We already know that Apple’s going to refresh their MacBook Pro, and we already know that Intel’s going to announce their Light Peak, and Apple’s going to put them into their new MacBook Pros. What we didn’t know is that Apple has a fancier name for this Light Peak thing. Apparently it’s going to be called ‘Thunderbolt’, which is indeed more striking than simply ‘Light Peak’, but hopefully HTC won’t sue them. According to the USPTO archives, Verizon’s the only tech company with any trademark claim filed for “Thunderbolt”, so we’ll see how this evolves.

Besides knowing the new name for Light Peak, we also have a shot of what seem to be spec sheet of a low end MacBook Pro. What notable are the apparent inclusion of an SDXC card reader and the absence of a discrete GPU chip, indicating that perhaps the new Core i5 integrated graphics from Intel are finally good enough to convince Cupertino to rely on them full time. Then again, the spec sheet that we see here is of an ‘entry level’ MacBook Pro, and insiders say that higher end ones will indeed have discreet GPU chip, probably with Nvidia Optimus Technology too.
