The new pictures of the MBP on the Apple website do not show a mini-display port. How do you set up an external monitor???

Thunderbolt doubles as an external display port.

I haven't seen any benchmarks yet, but I would imagine the 6750M is going to be better than the 330M for gaming.Apple is claiming that the graphics update for 6750M are significantly (2.8x - 3.1x) faster than previous models. Here is the fine print [link]:
How does this jive with previous comments that the graphics update is at best the same as, or even, "worse than" the 330M?
What exactly you will use lightpeak for??? There is "zero" products out there. HDDs are not fast enough to fully take advantage of the bandwidth, so what is left?
not sure if i really need/want 1680-by-1050 on a 15 rather than just the standard 1440 by 900 pixels ????. pretty sure on anti-glare. guess i will just have to get down to a store and look.
you guys whine and complain about dual cores.... now that you get quad cores you whine and complain about battery lifewhat did you expect? honestly... wow.
High res is still an option.
Since when is 7 hours not good battery life? My 2009 MBP gets about an hour![]()

Both of these were released January 4, 2011, not sure how tried and true that is, and if you think that is, then there are like 10 better AMD's released the same day they could have used.
You want a high-res, see to believe.
I'm still in shock that the 13" PRO didnt get a display upgrade, and the macbook air got the upgrade back in november. incredibly sad![]()
How do these releases typically work? Here are my questions if someone could kindly help me out.
1.) Are these new models typically available on launch day? (aka can I walk into the Apple store or Best Buy and buy one TODAY.
2.) What do they do with the old models? I think these prices are ridiculous for the 15's and 17's...do they lower the prices on the old ones? Maybe I'll pick up a loaded 15'' 2010 model if so.
Bump for question from people who've been in the Apple game (my last was the Powerbook G4)
soon as the store is open i will let you know...![]()
i don't know what to get now, i need a machine and was planning on a 13" pro with upgraded screen.
The 7200rpm drive I put into my macbook lasted for 3 days. A slight bump was enough to damage it permanently. I think that to stick to 5200rpm is not a bad choice in a laptop. Desktop is, of course, a different story.
ulfses said:No way you would hear difference between 5400 - 7200, and correct me if im wrong, but i believe the MBP already had 7200.
They should most def. be able to match the MBA screenresolution on the 13" MBP

Does noone else think Apple aren't just being conservative with their battery life estimates?
Everyone moans when they don't get 10 hours on their MBPs - this could just be a tactical move (plus taking a bit off for the speed increase...)
