Apple leaks clues to upcoming Macbook Pros?

Apple Inc. may have dropped some hints on its new line of MacBook Pro laptops with slight upgrades on its own website, an Apple enthusiast site reported. 9to5mac.com said a search on Apple's online store for "MacBook Pro" will yield a list that includes two "Macbook Pro Memory Model" that may ship in November. Screenshots of the list showed the two mysterious items were included with rechargeable batteries and refurbished MacBook Pros. The site noted the two "products" link to two URLs that are not currently active:

• http://store.apple.com/us/product/ME_17_2_33_MBP?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
• http://store.apple.com/us/product/ME_17_2_4_MBP_PREV?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY

Clicking on the two as of 9 p.m. Wednesday (Manila time) would result in an error message that tells the visitor "The page you're looking for can't be found." But 9to5mac.com said these could be the spare part part numbers for the new MacBook Pros and the 2_33 and 2_4 could be the new speeds of the quad-core Intel Core i7 processors, with the current models running at 2.0 to 2.3 GHz. "If they are spare parts, these often ship a week or so after the new products so the MBPs could come sooner than ‘November,’" it said. — TJD, GMA News
