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…

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…
