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…

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…

MacBook Pro Core Duo or Merom? — #3

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…

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…

I'm waiting for the next major OS X revision: 10.5 before I get a Macbook... Maybe I'll get a 2-for-1. Will 10.5 be a 64bit OS?
