Back to the Mac: No New MacBook Pro in plain sight.

Apple is set to offer sneak peek on its upcoming version of Mac OS codenamed “Lion” on its “Back to the Mac” event this coming Wednesday October 20th, 2010. In addition to what Apple has hinted on its invitations, many speculates that a new MacBook Air will be introduced at the event. Supposed leaked pictures of the upcoming MacBook Air have surfaced. Another products up for refresh are iLife and iWork suites. Apple is likely to introduced iLife ’11 and iWork ’11 at the event. iLife ’11 is likely to feature a never before bundled application to the suite. iWork ’11 is likely to feature the same application bundle with numbers of new features included.

Many also wonders if Apple would refresh the MacBook Pro lines. According to an source within Apple who shall remain anonymous, there will be no real upgrade to the MacBook Pro lines. The 13-inch MacBook Pro might gain Core i5 at best, while its 15-inch and 17-inch counterparts remain virtually the same. Apple is likely to update MacBook Pro lines in early 2011 with Intel’s Sandy Bridge CPU.

We will find out more about the event starting 10:00 AM Cupertino Time on Wednesday October 20th, 2010. Stay tuned for live coverage links and possibly a live stream from Apple.
