Apple MacBook, MacBook Pro Cases Leaked, Will Use NVIDIA MCP79
"Apple is moving ahead with NVIDIA chipsets for its new MacBooks. There have been a number of rumors swirling around Apple's upcoming notebook refresh scheduled for October 14. The most recent rumor was that the cases for the MacBook and MacBook Pro notebooks would be carved from a single brick of aluminum.
This weekend, however, a fresh round of new information on the new notebooks has leaked onto the web in the form of new pictures from MacX.cn. The site has captured high-quality images of both the 13" MacBook and the 15" MacBook Pro. Both notebooks feature an aluminum body and will have a keyboard reminiscent of the MacBook Air. The notebooks also incorporate a large multi-touch trackpad up front along with a latchless lid.
The latest pictures also show that both the MacBook and MacBook Pro will feature relatively thin profiles and a slot-loading optical drive on the right hand side of the machine.
Perhaps the most interesting new bit of information regarding the new notebooks is the use of the NVIDIA MCP79 platform instead of an Intel chipset. Reports of Apple's switch to NVIDIA chipsets was first rumored back in late July, and those whispers are now turning into rather loud screaming."
