So, is this the new Macbook Pro:

It appears it could well be. Rumored specs are:

Two NVIDIA GPUs in SLI (9600M GT) in 15″ Macbook Pro
Button-less Trackpad with Multitouch (think iPhone)

Also there are rumors of refresh to Macbook and Macbook Air. Macbook is rumored to be aluminum with either 2.0GHz, 2Gb ram, 160Gb hard disk and 2.4GHz CPU, 2GB ram and 250Gb hard disk options. The Macbook Air will have the same 1.6GHz CPU as before but with the option of either 120GB hard disk or 128GB SSD. Both the Macbook & Macbook Air are rumored to include NVIDIA 9400M GPU.

The current model Macbook white will be cut in price to around £399.

Keynote kicks off at 6pm UK time (10am San Francisco) with live coverage provided by various Apple fansites.
