I was in the Robina Store today, after there was the report showing the specs. Couple of people were talking to the staff about buying a Pro. Seriously tempted to interrupt and tell them that they were making a HUGE mistake. But I didn't.
There's gonna be one unhappy family with an outdated MBP tomorrow...
The Geforce GT335M is slightly better than the GT330M. Almost 3000 at 3DMark Vantage and 7000 at 3DMark 06, it's actually usable for playing decent games during the upcoming year
I don't see them listed, but I hope the White Macbook and Macbook Air get updates as well. I'd like to see the White macbook get an SD slot and the Macbook Air to get an SD slot as well, 4GB ram and a new trackpad(it still has the old separate click button style).
Other than that, I'm psyched to see the new line up.
But THREE different types of Glossy Screens? Glossy. Glossy Hi-Res and Glossy Anti Glare? Is this a way to gouge people out of more money? Why not just make them ALL hi res and anti glare? And if they HAVE to be separate, why not just lump the Hi-Res and Anti-Glare together? I dunno how i feel about this. I wish it was just a choice of Glossy and non Glossy. Isn't that what most people complained about, that they missed the non glossy displays? Why give people THREE types of glossy choices, and NO non glossy? LOL.
Not that I can afford one right now, but I'm always interested in laptops. That high resolution screen has me wodering about how it became non reflective. I'm think it is still a glass panel but with an anti reflective coating on the glass. Done right this should keep image quality up without the reflections.

Everyone's taking a moment to catch their breath and let it all sink in.
Holy crap those GPUs suck !
And yet, these too will sell in record numbers.
(Unless of course everyone decides to get an iPad instead.)
my 17" MBP has a dual core 2.8....
how is this an update. because the bus speed is improved?
