hotness

Re: New Apple Notebooks

looks good but the only thing i didnt like was the fact that instead of 2 firewire ports theres only 1 now

Re: New Apple Notebooks

yeah why do these idiots only think we need one port for Firewire...we need two, at least an 800 and probably a 400 too, as the 400 is more than enough for anyone to really need.

Very nice looking. I see they have a touchpad like the iphone does now for the mouse. Which will take a bit of getting used to.

[QUOTE=miketpoto;662721]Ordered mine through work today too :)[/QUOTE]

ordered it with educational discount :)

although the store has been down for almost 3 hours... quite strange =x

Re: New Apple Notebooks

Are there any changes under the hood? TBH I'm over the aesthetics of the Macbook Pro, it's already so minimal there's not much else they can do to it to wow. I'm still a fan of the all-silver look, not the black bezel (which I never liked on the iMac either) nor the black keys.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

How can you like looking at the 15" screen for documents?

Re: New Apple Notebooks

im waiting for the 17" to be updated before i place my order

Re: New Apple Notebooks

[quote=beanzncheez;662804]How can you like looking at the 15" screen for documents?[/quote]

I do unfortunately, can be a pain sometimes. But most of the time I only need Word and Firefox, and Entourage, RSS or iTunes in the background/minimised. It becomes more of a problem when I use stuff like Photoshop.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

its not the size that matters its the resolution. I can work all day on my old 15inch powerbook. now its even more crisp.. i friggen DO WANT one.

but i need more ram for my mac pro first, oh and two of those nice 24inch LED displays plz.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

Come on Mike, you and I both know that the firewire 400 is way faster than USB 2.0

I like this new computer, thinking of getting my ass one.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

400 is not faster than usb2.

it has less overhead on the chipset, but on spec - paper usb2 is faster. even

i have 400 and 800 on my tower. barely use em

Re: New Apple Notebooks

[QUOTE=|Thrax|;662903]it has less overhead on the chipset, but on spec - paper usb2 is faster. even[/QUOTE]This is why it is faster. On paper it is deemed slower but in the real world, it is a buttload faster than USB 2.0 because of the damn architecture. That's why I've had my IDE drives on FireWire 400 converters for years. Makes things go much, much faster.

But you are saying people have no need for anything faster. Thats gay.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

These new models are more expensive than previous ones??

Re: New Apple Notebooks

yeah, how much do these cost?

Re: New Apple Notebooks

Same prices as the older models.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

No I'm not saying that and don't try putting words in my mouth. I am saying exactly what I said...nothing more, nothing less.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

[quote=miketpoto;663033]Same prices as the older models.[/quote]

isnt it suppose to be cheaper or is the price drop only on the regular macbooks?

Re: New Apple Notebooks

Price drop was only on the plastic case macbooks.

You've got ISSUES

Re: New Apple Notebooks

don't see a reason to upgrade. i've only had my mbp < a year.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

I love my MBP too..Don't see a need....I was under the impression that these new models were going to be "affordable" models that could be marketed to people who want a Mac but can't really afford it...Not to sound like an elitist or anything, but I thought they were doing something good for peeps that wanted to have one...Now, these new ones are the same price....Lame.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

i had a black macbook since last june and have always regretted not going the Pro route... i have been looking forward to this update since february.

finally getting my pro, so i am happy :)

this will last me for at least 2-3 years.

The media and blog world speculated that these models were going to be cheaper., Apple never said anything to suggest that they would be.

Don't blame them for not lowering their prices when they never said they would.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

Not sure what gave me the impression that these were going to be more affordable models...

Re: New Apple Notebooks

[quote=lilsensa;663436]Not sure what gave me the impression that these were going to be more affordable models...[/quote]

All the tech blogs were speculating about it. It gave a lot of people the impression that they were cheaper, and one model actually is.

all these rumor sites and speculation sites are just a huge waste of time.

they all set so high expectations that whatever Apple does, everyone complains for a couple of days after release.... then once they actually get in store and use them, they switch their tune and start hailing them.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

im getting a 2.4ghz macbook by the end of the year, they look great. The only things that arent good are not being able to choose between glossy/matte screen and no firewire support.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

I got my MacBook Pro in the mail today.

I can honestly see why Apple takes so much pride in the construction of these new notebooks because they are just beautiful.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. :)
