I'm typing this on a new 13" Macbook in an Apple store. I was looking forward to buying an MBP but I'm not gonna bother. I'll maybe get a 12" PB off ebay and trick it out the best I can til something with a screen I can look at comes along. T…

It'd be interesting to know what percentage of Apple's MBP and MB sales are genuine pro users. If the glossy/firewire combo of changes seriously disrupts sales I'd imagine the 17" MBP will either be matte or have a matte option when it emerges in…

The wait is definitely depressing. Because I was hoping for a redesign or a smaller, fully functional MBP (not the Air!), i put off buying last year and now I've been waiting over a year. My problem, but still annoying. A potential problem f…

What's the betting people will wait til August and then we'll get another cr*p speed bump. Bored and looking for something better. There comes a point where this stuff starts feeling like spousal abuse. The love's worn too thin to last.

Excuse my cynicism but one or more speculative 'semi-insiders' (ie: guessmasters like the rest of us) have been predicting a big redesign of the MBP for, ooh, 2 or 3 years now. Instead, every few months we've had an underwhelming speed bump or what…

What about a soft keyboard built into a Wacom-type panel where the keyboard currently is? Something you can draw on with a stylus or use as a conventional keyboard - all without touching the screen at all? Now that would be cool.
