Apple Testing ultra-thin 15-inch Mac Book Pro?

It was reported way back in July that Apple was working on a 15-inch Mac Book Pro/Air hybrid. It was indeed supposed to be a Mac Book pro with an ultra-thin design like the Mac Book Air.

Now according to the Japanese website Macotara Apple has finished testing the LCD component of the new machine and would soon move into its production. While Macotara has repote that it will be a Mac Book Air, it is believed that actually it will be the next generation Mac Book Pro.

The new line will however, come without the built-in optical disk drive according to the same source.

“Apple is considered to develop next generation of MacBook Pro which will not have built-in optical-disk drive, then this MBA 15′ test component seems to fill their new drive-less MB line-up.”

It was only last week that Apple quietly brought out 5 new Mac Book Pros with faster processors.

So it seems that we will be witnessing some major design overhaul of the Pro line in 2012!
