The supposed thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display will reportedly enter the market by September according to an analyst from KGI Securities. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst from KGI Securities, the smaller-sized and reasonably-priced version of the MacBook Pro will become available for potential buyers in the near future.

In an investors note, Kuo indicated that the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display will be an appealing option for laptop buyers who may opt for a better display compared to the 13-inch model that does not feature the retina display.

The small form factor as well as its low power consumption will increase the appeal of the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display to consumers. The thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display will reportedly feature a similar price tag as the model that does not feature a retina display.

However there are some speculations that the supply of the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display may not find it easy to keep up with the demand for the device. The fifteen-inch model of the device is currently experiencing some delays due to limitations on the supply of the panels as well as other components for the display. But it should be noted that the waiting time for the fifteen-inch model of the device is gradually going down although a similar issue may be experienced by the upcoming thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

September may turn out to be quite a busy month for the company since the iPhone 5, next-generation iPod Touch and the iPad Mini may be launched in the same month as the availability of the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

Reports on an upcoming line of MacBook Pro devices have emerged in recent weeks and a recently leaked image reportedly shows a supposed image of an upcoming thirteen-inch MacBook Pro.

According to Weiphone, a website based in China, the image supposedly came from an employee of Apple in the United States. The image of the supposed thirteen-inch MacBook Pro was received by the website along with some details of the upcoming device. Most of the modifications were minor although the upcoming device will reportedly come with a dual-core 2.5GHz Core i5 processor from Intel. This is an upgrade from the 2.4GHz processor of the previous model of the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro.

Apart from the upgraded processor, the upcoming model of the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro will still feature the same RAM, internal storage, and a SuperDrive optical drive. The upcoming device will feature a Thunderbolt port although it will also feature a pair of USB 3.0 ports instead of the present USB 2.0 ports that are found on the current model of the device.

The leaked image also hinted at the possibility that he upcoming thirteen-inch MacBook Pro will feature support for Bluetooth 4.0.

Earlier reports have hinted at the possibility that new models of the MacBook will be introduced by Apple during the Worldwide Developers Conference.

Previous claims have pointed at the possibility that the MacBook Pro will feature new designs with some reports hinting at slimmer devices that feature Flash memory and a retina display. However basing on the leaked images, the thirteen-inch MacBook Pro devices will not come with these features.

For the moment, Apple has yet to make an official announcement on the possible products that the company will be introducing during the WWDC including an upcoming new line of MacBook Pro devices. No statements were released by Apple on the supposed leak image of the upcoming thirteen-inch MacBook Pro.
