MacBook Pro Photo, No Physical Trackpad Buttons

MacRumors · Oct 13, 2008, 11:17 PM

Engadget posts two photos of what appears to be the new MacBook Pro. The new Macbook Pro has a black bezel similar to the iMac. Also, of note is that there are no mouse buttons on the MacBook Pro trackpad.

Quote:

...that "metal and glass" enclosure now houses an NVIDIA GPU, but no FireWire 400, and video-out is apparently through a connector "more compact" than MicroDVI.

There are said to be two NVIDIA GPUs inside, indicating both integrated and discrete graphics chipsets.

Looks hideous. No mouse buttons? What are they thinking?

mattwolfmatt · Oct 13, 2008, 11:20 PM

Glass trackpad: sweet!

I have the most recent MBP: I almost never use my button either. I always "click" using the tap on the pad.

freebooter · Oct 13, 2008, 11:20 PM

Uh-oh. I smell mandatory glossy screen coming...

phil83 · Oct 13, 2008, 11:20 PM

Can't see a click button for the mouse or a power button

iToaster · Oct 13, 2008, 11:20 PM

Other than the glossy screen and buttonless mouse, I like it... though the bezel does look a little thick to me.

Wow. I feel the value of my Penryn Macbook Pro steadily increase.

They call that a *pro* machine??? You've gotta be kidding. If Steve Jobs thinks this will fly in the pro market, there is absolutely *no* way. Glossy screen ≠ pro-worthy. Besides that, the tapered edges look icky, and the lack of a true DVI or HDMI port would be a major pain for most... those stupid dongles are quite annoying.

This is gonna take a while to get used to...

billystlyes · Oct 13, 2008, 11:21 PM

Glossy screen = epic fail for me. I better grab one of the old models.

shoebobs · Oct 13, 2008, 11:21 PM

If it is only glossy, looks like my first ever Mac will be one of the old MBPs

(I'll gamble with the faulty GPU)

Twilight Elk · Oct 13, 2008, 11:21 PM

Ya, I'm not digging this picture. I hope this is fake, but hey. I'll take what I can get.

Watabou · Oct 13, 2008, 11:21 PM

wtf is all i have to say.

I love my penryn MBP. Thanks but no thanks apple.

staccato83 · Oct 13, 2008, 11:21 PM

Not sure if I like that black bezel or not. I do like that the top appears tapered though.

sukanas · Oct 13, 2008, 11:22 PM

in the second pic, it looks like its a macbook, not a macbook pro

radian23 · Oct 13, 2008, 11:22 PM

Wow that looks almost as good as an HP.

Ayria · Oct 13, 2008, 11:22 PM

I prefer my current Macbook pro thanks for the fish...

deannnnn · Oct 13, 2008, 11:22 PM

I like the way it looks... but no mouse button!?!
Huuuuge turn off.

amac4me · Oct 13, 2008, 11:22 PM

I like it but the blurry photo makes me somewhat skeptical.

Berzerker · Oct 13, 2008, 11:22 PM

There IS a trackpad button. It's just hardly visible buy the angle you're looking at it.

alexandr · Oct 13, 2008, 11:22 PM

they better ****ing have an option to not get the glossy screen. they already ****ed me with the imacs, they better not with the MBP. what's next? glossy cinema displays???

kjs862 · Oct 13, 2008, 11:23 PM

Don't like it.

Yankees 4 Life · Oct 13, 2008, 11:23 PM
