no glossy option
no FW
no s-video/ composite outputit's smart to wait, as it currently looks like the only "PRO" thing about it is the name.

Yep, the lacking FW is totally weird. I guess everything is moving toward USB2 — except for serious video people?
- erikjonsson0
but the new mpb is still not lacking fw

The MacBook Pro does have firewire.

You can find integral Firewire 800 ports on most modern Macs, and these work very well, so if your unused FW800 port is a standard Mac one you should experience no problems plugging in a FW400 device using a suitable bilingual cable.

we decidedd to pick up the prev. gen. maccbook pro off apple refurbs page. $1349.
i don't do any gaming, so the video card boost (along with the new LED screen and single sheet metal case and minimal processor bump) do not justify the extra $650.
I'm glad i waited for the new ones to finally be released to scoop up the older one for a bargain.

it makes me really happy that Apple keep fucking their core consumers... finally it's not just PC users getting it in the rear.

Well, I only see 1 FW800 port (which I already use for my main external drive)
The lack of the FW400 port (which I have now on my computer) means I won't be able to use my video camera when VJ using live feed from the event.
I can always do it, by using a V4
but on top of being $900 I won't be able to run it through my filters on software, and the V4 effects get old in 20 minutes.
How is that crazy?
I have it now, Is not there anymore.

Anxiousarms:
unfortunately, you are correct.
but I think since the launch of the ipod, their core consumer base is much larger now, non pro users find the "trend" attractive and spend the money on the pro computers just to read myspace, and his money is as good as anyone else's to apple.

It happened before when they decided to remove the s-video output as well, of course, now they sell an adaptor that you can plug to convert the signal to s-video, but before it was as easy as plug and go, simplicity. something mac had as a selling advantage from pc.
Is no longer there.
