They just updated these not long ago, and it was a fairly good upgrade, with better graphics, better screens and a better processor (+ several other upgrades). If they do anything, they might upgrade the processor in January but I wouldn't bet on i…

Hmm... so we're likely just looking at some aesthetic updates and isight? I care more for the screen quality... no updates expected with regard to the screen technology itself?

So has anyone heard any dates that realistic for a refresh? I'm hoping for LED in order to maintain brightness over time... my old Cinema Display is looking dim. I'm not sure if LED's will go that large... they don't even make a 17" MBP LED ye…

While I certainly prefer the matte screens for color accuracy and overall picture, this "headache" business is crap... Anyone who complains about getting headaches from a glossy screen must have never used any desktop computer in the last 25 years.…

I'd absolutely recommend the 15". With the LED technology now in the 15" models the screen is brighter, completely evenly lit and will not lose brightness like the CCFL's still found in the 17". I previously had a 17" MBP and thought I'd miss the …

Either way you're making a sacrifice... I don't know why Apple have to be such bastards about it. The white one will get dirty and ugly no matter what (I have one). You could save yourself the trouble and just get the black one but it costs $200 m…

Why hasn't Apple integrated Mail, iCal, Address Book etc. into one supreme application to not only compete with Office, but make it simpler, sleeker and just plain better like they do with everything else. To this day I'm perplexed why everything i…

Yellow tint? I bought my new 15" MBP with LED and the first thing I did (as I've done with all previous Macs I've purchased) was calibrate the screen in "Displays". The whites are WHITE and everything looks amazing. If you're experiencing somethi…

I do big-screen stuff like graphics work and Logic sessions and I still got the 15" for the LED. I previously had a 17" MBP and a 17" Powerbook, but the noticeably brighter screen that doesn't lose 1/2 it's brightness after a year overcame any doub…

Got mine today! The 15.4" LED 2.4ghz with 256MB nVidia 8600m and all that... The screen is noticeably brighter than my 1 week old MacBook and 6 month old MacBook Pro. It's not ridiculously rich in colour however it seems very true to real life,…
