The 2011 MacBook Pro lineup is no different. All we got two weeks ago were a few pages describing the high level features of the lineup, a short outage on the Mac Store and five new configurations available for sale.Īpple tends to not mix architecture updates and chassis changes.

There was no special press event and no video of an unusually charismatic man on a white background describing the latest features of the systems. It shouldn't come as a surprise that when Apple launched its 2011 MacBook Pro lineup last week that it did so with little fanfare. Granted 20% of $26.7 billion in sales is still $5.3 billion, but the iOS crew gets most of the attention these days. Just looking at iPad and iPhone, that's 56% of Apple's sales.

Just last week Steve returned to introduce the iPad 2 and point out that the majority of Apple's revenue now comes from products that run iOS. Last year at the iPad introduction Steve Jobs announced that Apple is a mobile device company.
