Quote: The ODD's throughput is pathetic. It's slow to write and it's painfully slow to read. It's noisy, it's power-hungry,... And takes up a ship load of space.

Very disappointed the MBP 13" did not get a screen res upgrade (to 1440 x 900, same as the 13" Air). I can understand that Apple might have made a hard business decision to limit competition with the Air. But it would have been nice to at least ha…

Quote: and it's hard for me to see a 15" pro which won't really be any more than 1440 x 900 - and therefore not 1080p capable like many 15" Win machines The 15" range really needs to go to 1080 as the base res, with all the 13" ra…

One possibility of that pricing is that the J30 & 31 models could be upgrades to the internals (including screen) of the current form 13 & 15" MBP, with the D2 models being premium retina MBA versions of 15". The J11 & 13 models would …

Quote: The screens DisplaySearch says are available that would be ideal for Apple's next-generation MacBook Pros are a 15.4-inch panel with a resolution of 2,880 by 1,800 pixels, or 220 pixels per inch, and a 13.3-inch screen with a resolu…

I seriously doubt Apple will be putting dual HDDs in any portable machine. Much more likely they will offer various combinations of separate SSD and HDD drives for the new MBPs.

Quote: Just two years from now, in 2014, Apple will be able to introduce a Mac Mini faster than today's entry-level Mac Pro. We live in interesting times.

Semi-gloss screens without a glass front panel, like in the Air, are a pretty good compromise. I have compared the 13" Air and MBP screens side by side in a number of stores, and the Air screen is much more useable than the glass panelled MBP in med…

I'd buy this 13" Pro: - No ODD. - Modified Air form (slightly thicker to fit a HDD). - Ivy bridge with integrated GPU, dual-core. - No discrete GPU. - 4 GB RAM, 8 GB option. - Blade form SSD bay with 128/256 GB drive. - HDD bay with 500/750…

First post. No IT expert, just a long time Mac user, with a bit of electronics in the distant past. Will be upgrading from my comp (2007 iMac) in the middle of the year, so pretty interested in the looming upgrades from Apple, especially how it effe…
