As someone who only recently bought a Mac, I have been a great fan of Windows for many years. Windows 95 was a breakthrough product that democratized computer ownership. Before its arrival Macs were very expensive and often beyond the reach of ordin…

BrettInLJ, Superb post. I understand your frustration completely. in response, I would say four things: 1. Yes, new MacBook designs are well overdue - but only as far as we technogeeks are concerned. The vast majority of Apple customers have n…

If the special event is just a refresh of the existing iPod range with a cursory makeover, then why even bother with a special event? Steve Jobs is a busy man and I doubt he would make time to hold a special event if it is no more than a routine…

From everything i've read, the new Montevina chipset is going to dramatically improve video playback as well as speeding up the system. Revised MBAs should be comparable to existing MacBooks. Anyone care to comment on that? BTW, I have now bought…

Well, i guess we owe you an apology Tailpipe. You were right about redesigned MacBook Pros and and an aluminum macBook - you just got the timing wrong. I for one can't wait to see the new MacBook Pro. I think it is going to be an amazing machine…

From everything i've read on this and other websites that seek to predict Apple's next moves, i think the product transition will consist of the following: New MacBook Pros (possibly including a 13" version) New MacBooks (sold at a sub-$1,000 price…

I wonder if shiny new MacBook Pros and MacBooks will also create queues at Apple retail stores?

I'm no expert, but I looked at the Air quite carefully before deciding not to buy it. There were two reasons that put me off:The 64 Gb SSD simply isn't enough memory, especially if you have a large iTunes library or like to store hi res images o…

I don't know why you're making such a fuss. I just bought a brand new 20" iMac and it totally rocks. With this and an iPhone I don't need a laptop. Then there is the brilliant MacBook Air, which has barely been on sale 6 months. Yes, I know it is…

The Montevina / Centrino 2 launch has been a pretty low-key event, not least because the chipset is only available with third-party GPUs. That means no new MacBook is possible until the real deal Centrino 2 arrives in August. Any new Mac before then…

Wizard 69 / Dave, Thank you for your considered response. Very interesting. You're absolutely right about the Air and iTunes being incompatible because of the Air's limited disk space. I am presently using an iMac with 320 Gb hard drive and a…

So, finally, the new MacBook Pro is no longer a figment of rumor-merchants' imaginations. It's real. Hooray! At last! A lighter version than the existing model? Design styling cues taken from the MacBook Air including the black backlit keyb…

I couldn't wait any longer so just bought a 20" iMac and am delighted with it. That said, if a new MacBook Pro does put in an appearance, my kids are going to get an unexpected present and I shall get me one. Apple's design seems to be getting be…

This is great news and shows just how fast SSD technology is maturing. Personally, I'm waiting for a 256 GB SSD drive to arrive before I put the Air on my shopping list. Sorry, but even 128 Gbs doesn't cut it as far as I'm concerned, especially …

I see a lot of threads suggesting that Apple needs to put a Blu-Ray player in the next MacBook Pro. I'm not sure I agree. I sure as hell think that new MBPs need a hi-res LED screen capable of displaying 1080p. I want to be able to hi-def download m…

As someone hotly anticipating a new MacBook Pro, I note that Appleinsider seldom gets it completely wrong when it suggests something new is on the horizon. This thread follows such a story which reported that the next upgrades to the MBP and MB rang…

An SSD option is an interesting point. If a 128 Gb or 160 Gb drive is available for the same cost as a 64 Gb drive in the MacBook Air, i.e. $1,000, would people go for it? A MacBook Pro costing well north of $3,000 is starting to look mighty …
