File this under “its about time.” Â AppleInsider is reporting from “reliable” sources that redesigned MacBooks and MacBook Pros will be surfacing middle of October. Â I’m ready to upgrade my trusty Powerbook for a nice shiny MacBook Pro. Â I have been holding out for a redesign. Â The design has largely stayed the same through the Intel transition and even after the introduction of Leopard. Â For Pro users, the redesign is way overdue. Â
Engadget is showcasing a supposed redesign photo of the new hardware, which sports curves like the 3G iPhone, iMac and MacBook Air. Â It also shows a suspect glass trackpad with the dock integrated. Â I’m not sure how likely that will happen, but the overall look of this example would be a nice update – with the curved sides and the black glass outline around the LCD.
