  • Mine had started acting up a couple of weeks ago and yesterday finally died altogether. Nothing will fix it. I've reset the PRAM, put it in to sleep, formatted and reinstalled 10.4 and 10.5 and nothing. At least when Microsoft releases an updat…

  • I'm very excited about the 8600M news. I've been using a 15" Dell notebook for years and I think 1680x1050 is the sweet spot of resolution on a 15". It's the one thing I'll miss from my Dell.
  • The new MBP is getting ninja star shooters?!? I have to go update my blog!
  • the only thing I really want out of a mbp is a new video card. Hopefully a nvidia card, a GF8 would be nice but a 7 series would suffice. EDIT: Something I just thought about. Apple is big on h.264. Rumors were flying earlier this year that A…

  • I highly doubt there will be any subsidy from AT&T. They make their money on the service, not the phones and if they were to suddenly find themselves with hundreds of thousands of users taking up time slots on their cells for free they would no…

  • He's talking about making the laptop more open to Windows users. Firewire is almost non-existent in the PC world (comapred to Apple at least). I don't want to go out and buy a new firewire enclosure. Yes, my MBP will run Windows 90% of the time…
  • I don't care as much about the processor bump as I do a new video card, LED-backlighting and hopefully a higher-resolution. I'm getting a macbook pro through a service so it cost me a tad under a hundred bucks and i just sent my voucher in friday…
  • I'm almost certain of it. I have a friend who does retail training for Intel. He was called by his boss while I was hanging at his place yesterday, and was told that Best Buy had received Santa Rosa MacBook Pros in that day. In other words, I…
