  • According to this reply, it's lousy T9600. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthre...=1#post7804957 PWNed
  • I vote for T9600. Reasons? 1. Typical Apple customer doesn't give a damm which CPU model works in his Macbook. 2. T9600 is cheaper 3. T9600 was in previous BTO model. Why bothering with another CPU when nobody cares? 4. With 1.5Gbit SATA, stic…

  • Quote: Originally Posted by s.metcalf So the 2.8 is still only 25W? Can someone confirm? Would it be that Apple just upped the clock rate from the 2.66 or would it be a new processor from Intel? I notice that the original 15" processors were 2.…
  • As I told, 75 Wh is maximum for 15" MBP.

  • Unless they upgrade battery with considerably larger one and put adequate P-series CPU instead of T's, all these so-called memory and HD "upgrades" will be a sick joke and not worth even mentioning. (I suppose you didn't mean 256mb PB22-J's as po…

  • I really hope Apple to completely move from T9x00 series to P9x00. Most powerful P9700 (2.8Ghz) has 25W TDP compared to T9900's (3.06Ghz) 35W. This kind of CPU upgrade combined with cooler chipset/IGP may help to promote new MBP's as power efficie…
  • AFAIR, 2.5" 7200rpm drives are only up to 320Gb
