More MacBook Pro pics surface as Apple’s event nears

Engadget has posted some last minute leaked MacBook Pro pics, along with some additional insight as to just what Steve will bring us today. The pics follow the cardinal rule of leaked images, they are blurry, and likely from a phone.

Engadget’s sources claim the new MacBook Pro has not one, but two NVIDIA GPUs inside of it. Now that’s some graphics processing power. To detract from the credibility of this statement even further, the sources claim the MacBook and 17 inch MacBook Pro will not be refreshed today.

The post also states that the MacBook Pro does not have Firewire 400 on board, but does have a display connector that is even smaller than a MicroDVI port.

You might want to take note that these images show the MacBook Pro without a trackpad button. This would leave the notebook functioning solely with tapping. The Pro also has a glass covered screen that takes style cues from the iMac.

Both of these images seem convincing, unless there’s a a group of master Photoshop artists plotting against Apple fans. As for the other rumors, I find the dual GPUs a bit hard to swallow, but not nearly as unlikely as the MacBook and 17 inch MacBook Pros not getting refreshed today. Remember, Apple said “The spotlight turns notebooks” on their press invitation for today’s event. That’s plural, and I find it unlikely that Apple would only refresh the 15 inch MacBook Pro and possibly the MacBook Air. We’ll see shortly.
