As you could have heard, the newest rumours to hit the web suggest the MacBook Pro redesign will include a major hardware redesign, which includes far better battery life, instant-on and a super-high-resolution display, and makers will probably do their best to replicate Apple's latest notebook design thanks to the corporation's history of successful innovation.

Naturally, Apple's whole product eco-system is also just as answerable for the approaching changes in our tech habits, and you can disagree that the mobile-computing revolution actually started with the MacBook Air and the iPad. And you would be right, but the Air and iPad doesn't ship with the kind of pony power and capacities that power users seek in a notebook like the MacBook Pro. When Apple can get the pro set to leap on the ultrabook bandwagon that the company started with the Air, then it'll have finally swayed the rest of the masses, not just average purchaser.

There's a good chance this notebook revolution will finally take off this year. That's when the rest of the PC industry will attempt to catch up to Apple's latest notebook designs, similarly to the way in which the industry tried to repeat the MacBook Air after its primary success. And like the industry tried to repeat the features and form factor of the iPad after Apple usurped the tablet industry.

But it is not the rumored features and specs that may change our computing habits. It's the stuff that Apple hasn't narrated, that we haven't heard about yet. Those features will cause some PC makers to bend over making an attempt to produce similar products. Naturally, by the time they'll get those PCs on the market, it will be too late.

That's precisely why the MacBook Pro will change the notebook market. Unless other manufacturers start producing most likely game changing products, Apple may continue to lead the way wtih its innovations and inventions.
