15/17-Inch MacBook Pro Specs: AMD GPU, Quad Core i7

[rams]

what ****ed up person would build a 5200 rpm disk in such a piece of hardware... oh yes apple that is

 

[ripolini]

any minute now

all stores are down.
hope there still is a big surprise

 

[deputy_doofy]

I have a core duo

Don't feel bad. I still have my Core 2 MBP (2.33). I alternate usage based on which one is charging. On every day tasks, I feel no difference. It's not until I start firing up 50 million apps and playing in GarageBand where I feel the difference (and that's probably more to do with RAM).

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

Tell me about it

and *high fives* for having the same configuration of MBP

 

[3dking]

Apple store down......

hehe.. you beat my by a few seconds^^

 

[aimbdd]

worse gpu...... ?

 

[hoxley]

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.

i hadn't heard that 72 is noisier. significantly?

Quad Core i7,AMD 6750 1GB,1920x1200


BRING.IT.ON!


Ermmm......now?

 

[DocStrange]

not too shabby. count me in.

 

[ulfses]

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

Here's hoping for good graphics option on the high-end 15". What's listed is pretty terrible, may as well still be the 330m. The 17" specs are nice, though.

 

[finnns2000]

Hmm, decisions decisions... 2.0 GHz base huh?

 

[porky]

Why don't they use a higher resolution on the 15" ???

 

[djrod]

i hadn't heard that 72 is noisier. significantly?

For me, it's not noticeable and I hate noise...

 

[papierbox]

i would never build a fast disk, becouse of the noise. and if you want it, you can upgrade. so there is no problem.

 

[CrackedButter]

No IPS I take it, still using TFT screens?

 

[Mr. Retrofire]

i hadn't heard that 72 is noisier. significantly?

Yes, and it consumes more power than a 5200 or 5400 HDD.

 

[papierbox]

becouse for some persons it is enough. and if you want to have more, you can buy it..

 

[deputy_doofy]

It's most likely CTO. My current one is the higher res, but I had to choose it. The 17, if they don't change it, comes with hi-res standard.

Keep in mind these are stock configs, not BTO machines.

They should most def. Be able to match the mba screenresolution on the 13" mbp

bto

I don't feel bad, it still works fine for me ... and has for a long time. WHo knows, in a few years, somebody might want an original core duo 13 inch macbook. I have a 2 year old mini to do the viseo conversions now even though I run audiobook builder on this one. Might look to an ipad when I go to replace it if vnc works well or if apple does a 'back to my mac' app for the ipad.

Agreed. The 17" looks to be the only decent upgrade but thaat's way too much of a machine for me.

I really miss having a Macbook but looks like I'm back to the land of the PCs for my next laptop. Boo.

 

[Kebabselector]

It's Apple. The higher res will be BTO meaning that you can only buy it from them.

 

[littyboy]

Damn quad core.... put my dual core i7 to shame

However.... Still rolling out 256MB graphics (of any kind) on a high priced mbp? seriously apple? thats ridiculous...its 2011... you've been using that ***** for the past 5 years
