I sure hope the screen opens wider than the 15" MBP. I took the 15" MBP back because the screen faced my chest while it was on my lap. Unfortunately I don't see any indication it w…
I wonder how long it will take Apple to drop 15" pricing.

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…

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…

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…
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…
