I wonder how long it will take Apple to drop 15" pricing. Quote: Originally Posted by Stratus Fear For me, there's a point where resolution becomes too much at a certain scree…

i wonder if this will have any of the issues of the 15"mpb: whine heat so on and so on...

guess this means the 13.3" by...june? am holding my breath... (insert "holding-my-breath" smiley here)

At least they list battery life for the MBPs on their site now. 5.5 hours for the 17" seems just a bit optimistic, though... what did they say the 17" PB would get? I didn't think …

but then you go blind from having to stare at tiny pixels all day. My flatmate is the same - he goes for the highest resolution possible. And then can't see anything, not even th…

Come on guys! Apple delivered a new laptop that fixed most of the problems that you were all whining about - too few USBs, no DL DVD burner, no firewire 800. And now you're complai…

For some reason, powerbook will not charge my ipod while it is sleeping. Instead of leaving the computer on for hours, I decided to use the airport express as a charger for the ipo…

I don't think Apple intended you to use the base station to charge the iPod. In any case, it sounds like it's fooling the iPod into always being active, which can't be good for it …

I know you can use the Airport Express to charge an iPod Shuffle with no issues, in fact I am sure I read an Apple KB article about it. Not sure about other iPods though, they may…

Your PowerBook is not charging your iPod when it is asleep because, as per the definition of sleep, no power is being sent to the PowerBook's USB ports. If you truly don't use you…

I just noticed on Appleinsider that Intel will be releasing it's Merom processor the successor to the current Core Duo chip in August. Does anyone know if Merom will be a big leap …

Yea, Intel stated at the most recent Intel Developers Forum (a couple months ago) that the switch from Yonah (current Core Duo) to Merom will improve performance by about 20% at la…

I'd guess battery life would go up a tiny bit. Let's see if I can muster up some logic for this one Ok, so Merom won't be clocked 20% faster than Yonah. Instead, it'll be 20% mo…

Wait if you can. Cycle speeds of Merom are up to 2.33ghz now. Merom will have up to 4MB of L2 cache and be 64 bit. So it's possible that the next generation of MBPs may support m…

Quote: Oh and PS... August is a overestimate... Most current sources agree that Merom will be released in Q3 of this year, and it'll take at least a week or 2 to get the…

Intel recently states Woodcrest in June, Conroe in July, and Merom in August. Right in time for a PowerBook and iMac refresh.

Merom is one thing I'm waiting for before getting a MBP. I also want 802.11n built in. My 867 MHz 12" PB is really showing its age. I've been using it more and more for watching…
