Given the reports of the excessive dissipated heat of the MB, you might want to rethink adding yet another heat source. There might be thermal reasons why they don't offer a 7200rpm drive...

All in all, I definitely agree that too much discussion is being put into the GPU in the MacBook. If somebody decides they need something better, the option exists in the MBP. For me, I think the MB is a perfect progression from my iBook G4 that…

That makes sense... whatever resolution you're trying to us above and beyond the physical resolution of the display is going to be scaled. This generally means a (possibly major) reduction in picture quality. For example, most text will become il…

FWIW, the Sceptre X37SV-Naga LCD/TV has native 1920x1080 resolution and has been receiving praise. http://www.sceptre.com/Products/LCD/...X37SV-Naga.htm Not very expensive either for what it is... See AVSForum for more info, user comments, …

Quote: Originally posted by G_Warren I only use iPhoto out of all the iLife apps, but the new version is great - better editing tools and definitely faster. Same here... no complaints about the upgrade cost for the actual benefits. iPhoto i…
