Here are Marco’s speculations on where the MacBook Pro lineup is going. I think he spot on, especially since his guesses are based on the current MacBook Air.<\/p>\n
These next three paragraphs I wrote back in October when the new MacBook Airs were introduced. They were part of a larger article I drafted after the press release where Apple introduced the Airs, and demoed Lion and the Mac App Store. I never finished the piece and it wasn’t ever published. But, here’s the bit I wrote about the MacBook Airs and how they are the laptops which lead the way for the whole lineup:<\/p>\n
The Air is Apple’s the secret forerunner laptop. Over the past three years it has subtly led the way in many areas of Apple’s laptop design.<\/p>\n
When the Air was introduced in 2008 it was the first laptop to sport the unibody design, the black plastic keyboard, and the wider multi-touch trackpad. And it was the first laptop with an SSD drive as an upgradeable option when purchasing on Apple’s website.<\/p>\n
Now, it’s the first laptop with flash storage as the only<\/em> option. My guess is that flash storage will be the default storage option in the entire MacBook Pro lineup by Summer 2011. I think the performance improvements that flash storage brings to an OS are likely a huge factors for an optimal running environment to OS X 10.7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are Marco’s speculations on where the MacBook Pro lineup is going.
