Apple notebook lines to see major design changes, sources say
By Kasper Jade
Apple Inc.'s existing MacBook and MacBook Pro notebooks will be the last of their breed, as both product families are destined for major design changes upon their next refresh, AppleInsider has learned.苹果现存的Macbook和Macbook Pro笔记本将成为这个家族的最后一代, 因为有消息证明下一代的MB和MBP将会有重大的外壳设计变化.
Of the two, the 13-inch consumer MacBooks will undergo the most significant metamorphosis, shedding their plastic enclosures for ones constructed from more eco-friendly materials such as aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel, people familiar with the matter say.
13英寸的MB将进行一次有史以来最大的"变身",现在的塑料外壳将被一种更加绿色的材料取代,比如制造飞机外壳级别的铝或者不锈钢.
The move, which makes good on a promise by company chief executive Steve Jobs to push towards a "greener Apple," will also mark an end to Macs that come clad in the now tawdry looking white enclosures that began with front face of original iMac nearly a decade ago.
这一步证实了总裁Jobs先前打算推广一个"更绿色的苹果"的承诺, 将结束MB原本的耀眼但质量不好的外壳,而iMac前罩用材一样的材料
Similarly, the MacBook Pro is also bound for aesthetic revisions, which like their upcoming MacBook counterparts are described by those familiar with the products as borrowing several design cues from the August 2007 aluminum iMacs and all-new MacBook Air. The end result, those same people say, will be a more uniform Mac product matrix in terms of design and material usage, and a MacBook offering that will far outclass its rivals.
同样,MBP也将和自己的搭档MB一同进行外壳的更换.选用材料的灵感来自于2007年8月推出的iMacs和MBA. 最终的结果将是一个更加统一的苹果产品系列.
Though precise details are admittedly limited given the ongoing revision process, it's presumed this will include instances of matte black on portions of the casings, oversized trackpads, and the adoption of the MacBook Air's keyboard by the MacBook.
尽管细节还未公布,但相信MB的部分外壳将会是黑色,并且拥有增大面积的触摸板和采用和MBA一样的键盘.
While the footprint of the 13-, 15-, and 17-inch systems will remain largely unchanged, Apple will reportedly be free to perform some trimming around the edges, similar to -- but nowhere near the same magnitude -- as what was accomplished with the MacBook Air, and to a lesser extent, the rear of the aluminum iMacs.
尽管13,15和17寸的系统将不会进行大范围的改变,苹果仍会进行一些一定程度的对外壳设计的修改.不会达到MBA那样革命性的,但也能达到iMacs铝制背部的程度.
