Yeah I'm still waiting for the superconductor-electromagnetic cooler flumbo jumbo, so that the nexp MBP will be .01 inches thin and run at Mac Pro speeds.
What is wrong with a wedged shape ?. It is clear that unless they come up with some form of advanced cooling, making things any thinner is going to compromise both performance and battery life. Air cooling is so so low tech, people.
Yeah, and air cooling doesn't leak all over the place as soon as the warranty expires. Something I'm sure a lot of Powermac G5 owners have thought about in the last few years.
I should add to something said earlier in this thread, that the 9600M GT is not exactly a die shrink of the 8700M GT or 8600M GT (although they share all the important specs).
The 9600M GT supposedly shares the same G96 GPU with the desktop 9500GT card. It's sort of like 25% of a G92 GPU. The 9700M GT also uses G96, it's just higher clocked.
One interesting thing to note is that G96 is set for a die shrink to 55nm very soon.
Soon, dammit! I am buying a new laptop in the next month or so and am hoping I can get a new update one but if they keep pushing it back, I will just get the last of the older ones

I'm not sure why Apple would pick the 65nm 9600M GT over the 55nm, 29 watt 9650M GS which is a noticeable amount faster.
I think you are pretty close there. I would not be surprised if the CPU clock rate is a little lower for the cheaper MBP and battery life will not likely go past 6 hours.
Also, they will hopefully include a CUDA-ready (or whatever apple equivalent will be called) NVIDIA video card.
I was right...
1. The new laptops are coming in September. I said this at MacRumors and they flamed me to a crisp saying I was deluded. Now there you have it. MacRumors suck too.
2. They may be coming with a CUDA ready or OpenCL ready MB like I said. I was hoping but not expecting this seeing that snow leopard is not due till next year.
LG Display on Thursday said it has started mass-producing the world's first notebook displays to be truly color-accurate. Using an RGB LED backlight versus the one-color backlights of other notebook displays, the 17.1-inch, 1920x1200 LCD pushes its color reproduction up to 105 percent, or about 40 percent more than a typical notebook display with a fluorescent backlight at the same size. The breakthrough should give AV professionals a display they can use for image editing and gamers a more vivid image, LG says........

Come on Apple get your act together!

Hopefully it's coming August 5th...or 12th...

1. Enclosure to be made of aluminum
2. 2.3GHz and 2.6GHz procesor speeds
3. 2GB RAM standard on all models
4. all modles 14" LED backlit dispaly
5. white models will have white keys, premium black model will have black keys.
(still same scrable tile shape!)
6. shipping with apple remote (made of aluminum)

13. backlit apple logo!
14. magnetic latch
15. NO blu ray or hd dvd
16. smaller box!
look at
http://www.apple.com/environment/
apple themself say that the will stop using palstic in products and will use led displays!
tell me if you think im incorrect (in a nice way!) or if you think i have missed any thing !
Thanks
I'm hoping for the 17.1" panel from LG
Model LG171WU5 1920x1200
8-bit instead of 6-bit
16.7 million colors instead of 256K
RGB LED instead of white LED
