It's not that you need the adaptor....it's that it's not included. One thing that impresses people most about my powerbook (sadly) is that I can just plug it into any TV and the tv…

Looks like a very nice machine. I love my 17" PB, but I think I'd rather have a 13.3" [i/Mac]Book and supplement that with a dedicated desktop -- iMacs are pretty nice these days.

A big laptop that's grown even bigger. No thanks. I'll wait for the 13.3'' whatever.

This thing is about as portable as diesel generator and a 20" iMac... when will we get a thin & light MacBook??

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. 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…
