On the other hand, there are two strong trends occurring across all Mac lines: the elimination of optical drives and the migration of hard drives (HDDs) to solid state drives (SSDs), which should also make MacBooks Pro thinner with the time.

Update

O TUAW now claims to be hearing similar information, and bets that this will be an update on the MacBooks line Pro with a new superfine 17 inch model coming through, too. Renovated machines may be launched in time for Christmas.
