I think your point of view is interesting but incorrect. The limiting factor affecting how thin the MacBook Pro can become is not so much the size of the chipset but the thickness of the required ports. It is unlikely that a MacBook...
I am hearing that very few mainstream Penryn processor machines have shipped yet. Still Penryn supply does not yet appear to be optimised. WTF? Anyone else have info on this. If this is true, then it may mean that MBPs WILL not...
These are good observations about the design issues. Thank you. I think you're right, Ireland. Scope to make the MacBook Pro thinner is limited. I don't think they'll get it below 20-22 mm. But they should find 2 mm in the lid,...
