I don't think FireWire will ever be phased out. It may not be as useful as USB, but its steady rate of data transfer will always make it more viable for working with digital media. However, I do think FireWire 800 will be phased out soon as FireWire 3200 comes to market.
hey calm down,
btw how old are you?
For the firewire, you're right, it's staying
peace
If i remember correctly hes 19.

Well, I don't know if it is legit or not, but I picked this picture off of www.iphonesavior.com
Check out the touch pad. Looks like the screen of an iphone AND you can see the dock in it.
Fake or not, pretty darn cool.

hey maybe if you checked the 15th previous pages, you would have seen that everybody here has seen your pic
Well, IMO what signifies a professional machine is that you can configure the hell out of it to fit your needs. To name but a few examples...digitalbiker said:
- On a 15.4" Dell Precision, you can choose between 1280x768, 1440x900, 1680x1050 and 1920x1200(!) screens. On a 15.4" MacBook Pro, you get 1440x900 that's it.
- On aforementioned Dell, you can get a regular 7200 RPM hard drive, or one with a free fall sensor (for people who work in computer-unfriendly environments), or a 64 GB SSD. On the MBP you get a standard 7200 RPM drive. And for a very long time you could only get a 5400 RPM drive, long after the 7200 RPM drives were commonplace in PC notebooks.
- On the Dell, you can add 3G/HSDPA broadband. On the Mac... not.
- On the Dell, you can add a fingerprint reader for security purposes. On the Mac... not.
- On the Dell, you can choose between a 6- cell or a 9-cell battery (mobility vs. battery life). You can even add a secondary 6-cell battery (goes in the modular bay). And an extra 9-cell on top of that. On the Mac, you get... well, a battery.
- For the Dell, you can add a desktop stand/dock/port replicator which gives you 4 additional USB ports, full sized DVI port etc. The Mac only comes naked.
Apple's rigid 'one size fits all' approach doesn't strike me as sensitive to the individual needs of professionals.
Excited!
A major redesign of the notebooks? Bring it on!
It'd be smart if Apple standardizes their DVI ports, so multiple MB/MBP/MBA/Mini owners will only have to lug around one set (here in the Philippines, I could buy a decent pair of football (FIFA, not NFL) shoes for the price of a VGA to Mini DVI adapter). If micro-DVI doesn't pose any output quality problems or issues (Dual-link support), then they should standardize everything with micro-DVI.
Expects:
LED displays on all notebooks.
2GB RAM for entry-level MacBook?
Multi-touch on the MacBook (a truly innovative plus-point to OS X).
No more combo drives?
Better graphics for both notebooks (probably X4500 for MB and 9600 for MBP).
Side-note: Apple needs to refresh or redesign the Mac Mini too.

It may be a stupid questions but any help would be appreciated:
When a new model of a apple comp (macbook in my case) comes out, what will happen to the older stock? What do they normally do with them, do they sell them at a cheaper price? What is the deal?
I am not so sure I like the look of aluminium and really like the current black plastic macbook. I am waiting until the new model comes out in the hope that either a) I will actually love the new model and it will be worth buying OR b) The previous black macbooks will have dropped in price enough to validate buying one of them over the new model.
What generally happens in these situations????
Thanks
Anybody know?????????
Thanks!
Don't listen to that guy
ok he doesn't know a word he's saying
Because when people do mockups, they take it from an existing model(wich come from Apple) and add or remove parts.
Well, if it would have been a fake, the guy that photoshopped it would have taken a macbook air, made it thicker, and add stuff so the perspective would have been good.
So yeah, i still think its the real deal
You wanna prove a rumor by using another rumor?
yes and no. if you think about it, if the screen does turn out to be 16:9, that would be some concrete proof that this is real. the reason i say this is because 1. that would take some incredible photoshop skills and 2. i doubt the person who "made" this would have taken the time to include such precise measurements.
so whoever wants to do some measurements in photoshop, go for it.
one other thing to note is that the table it is on is TYPICAL of the wood tables found in ALL Apple stores and I'm guessing potentially at Apple HQ as well.
You can usually buy the previous models refurbed at a fraction of the original price.
They always sell out all of their previous models, so you can't expect to find a non-refurb.
It's 16:10. Which, again, proves nothing since this blatantly obvious fake is more warped than a Salvador Dali painting...
yea, I guess that really doesnt prove anything...oh well. I wasnt aware that current lineups use 16:!0
