MacBook Pro 2011 - New MacBook Pro Coming in April 2011 With MacBook Air Features? The next-gen MacBook Pro generation will arrive in April 2011 with new features on board and a new overall design, all similar to the new MacBook Air notebooks unveiled by Apple this fall.

The mid-2011 MacBook Pro laptops are said to move from HDD to SSD storage, with up to 512GB solid state drive available on launch, and the new machines are also said to come without DVD support, just like the MacBook Airs. One of the most interesting features of these new MacBook Pro laptops will be the introduction of Light Peak.

In case you don’t know what Light Peak is then we’ll point you to this little article we wrote over a year ago for more details, but basically Light Peak is a new technology, an universal connector, that will kick USB 3.0’s ass when it comes to transfer speeds. The new connector is expected to offer up to 10Gbps speeds, which will be a remarkable milestone for computers.

 Developed by Intel this new technology will surely come to other computers and devices in the near future and it will definitely not be an Apple-only feature although it will probably be an Apple exclusive at the beginning. Pairing Light Peak with a solid state drive will deliver some impressive results when it comes to transferring large files or streaming audio and video files and we can’t wait to see this particular duo in action.
