MacBook Delays? Next Tuesday?

[mark88]

They've dropped the 1.83 MacBook Pro too.

Yes, MBP prices are much cheaper too. Base 2.0Ghz model is only £1,399.00

[macpastor]

They've dropped the 1.83 MacBook Pro too.

Will they offer a refund for all the people who got a 1.83 for the same price you can get a 2.0 now?????

[Multimedia]

Bravo - Way Faster Than Anyone Predicted and 1280 wide x 800 high. Excellent! :eek: :)

DVI Out - Gigabit Ethernet. Man this is one hell of a Yonah winner!! :D

$150 Premium For Black Model. :rolleyes: :(

120 GB HD in White is $1549

120 GB HD in Black is $1699

First Aluminum Fall 2003 15" PowerBooks are 1280 x 854. Pretty good 12" PB replacement.

Still looking for Spanning capability? Anyone find that yet?

[Rootman]

Optical audio.

[longsilver]

The White 2.0GHz is €1319 and you can upgrade the HD from 60G to 80G for €50.

The Black 2.0GHz is €1519 - does that mean you're effectively paying €150 for the black case??

Does the Black version have other upgrades?

[jimN]

the 1.8 MBP has been dropped!

[IscariotJ]

Has anyone noticed that a glossy screen is now an option on the MBP? Can't remember if that was there before.

[batwalrus]

The new black macbook starts at 1499 while best white is 1299, only difference aside from color is 60gb vs 80gb. I can't imagine that it is worth it what do others think? I love the black macbook pro though, but won't pay more for it

[netdog]

White MacBook 2.0, 2GB, 80 GB drive, + AppleCare on the way! 3-5 days!

[MIDI_EVIL]

The 15'' MBP comes at 2.0 Core Duo as standard now!

Rich.

[macpastor]

I am not complaining, only wondering... Have they fixed the issue of scuffs and scratches with these. I want the black, I just don't want it looking like crap in a week.

[mark88]

hmm, you're right. Sweet, glossy screens are great IMO.

The only thing that worries me about the macbook is the material its made of, and whether it's gonna be scratch-o-rama

[MacQuest]

2 GHz... runs faster than the MBP 1.83!

No more 1.83Ghz 15" MBP.

The lower end MBP just got bumped to 2.0Ghz!

[Chundles]

Glossy screens..... damn. Glossy screens suck big ones.

But, I still want one. Maybe the 2.0GHz white model will show less glare on the screen than the black.

I dunno.

[Leesure]

Jumping into the deep end with both feet. White. 2.0 CoreDuo, 1 gig ram, 80 gig hd.

[aswitcher]

I wonder if the iMacs will get a glossary screen option next time...mmmm....

[monkeyandy]

LOL! You T*****rs to all those peeps who laughed at me when I suggested that the low end might be white and the high end black! Shove that in your pipe and smoke it! :D :cool:

[smitten78]

About to purchase..but am wondering, is Apple Care really worth it? I have the plan for my iMac Intel. Didn't want to spend too much on my portable - it's mostly for school. Any advice? Thanks!

Don't buy it at first, you can buy it any time within your first year. That way you can decide later!

[longsilver]

If it can do desktop/video mirroring, can I take it that it will do so while closed? (Am I right in thinking that the iBook couldn't?)

[Cedd]

Just ordered the black Macbook with 1gb. The black costs more but it looks so good...

Education discount and free Applecare!

Veh veh happy...

Roll on Macbook...

:)

Thanks! I didn't know I had a year. Off to buy... a white one! Screw the extra $ for the black one. Plus, my iMac is white and I like to color coordinate..

[Wellander]

Hi,
Since it happned I would say that we an close this thread.

[MacQuest]

Plus, my iMac is white and I like to color coordinate..

No one has noticed that the iMacs are now available in black also!!!

Just kidding!!!

I know. I suck.

MacBooks look great in both white and black though. :)

It can span up to 23" Cinema HD Display, full resolution.

[mark88]

I prefer white too.

Blacks shows dust, White shows dirt. Alu is the best choice.

This page,

http://www.apple.com/macbook/accessories.html

comes up as not found (although it's linked to from here:
http://www.apple.com/macbook/frontrow.html). The link relates to cables needed for connecting the MB to a TV.

I guess there must be a few minor bits of kit still to come.

Hope everyone is ready to start moaning about lack of teleport facilities / inclusion of integrated graphics...

:cool:


I take it back - evidently it can (nearly) do teleportation:

"Next best thing to teleportation

Make short work of long distance when you video chat with friends and family over the Internet using your built-in iSight. Simply launch iChat AV, then click the video icon of a buddy to turn on iSight, and you’re good to go. Without going anywhere at all."

:rolleyes:

can Aperture run on MacBook? :confused:

[longsilver]

can Aperture run on MacBook? :confused:

It's not (yet) listed on the Aperture tech specs page (http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs.html), anyway.

The integrated graphics might be the real problem, and you'd probably need to up the standard memory at least. They have dropped the price on the 15" 2.0GHz MBP so that might be a more realistic option now.

does boot camp run on the macbook
:confused:

[crees!]

does boot camp run on the macbook
:confused:
Why wouldn't it?

[PJJames]

I checked out the macbooks the other day at my apple store...theyre amazing. I'm definatly getting a black on as soon as I can sell my powerbook.

[netdog]

Hope everyone is ready to start moaning about lack of teleport facilities ...

:cool:

That will be introduced with the Space Camp beta in June, and will run on all Intel Macs.

[borschsvadorsch]

Get this... I called apple to cancel my order yesterday because it was taking so long to ship...

I explained to the agent on the phone that I figured, why not just go pick one up at the apple store? They've got plenty in stock... He promptly offered me the option of cancelling the order, or getting a $60 discount for waiting! Very cool. You can guess which option I chose.

If you call and the agent isn't so generous off the bat, make a little stink and I'm sure they will accomodate. I imagine the agents have been pre-authorized to give discounts...:)
