If Apple make this announcement by the end of the month as the main rumors are saying, it should be an interesting year for their fans. The company has been moving in a strange direction with some of their products lately, and it’s about time to see them going back to their roots and reminding their fans who they are.
It does seem like Apple are more interested in the mobile market at the moment though, but this doesn’t have to be a bad thing for the MacBook Pro. If the new model inherits some features from its tablet “brothers”, this could be an interesting addition to the MacBook line.
The rumor about an extra touchscreen display on the device actually seem to confirm that to some extent, so we’re definitely curious to see what Apple have been working on behind their doors all this time.
If this is just another regular upgrade to the MacBook Pro line, some fans might be a bit disappointed. The biggest complaint against Apple recently has been about the lack of innovation in their developments. It’s definitely noticeable that they don’t seem to be putting as much effort into coming up with new ideas as before, and this could be a good way to get back on the right track.
In any case, we’ll find out in a few weeks whether or not the rumors are true. If there is no announcement by the end of this year though, fans will likely have even greater expectations for the new MacBook Pro once it arrives.
