New MacBook Pros To Sport Light Peak Technology

An anonymous reader writes "Over the past few years, Apple has systematically upgraded the base level MacBook to a level where the difference between the Pro and consumer models were arguably becoming negligible. That's about to change. Apple will reportedly introduce a completely re-designed MacBook Pro this April that will borrow features from the recently released MacBook Air. The new Pros will reportedly come with an SSD and Light Peak technology, a transfer protocol capable of 10 Gbps both up and down. Light Peak, jointly developed by Intel and Apple, will reportedly be an Apple exclusive at first."

Fantastic

Apple customers will subsidize the adoption of this technology, so I can buy a similar laptop in 6 mos for much cheaper.

Thank you Steven Q Jobs! :)

Why do you want to plug your kid into a cable? And just which type do you use?

An umbilical serial bus cord, obviously.

My macbook runs OSX. Which means that beneath the covers it runs a variant of BSD linux.

Get out. Turn in your geek card at the door, hang your head in shame and leave.
