Intel Core i5 MacBook Pro Coming?

Folks who are on the Intel Retail Edge Program have received a promotion via email that indicates that an updated MacBook Pro laptop will be coming along, powered by an Intel Core i5 processor. The current top MacBook Pro sports an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, but with Intel introducing its new Core i3, i5 and i7 chips at CES, it certainly seems possible that the MacBook Pro will be getting a processor upgrade. While Apple’s Jan 26th event has been widely speculated to be about the launch of the iSlate tablet, there is certainly a possibility that a new MacBook Pro lineup will be introduced as well. With that in mind, you’ll certainly want to keep an eye on the news during Jan 26th. We’ll keep you posted.
