[tann]

huh is this me or the 15" has the same resolution as the 13" MBA ???

 

[papierbox]

uh... quad cores... i din't thought this will happen... nice... so the ssd only optional?

 

[ulfses]

...

5400 hdd? what happened to 7200rpm?

 

[phobic99]

A 256MB AMD 6490...

Guess I'm waiting until the NEXT refresh. *cry*

Quad core i7? Nice. Now I'm stuck with this lowly dual core i7 MBP.

the same as now.. the better display will be an upgrade, so no problem...

5400 hdd? what happened to 7200rpm?

Not everyone wants to hear the extra noise. Get it from aftermarket for 50 bucks if you really want one.

5400 hdd? what happened to 7200rpm?

7200 has always been a BTO

MBP CPUs

Hey guys, check out the significance of these chips here;

I'll update for new graphics chips.

It's actually quite significant that they're using these quad core chips, they're actually blummin' amazing!

5400 hdd? what happened to 7200rpm?

7200rpm is an optional upgrade on current MBPs so probably will be on these too.

But what about the 16gb SSD thing?

 

[opeter]

Hmmm ... so what is the low Macbook specs? i3, i5?
Because that is, what the Mac mini will get in the future.

Quad cores....nice. I did not know they had a thermal design that would fit.

Disappointing on the 15 inch MBP screen, they really should have made the 'high res' standard. Its an embarrassment to have that screen resolution (1440x900) on such a computer in 2011.

I have a core duo

 

[GadgetAddict]

Quad core... The gap between laptops and desktops is closing.

 

[bobbleheadbob]

Next question: how much?

 

[KENTW]

Apple store down......

 

[3dking]

Yo guys!!! The Applestore is down

 

[iTabone]

I really can't believe that my internal clock told me to wake up now even though I have no school today!

 

[jmpnop]

1. 1440x900 res. screen by default - Seriously needs a bump.
2. 256MB dedicated graphics memory - Are you serious?
3. 5400RPM HDD - 7200RPM should've been there but it'd make more noise. So, okay.

Battery life?
