MacBook Pro rumors

MacBook Pro users are loyal to their brand—and if you’ve ever owned one, you understand. These lightweight laptops are indispensable. The minute you get one, you find yourself rushing out to get a variety of MacBook pro covers to protect it from damage—because once your grow to rely on it, you never want to be without it. It’s the same for iPad users, who understand the need to protect their precious devices—there are few tablets purchased without the addition of a premium iPad cover.

Rumors now abound about what’s next for the MacBook series. With Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicking off on June 10, the forecasts and projections are exciting Mac users. For starters, many sources claim that production of the new models will begin right around mid-May.  As you can imagine, this has consumers waiting with baited breath—they’re already picking out their accessories and MacBook Pro covers.

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently issued a report forecasting that the new MacBook models will be based on Intel's latest Haswell processors. And while Kuo’s earlier 2013 predictions suggested that Apple may discontinue the non-Retina MacBook Pro lineup in order to introduce a slimmer Retina line that would also be pricier it looks like that has changed. After analyzing the continued strength of the non-Retina MacBook Pro models, Kuo now believes that production of the non-Retina lineup will continue.

Since the 13” MacBook Pro is currently the most popular product in the MacBook line, it seems that Apple will continue to make the MacBook Pro in addition to the Air and Retina models.  When there is demand, it only make sense to continue offering a product line to loyal customers and potential new ones. 

So while tablet users continue to purchase a premium iPad cover and other accessories for their invaluable iPads, the MacBook users can take a breath—they can still get the low cost, super sleek notebook line that won their hearts in the first place.
