I'm probably not going to buy a new laptop when my current one dies. Pretty much everything I've used the laptop for can be done on the iPad.

This is something I'd like to have, but I'm realistic to know that my C2Duo MBP still spends most of its time waiting for me.

But if this were to arrive before July, I'd probably order it.

New MBP here also . . . A new iMac would be great. Mine is currently 2 years old and has 1 year remaining
with AppleCare. Easy to sell or maybe even give to some needy friends. Lets see what June 11 brings us *(:>*

I've got a black MB as well, and my newest iMac is a 24" AlMac.

Of the two I'd like to replace the BMB first, and a Retina screen would really tempt me, along with the backlit keyboard.

I don't really need to upgrade the iMac, but an LED, 27" version would be very nice.
