  • A Mobility Radeon HD 2600 (since the desktop equivalent will be called the Radeon HD 2600, I suspect it'll apply to the mobile equivalent), or else a GeForce Go 8600. We know the latter, at the very least, should be ready by May. And AMD (i.e. A…

  • Rogers was obviously weaseling its way out of a definite answer here. They didn't say they wouldn't have the iPhone (not even hinting at a delay), but they didn't commit to it either. In short: they don't want to get people's hopes up too far in…
  • Assuming this is indicative of a line change (and it might not be), I'd be more inclined to suggest that Apple will simply bump the capacities down in price: the 4GB model sells for $149, while the 8GB model sells for $199. Apple may want to leave …

  • My quick call on specs: 17-inch 2GHz 1GB of RAM Intel GMA X3000 graphics DVD/CD-RW Combo drive No Bluetooth or Front Row remote $999 20-inch 2GHz 1GB of RAM 256MB ATI X2600 graphics Superdrive Bluetooth + Front Row $1299 24-inch 2…
  • Again, the MacBook Pro wouldn't stay still. Remember, the current $1499 MacBook has the same 120GB hard drive as its Pro equivalent. If the base MBP gets a larger drive, there's nothing wrong with the high-end MacBook getting the same drive. And …
  • I think you went too far in the other direction -- why would Apple go from hovering around 160-200MHz between the mainstream and pro lines and suddenly jump to a massive 600MHz gap? With optical drives that cost several hundred dollars all by thems…
  • NAB is a prime target this year. If Apple really does go into ultra-high definition video editing (2K, 4K) video at the expo, eight-core Mac Pros could be genuinely useful.

  • I suspect Apple might put in a low-end GPU just to make the 15" MacBook (if it's real) the bridge system they want it to be. I can almost see the specs now (keeping in mind that these are based on CPU and graphics tech we know is coming out): 14…

  • I'm guessing that's why the author put "dishonestly" in front of "backdated," innit? The implication isn't that backdating by itself was wrong, but that the way it was done was wrong. Quote: Originally Posted by Wiggin "whose initial valu…

  • I'm pretty sure the price will remain the same, even if it does cost Apple a bit more at first. The backlight certainly isn't the most expensive component in a notebook. I'm really hoping this makes it to the MacBook line sooner rather than la…
  • I think you're reading too much into that. He was probably pointing out that album art looks good on the screen, full stop - not that this particular album's art was great (although it is, but that's another matter). If you're going to point to …

  • I believe MOSR about as much as I do the tabloid at the grocery store, but even basic dedicated graphics are better than Intel's integrated graphics. It can mean the difference between playing World of Warcraft on low detail versus not playing at a…
