Limited stocks corroborate rumors of an update on MacBooks Pro

Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu today released a note to his customers stating that MacBook Pro stocks are down, indicating that an update could be announced soon by Apple. The long-awaited new line has had “strong chances” of being launched at the opening of Macworld 2010.

According to the analyst, the incorporation of chips Arrandale from Intel (Core i3, i5 and i7) in the new laptops contribute a lot to differentiate the MacBooks Pro from other competitors, in addition to the MacBooks themselves.

Shaw is waiting for the new MBPs in the quarter ending in March (later than June, which is very unlikely, given the average cycle of updating these machines). Its "Buy" rating for Apple shares was maintained, with a target price of $ 253.
