Apple is having a special media event less than an hour from now, during which it is expected to unveil updated Macs in addition to a new iPad mini. Reported specs for an updated 13-inch MacBook Pro and updated Mac mini were leaked by 9to5Mac this morning.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro is believed to come with the same quad-core Ivy Bridge processor options as the existing 15-inch MacBook Pro. However, SSD storage starts at just 128GB—a value just this side of manageable for users who don't do much imaging or video work. The three standard configurations will reportedly be:

2.3GHz quad-core processor, 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM

2.3GHz quad-core processor, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM

2.6GHz quad-core processor, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM

We expect there will be build-to-order options for up to 16GB of RAM and possibly up to 768GB of SSD flash storage. There is not yet any indication that the 13-inch models will have a discrete GPU.

Additionally, updated Ivy Bridge Mac minis will also be announced, according to 9to5Mac's sources. The entry-level model will have a dual-core 2.5GHz processor, while the higher-end version will have a 2.3GHz quad-core processor. A "server" configuration will come with the 2.3GHz quad-core processor and two 1TB HDDs standard. Unfortunately, Apple appears to be skimping on RAM, with 4GB standard. There is no word on discrete GPU options on the higher-end model, either, like on the existing Sandy Bridge Mac mini.

The standard configurations will reportedly be:

2.5GHz dual-core, 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM

2.3GHz quad-core, 1TB HDD, 4GB RAM

2.3GHz quad-core, 2x 1TB HDD, 4GB of RAM (server)
