Apple opened its annual WWDC conference in Cupertino last night, and to no-one’s surprise has revealed the brand new line of MacBook Pros, as well as a update to the very popular line of MacBook Airs.

The new line of laptops sees the MacBook Pro getting a major facelift. It’s been put in a sandwich press, and a lot of legacy technology has been given the boot. The result is a 0.71 inch thick slab of beautiful aluminium. Gone is FireWire, Ethernet and the optical drive, and the days of a spinning hard drive is gone, with super fast SSDs all throughout.

Number crunching is faster than ever, with a quad-core i7 across all Pros, starting at 2.3 Ghz, up to 2.7 Ghz. RAM starts with 8GB as standard.

But the real cherry on top? A Retina display packing 2880×1800 pixels – that’s a pixel density of 220 ppi. What this means for you as a user is that text is sharper than ever, your computer starts up in less than a minute, and thanks to a new feature called PowerNap, it will update itself while it sleeps.

Pretty cool, no? Better head over to DigiCape and place your pre-order.
