Here in France, with the EU 'tax', the new Macbooks, and indeed Macbook Pros do *not* look like a good deal at all For me, the Alu is a deal breaker, as it kills wireless reception, and overall, the specs in comparison to other brands are just n…

Well, the machines have potential and appeal for sure, but no way am I buying one for the moment... in 1 year maybe. They finally get all the bugs out of the current architecture and how it relates to OS X etc, and they jump ship again to anothe…

I will be *seriously* shocked if Apple firstly have invested in their own factory, it just makes very little financial sense at the moment in the face of the the current economic state of the world. Outsourcing is the way to go in terms of economies…

Just looked at the pictures in this thread and I am absolutely *shocked*. From that I saw, Steve looked like he should be anywhere apart from on that stage. The last time I saw detailed pictures of a Keynote was in 2005/2006, and the contrast to…

I am not sure of the MB/MBP distinction becoming blurred, but the fact that Apple has no dedicated graphics in the MB line is imho dreadful, as well as the fact there is no 'lower' 15 Inch laptop... 13 Inch MBP with a dedicated gfx setup? 13 …

As I said before, in this thread, I too think it is time for a change in a lot of ways. I've bought and used most of the Apple Laptops for the last 15 years or so, and think that the current MBP's have got a stage where they feel stagnant. All my la…

I too am so fed up of the current design. It seems since the TiBook, I have upgraded to the very same machine, and each time I upgrade I get less of a 'Wow!' factor, to the point now that I am looking at other machines, if only for the variation…

Very interesting, and long overdue. My last, and current MBP's have really put me off, but this article seems to indicate that the areas that have caused me so many issues my finally be looked at. Here's hoping... Interesting times.

/Sigh This really is getting to be a bind now. Combined with the fact that my MBP has just unexpectedly met with a glass of wine, it would be typical that it may be May for an update.

I think the MBP does need a redisgn now, it is getting on in age, although the original design was so good it is still doing its job well. However, I can't see a major redesign happening without a full 'show' announcement, be it WWDC or Macworld…

I hate the Alu on my MBP, so fragile, and way, way too hot.

I am in the market for a Macbook to replace a Rev A MBP... I am hoping they don't go Alu! The plastic is so much more durable and rugged! I am just hoping for a decent gpu, and a backlit keyboard... now I have said it, I bet we'll get the total o…

He forgot to tape over all the important ports too, and seal over the battery cover...

Better hope it sells well, or there may not even be a Rev B

I think it really effects sales now. I know I have not bought lots of items because of this... I know that were it not for the huge markup on Macbooks, I'd be using one for my scond machine at the moment, and my family would have bought 3+. Inste…
