According to a pair of purported Best Buy inventory system screenshots, Apple could refresh its MacBook and MacBook Pro notebooks on Friday, March 11, 9to5Mac reports. At least that's when Best Buy is expecting to put them on store shelves, meaning you should probably expect a formal announcement from Apple a few days earlier. The updated computers are expected to run the latest Sandy Bridge chips, the publication asserted:

According to the Best Buy inventory system, the new MacBook Pro line will feature an $1199 model, which is the base price for the current 13 inch MacBook Pro. This indicates that the up coming refresh will probably lack a price change.

Additionally, If CNET's report from December is any indication, 2011 MacBooks may sport a new processor graphics from Intel, breaking the Cupertino's reliance on graphics chips from Nvidia.
