By leaving out the Firewire on the base Macbook, Apple has left themself enough of a gap to introduce a true 13" Macbook Pro, with Firewire and the 9600gt, for approx $1799 if they so choose.

Then, they have another baby-step between the top Macbook and the bottom Macbook Pro. The 1280x800 resolution will still turn off a lot of the Pro's who will go for the larger ones, and they get to charge a premium over the lesser Macbook because of the Firewire.

What do you think?

i dont think it will happen ... if they were going to introduce some notebook in the next 8 months ... it would have been on the 14th ... it just pathetic that they left it out, and made me not buy it.
