  • I think that I finally made my decision : Tomorrow (Friday), I'll go to the Apple Store and buy the basic 13" MBP and order it with the 128 GB SSD. I'm just too tired to wait for a refresh, and I don't want to become another "beta tester" for …

    in Apple to use Intel's Sandy Bridge without Nvidia GPUs in new MacBooks Comment by kali December 2010
  • How reliable is that information ? Should I buy the current MBP 13" instead of waiting for something with a less powerfull GPU ? I need a 13" model with a strong GPU. The current 320M is just powerfull enough for my needs, but this is the l…

  • A question : Is it technically possible to match a Core 2 Duo processor and the NVidia 330M GPU in a 13" MBP ?

  • Personally, I find the wait extremely hard. I need a 13" MBP, but I hate the current screen on it (low resolution, glossy with unbearable reflections...). And the HD is too slow for my taste. I have to wait, but my patience is weak

  • In my opinion, the new 13" MBA is too fragile. It will bend and may be damaged after some years of usage (and you can be sure it will happen just after the waranty coverage). This is why I'm not interested in the 13" MBA anymore. It's just not st…
    in Need advice, in a hurry Comment by kali November 2010
  • Well, it's really obvious that the 15" MBP will blow the MBA out of the water (except for disk access). You should take the 15" MBP instead of the MBA. In my case, the 15" is too large. I need something like the 13" MBP. I'm still waiting for …

    in How to trim a movie with QT X ? Comment by kali November 2010
  • Thanks for the reply. You're confirming what I was finding with QT X. But why in hell Apple have "trimed" the QT player itself like that ? Basic editing options should be available to any and all users. This is very disappointing !

    in New MacBook Pro 13" at the horizon ? Comment by kali November 2010
  • Ok, I think I made my mind (not sure yet !). I may end with the current MBP 13" at 2.4 GHz. First, I don't think Apple will update the current 13" before two or three months, at the very least (jan or feb 2011, maybe even later). Second, I don'…

  • I'm in the same boat as you. I need to have a MBP 13" soon, for this winter. I don't know if I should just buy the present 13" MBP, or wait for a new version. The problems with the current 13" MBP are its slow HD and its low resolution screen…

  • The SD card will be completely absorbed : the MBA will crunch it and eat it, and you'll never get the card back, MUHAHAHAAA !
