Appleinsider claims that Apple will be releasing their 17" MacBook Pro at the National Association of Broadcasters conference next week.
The NAB Conference takes place between April 22-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Last year, Apple announced Final Cut Pro 5, Motion 2, SoundTrack Pro and DVD Pro 4 HD.
The new 17" MacBook Pro is said to be similar in form factor to the current 15" MacBook Pro but offer faster speeds, more storage, and, of course, a 17" display.
There are also hints that Final Cut Pro 6.0 could be sighted as well as potential updates to Apple's other Pro applications. Finally, the 13.3" MacBook is said to have been pushed to "next month". Update: ThinkSecret agrees that a 17" MacBook Pro is coming at NAB.
