    [Herb Sevush] “Wait, I thought Apple never leaks anything?”

    They’ve done controlled leaks before and it may become even more common post Jobs.

    [Herb Sevush] “And no hint about a new Mac Pro. Can we say R.I P.?”

    It’s been clear for some time. Given they haven’t pulled the 2010 MacPro there may be a replacement. It won’t be a MacPro though. Don’t confuse MacPro with Xeon based systems. There may be another something to replace it. There might be a clue at WWDC in June which is when the MBPs are coming.

    [Craig Seeman] “Don’t confuse MacPro with Xeon based systems.”

    Mac Pro = large Ram (32-64 GB)
    PCIe 16 Lane slots
    Multiple / Selectable / Powerful GPU and CPU configurations.

    Doesn’t matter what it looks like or how they get there, if it can do the work I will consider it a Mac Pro.

    I agree Herb.
    What you want pretty much matches what I hope for as well.

    Is there any mention in this last round of MBP rumors, whether they will offer traditional drives, or will it be SSD only?

    Craig sorry for the almost duplicate post I made announcing NVIDIA returning to the MacBook Pro. Your source indicates it is possible. The sources in my post indicated it’s going to happen. Still I wouldn’t have posted if I had read all of your post first!

    The rumour is at least SSD to assist with booting the computer. Perhaps in the high-e d configuration, the only drive(s) will be SSD and another option would be the hybrid boot assist plus a larger hard disk drive. Removing the optical drive gives them room to add something. I’m very curious if they will abandon their hard-wired graphics daughter card for a removable plug-in card in the MacBook Pro and the iMac Pro.
