Leaked Aluminum MacBook Case?

Okay, I'm not going to bother quoting everything you said Tosser - it takes up way too much space.

Why do I need to look up in the dictionary? You are the one using the relative word, not me. I am saying I want Apple to release a laptop that has a wider screen, but not to cut off any of the height. They can achieve this by releasing a 16" 16:9 model rather than a 15" 16:9 model.

Seriously, you need to stop and take a breath, and accept my views. I want a wider laptop and you are trying so hard to tell me that I'm completely wrong for wanting that!

We sacrificed height when we went from 4:3 to 16:10, so deal with it.

To be honest, I'm not even going to bother arguing with you anymore, your points are just tiresome and meaningless - you are just arguing for the sake of arguing.

Accept it or leave it that all me, and a lot of other people want, is a 16:9 panel that is the same height as the 15" MBP but wider. You are pissing off a lot of people with your stubborn views on why we aren't allowed to want this.

This entire topic is tiresome and meaningless. What a ridiculous thing to argue about. I keep returning to this thread hoping to find new information only to find myself skipping over dozens of threads filled with quotes and meaningless arguments. Turn off your computers and go outside.

Really? a lot of people including my self are getting pissed off with you. Take a look around, no one is agreeing with you. Just stop. If you dont want a macbook or a macbook pro with 16:9 then dont get one. simple.

Newspaper geeks? By mentioning why a news paper page is set up like it's set up, that's talking about "newspaper geeks"? And since when is it "nonsense" to talk about screensize, when the talk is about a new MacBook that _might_ introduce a new (to Apple) ratio?

I STILL would like to see those "horisontal" web pages with useable contents.

You need to use the dictionary, and when you have looked up the relevant words, then reread the last couple of pages.

Nope. I tried - apparantly I failed at the humongous task at hand - to explain how things were, but when you guys refuse to even recognise the word "relative", it really is a steep uphill battle.

LOL, I really don't give a flying [fart] about how many people I piss off. Are you running for school president or some other popularity contest?

See above. Unlike some, I’m not in a popularity contest. Secondly, you just made a plea to popularity, which is a clear logical fallacy. Besides, a couple of people is hardly everyone. Or are you envoking the "silent majority"?

I’m sorry, but as of yet we’re in a thread discussing an as-of-yet unreleased MacBook discussing pros and cons on certain guessed features. And you’re trying to make the argument that any one of us should just wait and then choose when it comes, but otherwise not say a word. Haha, man, you really need to get a grip.

dont you mean horizontal
Click to expand...
Propably. But you really can’t be taken seriously. Although that word is spelled with an ”s” in danish (my country), you really are grasping at straws if that’s all you can come up with. Especially since you aren’t exactly the great speller of all times. You want me to quote some of your misspellings? How about you chose your preferred second or third language, and then we looked for spelling mistakes in that?

No? I wonder why :rolleyes:

One has to wonder, if that's all you can do to try to get out of showing us those "horizontal" web sites. As of yet, you have shown absolutely zilch t back up your claims. Come now. We're still waiting.
 
You've come to the conclusion that I don't understand the world relatively because I want a 16:9 screen?! What logic are you using? You are just attacking forum member's views.

Seriously, I think I'm going to stop arguing. You aren't capable of having a mature arguing at all - you just bring it all down with the immaturity.

I think this thread has run its course and should probably be locked.

Yet another strawman in the long row of strawmen.

No, that's not the reason I have come to that conclusion. I have come to that conclusion because all of you have shown you don't understand the term: Constantly ignoring it, and pretend I never said it. One of you even chose to ignore it in a sentence where it was emphasized with BIG LETTERS.
If you DO understand, then the only other explanation is that you purposely ignore it, because otherwise you wouldn't have an argument.

Sure. You and your buds aren't dragging it down to a very low level, are you? Take a look at your tag team partner Chris, for one.
 
Right seriously stop the strawman crap, it makes it even harder to take you seriously. And you haven't justified how you came to that conclusion at all - I said again that I want a 16:9 screen, and you said I need to look the definition of relatively up in the dictionary. That doesn't make sense at all, because I've never mentioned anything about relatively - that is your opinion.

Again, what argument? I'm arguing that I want a 16:9 display. I really am loosing faith in what you have to say, because you are just going round in circles.

