Apple's Beats brand in April unveiled the Powerbeats Pro, a redesigned wire-free version of its popular fitness-oriented Powerbeats earbuds.
Ivy Bridge Quad-Core Desktop and Mobile Processors Reportedly Launching on April 29
CPU World reports that Intel will be introducing a number of its new Ivy Bridge processors for desktop and mobile systems during the week of April 22-28, with availability set for April 29. The date had previously been cited as the launch for quad-core desktop chips, but the latest rumors indicate that several quad-core mobile chips will be making their debuts at the same time.
Ivy Bridge chips scheduled for April 29 launch
The new chips launching on April 29 seem to give Apple a number of options for upgrading its higher-end Mac lineup, including the iMac and MacBook Pro. But lower-power chips suitable for the MacBook Air will not arrive until June 3 based on the claimed timetable.
Ivy Bridge chips scheduled for June 3 launch
The June 3 launch will bring a significant expansion of availability for mobile computers, adding six dual-core mobile Core i5 and Core i7 processors and a pair of ultra-low voltage dual-core chips. Lower-end Core i3 chips are scheduled to follow in the third quarter of the year.

Ivy Bridge processors will be announced in the 4th week of April, between April 22 and April 28. The announcement will include only quad-core models: mobile Core i7 and Core i7 Extreme families, desktop Core i7, Core i5-3570K, i5-3570T, i5-3550, i5-3550S, i5-3450 and i5-3450S. The announced chips will be available for sale on April 29, and the reviews and benchmarks should be published on the same day.On the MacBook Pro side, the Core i7-3720QM and 3820QM chips appearing on April 29 would appear to be the natural successors to the processors found in the current high-end 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models. Apple is, however, reportedly slimming down its 13-inch and 15-inch models, and it is unclear how those design changes will impact the company's selection of processors in the smaller models.

Take a look at how much space the optical drive takes. It's the same size as the logic board! Think of what apple could do with that, both accounting for thermal needs AND a thinner design.
Move the HDD up to the top, fill the entire bottom area with battery. Make it thinner, too. Everything's wonderful. Shut up and take my money.
EDIT: (oh god, please don't take my Ethernet or FireWire. just do a thin-like taper from the current thickness down towards the front)

I'd love a new Mac Pro....
You are not alone my friend. I keep coming back to MR with a hopeful heart. But sad to say, instead of thinking about me Tim is farting around China. What about me and my needs Tim - Cook me a MAC PRO!!

Anti-glare options across the line would also be great.
Including the iMac. The bigger the screen, the harder it is to avoid any reflections.

Dear Lord...
Please Remind Them Each And Every Day
As I Stare At The Calendar And Pray
For A Mac Pro With The Fastest CPU
And A Thunderbolt Port If Not Two
That To Forsake The Pro Line Of The Mac
Would Be Like Choking On Some Bad Crack
In The Business Way Of Course Do I Speak
Less Options Makes The Future Look Bleak
And If You Foresee Only Doom And Dread
And A Mac Pro That Is Buried And Dead
Then Let Them Offer Their OS On A PC
A Hackintosh Is A Last Resort For Me

No sale for me if it does have ODD. The small minority of people who need ODD can purchase an external drive.
