The Apple Store just went down, and many pundits believe that when it reopens later today, the virtual shelves will be chock full of new Macs. Just ahead of WWDC 2012, a few specs have leaked out on exactly what we might expect.
9to5Mac is reporting that yes, Virginia, Apple will release a new Mac Pro during the WWDC 2012 keynote on Monday, which kicks off at 10am PST. However, instead of the four models the website previously reported, Cupertino apparently has pared it back to only a trio of versions.
The new Mac Pro configurations anticipated include two regular configurations clocked at 3.2GHz quad-core (with 6GB RAM) or 2.4GHz 12-core (with 12GB RAM), both with a 1TB hard drive and ATI Radeon 5770 graphics. A server configuration will also be available with 3.2GHz quad-core processor, 8GB RAM and two 1TB hard drives.
Apple is also expected to push out spec bumps for the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro, with two models for each. What about those swanky new slim MacBook Pros with Retina Display? 9to5Mac is still holding onto the dream and won’t stop believing that new models will be introduced in addition the spec bumps.
The 13.3-inch model will be available as 2.5GHz dual core with 4GB RAM and 500GB hard drive or 2.9GHz dual core with 8GB RAM and 750GB hard drive, while the 15.4-inch spec bump should feature a 2.3GHz quad-core processor with 4GB RAM and 500GB hard drive or 2.6GHz quad-core processor with 8GB RAM and 750GB hard drive.
An updated AirPort Express and external USB SuperDrive are also said to be on deck, with the former likely to be rebranded to be less MacBook Air specific, assuming those swankier, thinner MacBook Pro models live up to expectations and ditch the internal SuperDrive.
Finally, the website also claims Apple may “refresh their MagSafe connector/adapter and sell new adapters and converters between new and old MagSafes” as well as offer a new “Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter.”
