So you even believe they left out the port because ot the margins...Apple marketing strategy at it's best. Do you know how much the prices for harddrives, RAM, CPUs etc. dropped since the last Macbooks were introduced? Apple still gives us only 160…

so far the macbook had that feature

I use an expresscard sd-hc card reader...as Apple still denies to include a card reader. And...woohooo guess where I put my simcard for UMTS when I'm on the road?

Uh..ah...ok...so you're not allowed to run a imaging software on a Macbook, right? I can tell you want kind of idiot would install Photoshop on a Macbook. It's all the idiots who don't want to lug around 2,5 Kg all day when they're out shooting, wet…

I don't like Steve Ballmer, but this time he was right - leaving out features like FW and Blue-Ray is simply a way to get a higher margins. And support mainly consists of "better buy a new machine". Thank you. Maybe at Apple they got scared that…

I guess the FW port on the MBP couldn't be left out because there was not enough space left to leave it out!! Right, if you dump an outdated standard...provide us with the new standard. I mean...when DVI was left out we luckily got a display por…

yeah, sad but true. Too much success in a short period of time seems to destroy certain brain cells in the heads of the affected people

Seems to me that a significant number of Apple buyers are the kind of people who find it more comfortable to follow a dictator and justify his actions instead of using their own brain. That's not meant to be rude, it's just what happens in this …

To me it's ok to show one's snob-attitude by using Apple products (This is would some university studies revealed). But there are also people out there who just use Apple because it's easier and more comfortable to get things done with theses mac…

BTW...the "old" FW enabled us to use 2,5" harddrives without further power supply, and most cool NEW audio interfaces as well as video equipment uses FW

What is very disappointing to me is that the only difference between MB and MBP now is the missing FW port. Now it's the MBP and MBP Mini...and...the old COOL TIMELESS design Macbook So when do we get the "pro version" of the MB - including FW?
-
One more thing: The new MBP is a bit wider and deeper in dimensions then the old one. Weight is the same. Is that progress? The Macbook at 2 Kg lost a bit of weight. And looks like the MBP...it should be a small MBP. So there's only the mi…

Right...with all the discussions about the glossy display (which sucks IMO), we all forgot to mention the other hardware specs...which are....leaving the design things aside...mor than dissapointing. I mean...there's a better graphics CPU which comb…
-
Right. By adding a resumee: At home using a desktop display NOBODY needs a glossy display. What do you think why I have to pay 2000 bucks for a true color Eizo display?

it's kind of the same C2D processor. So it's a downgrade. No matter if it got a faster graphics chip. First processor downgrade in history
