Apple appears to be planning a staggered overhaul of the MacBook Pro lineup, beginning with a slimmed down 15-inch model in coming weeks, followed by the 13-inch, and ultimately the 17-inch by the end of the year, according to the sometimes well-informed AppleInsider Web site.The 15-inch model is tipped to arrive as soon as this month, equipped with Intel’s Core i5 and Core i7 Ivy Bridge processors, and a slimmed down casing like the hot-selling MacBook Air.
Many US resellers this week were out of stock of current 15-inch MacBook Pros, suggesting that Apple is ramping down production before introducing the redesigned line.
