New Compact MacBook Pro Coming in 2008

CNBC is reporting that the much-rumored thin and light MacBook Pro will be announced at Macworld next month. The reporter’s inside source says the compact notebook will be about half as thick as current models and feature a solid state drive. The new Macbook Pros will cost about $1,500.

The reporter mistakingly states (we think) the notebook will have a 12-inch display. Based on recent reports of Apple bumping up 13.3.inch display orders, this is unlikely. We expect the new thin MacBook Pro to have a 13.3-inch display.

The “pro” line of Mac notebooks was never rumored to have a solid state drive. The above mentioned is, as we know now, the Macbook Air, which again is NOT the “pro” line of notebooks.

Dan, the MacBook Air does not carry the “pro” designation, but some of this prediction held true. The new MacBook Air does have a solid state drive, is half as thick and does have the aluminum shell of the MacBook Pro line.
