Meh, I don't know whether to buy the last generation this year to replace my sisters janky VAIO from 2004, stick with this version or just hold off until my senior year...
- well, as new ones are out...that should make the old version, drop in price. good if you need one.akrokdesign

absolutely retarded taking FW off the macbooks ? what was the point in that ?
also the 'pro' tag doesn't mean much now does it ? extra inches and firewire and express card ? hahaha.

The company I work for just bought me the old 17 inch MBPro, and its pretty nice. Just a laptop at the end of the day, bit big but fits in the bag just. Once you open the internet or photoshop it's all the same...

they didnt take FW off, just 400.. but you can run 400 thru a 800.. so no drama
unless of course you want both- both is better, but i guess its ok.akrokdesign

processor etc are basically the same
which is great bc i had my MBP for over a year, and its basically up to date

because they didn't up date the 17" and have left that and the lower spec white Macbook in the line up, i can't help thinking that anyone who buys one now will get stung.
of course they will do a 17" pro and of course they will drop the white Macbook, and when they do the prices of the new models will drop to accommodate replacement models etc...
it's just a question of when.

It's funny how in the old days when new gear premiered threads like that were full of order announcements.
I think the top spec older machines will keep their price, especially matte ones.

Well I'm getting a NEW MacBook Pro and my Missus a MacBook.
You're all a bunch of moaning women... would do you expect? the moon on a stick with a "Matt" screen.

I quite like it, think it looks good. I don't like the price and I don't like that they're using Ives as a corporate actor, but I guess apple is going more middle of the road to appeal to the masses.

mnp for me, 15", 17 is prob too big for me anyway.

why the hell does the LED display only work with laptops when it matches the imac so well?

I'm not a fan of the chicklet keys, not digging the gloss screen too much either - need to see it in the flesh though.
I'll be having one regardless however. It was written in the prophecies.