And please don't start generalising me with other forum members...define my argument by what I say, not what others say because they agree with me. I haven't brought this down to an immature level.
 
wow you guys need to get your own thread, or possibly a hotel room and you can caress each other with your rough thoughts all night long.

aluminum case thread, wow, i almost thought it was a screen rez thread.

If that makes you, personally, take me less erious, then it's because you don't know what such a thing is.

And you haven't justified how you came to that conclusion at all - I said again that I want a 16:9 screen, and you said I need to look the definition of relatively up in the dictionary.
Click to expand...
yes, I did. Because you guys constantly PRETEND I say something differently than what I say, MISREPRESENTING what I say, all in order to prove me wrong. The problem is, of course, that the qualifier "RELATIVELY" is UTTERLY ignored by you, and hence you either don't understand the word, or you willfully ignore the term I have used CONSTANTLY and with EMPHASIS.

That doesn't make sense at all, because I've never mentioned anything about relatively
Click to expand...
Sheesh! Of course you haven't used the word! My whole point is that not only have NOT used it, you IGNORE it when OTHER people use it. Look it up, because if you don't understand the term, you cannot understand my argument (which the lot of you have proven).


- that is your opinion.
Click to expand...
Nope. That's not an opinion. That's a fact.

Again, what argument? I'm arguing that I want a 16:9 display. I really am loosing faith in what you have to say, because you are just going round in circles.
Click to expand...
You don't think you perceive me as "going round in circles" because I have to try clarifying something you guys miss constantly? That I'm "going round in circles", because you don't understand what the word "relatively" means? Especially when talking ratios?

And please don't start generalising me with other forum members...define my argument by what I say, not what others say because they agree with me.

I began that way. But after reading you lot's posts, the only difference between you guys is that Chris seems to delight in catching me making spelling mistakes.

I haven't brought this down to an immature level.

Nope, you propably don't. But then again, perhaps the reason for this is that that is not the purpose of breaking up the quotes.

The reason is, of course, that I can address someone's argument point by point, and thus show invalidity if present.

You see, the conclusion of an argument should be based on valid premises. Is it not, then the argument is flawed.
It's quite simple, really. But apparently not simple enough to some.

No, but I think quite a few people will be annoyed at the loss of height.

A 13" 16:9 MacBook with 1366·768, not so much (+2.45%).

Well I for one reported this thread to the admins. Sure I've had a part in it, but I've stopped.

I'm just gonna ignore tosser and any other comment made about 16:9 and 16:10. I think the case has been proven enough for it to be destroyed.

I'm sorry, but I find it rather funny that you claim to have stopped (and even reported the thread), yet you decide to add another paragraph where you continue with your nonsense.
But then again, you've done that before.

You should. PLEASE! I am tired of all these people talking about the screen size. 13" or 13.3"... It really doesn't matter. Lets talk about something more important than that.
 
I for one, do not want to see the macbooks and macbook pros get wider than they already are. That is why I would prefer them to stay in a 16:10 format. On the other hand, if the screen resolution is increased and they are able to drop the price a little by moving to a 16:9 screen, then I will be perfectly happy with it.

Someone on here mentioned that 16:10 is a "silly" aspect ratio and I am curious as to why they would think that? 16:10 as a standard has predated the 16:9 HDTV standard and is approximately the golden ratio.

I readed most of the topic, and did'nt see nor read any arguments that proved the case fake hands down. Could you refresh my mind? (Other then the "Macbook uncentered" or "Apple logo flipped")

they WILL work on the resolution is they do go 16:9. No brainer on that. Plus its not much wider. Take a look at this cnet video

16:10 became standard when widescreen LCD displays for computers came out a few years back. But you will start to see it moving to 16:9 as blu-ray moves to the computer. You just got to know if the resolution is right it wont be any problem.

I was taking about the case for 16:9 & 16:10 screens. The case (meaning the discussion) has been proven enough for it to be destroyed by this argument.

Oh, then sorry. The way I had read your message I thought you were talking about the leak and you were claiming the case fake without any real argument. It just frustrate me when people do that.
 
13.3" MacBook with a 16:9 ratio screen with high resolution, also supported by a dedicated GPU in a case that is slightly thicker than the current one to allow better air flow so there isn't any heat issues. Multi-touch trackpad to finish it off.

That is my ideal computer.
