MacBook Pro, Air and Mac Pro Refresh Coming Soon [RUMOR]

If these Australian Apple ads are any indication, a hardware refresh may be coming soon for at least the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and Mac Pro lines. The official-looking ads show higher pricing than what the Australian online store actually lists when you click through them, suggesting that the ads represent an early look at what the pricing will be for the refreshed hardware lines. Similar pricing inconsistencies were found within Apple’s own New Zealand site, lending credence to the theory that a hardware refresh — and accompanying price change — might be on the way in the near near future. We’ve also seen hints flying around recently that Apple is working on a processor upgrade for its Mac lines to Intel Core i5 and Core i7 chips.

Lenovo ThinkPad W701 hints at Core i7 Extreme in FCC reveal

Lenovo can't be feeling too much warmth toward the FCC right now. After Intel and Wistron combined to remove any mystery from its next IdeaPad , here comes the latter with yet another filing revealing yet more tasty morsels of knowledge. Wistron 's latest submission is for a "Notebook Computer with Wacom Digitizer," which immediately points us toward the high-end ThinkPad W series,with the W700 being the only Lenovo laptop to sport such an appendage so far. Reassuringly, the new model name appears to be W701 and we've spotted a 2GHz Intel CPU, 320GB Fujitsu HDD, and a Samsung-made 17-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) display in amongst the test specs. If your appetite hasn't been titillated already, the only contemporary mobile CPU from Intel that we know to run at a default speed of 2GHz is the quad-core Core i7-920XM , which comes with 8MB of L3 cache, 3.2GHz single-core max speed, 55W TDP, and a truly stratospheric price.
