Naw, it was definitely where to stick the second FW800 port and the second internal HDD.
That, or what to do about getting a WiMax card as BTO for it.
No, it's not called adapting, it's called personal preference. I have experience using both. I still prefer matte.
Not everyone is you which is why we want the option, not just one thing forced on everyone. Then we can all be happy and stop bickering.
I couldn't wait for the 17" mbp unibody to come out. So I ended up with a 15". Nonetheless, it has been a great machine. Give it another 6 months to a year.
All I can say is what I was told by the people in the store, One of the Assistant managers I know said the usual, "We know NOTHING" He sounded like Schultz from Hogans Hero's (Guess I am showing my age on that one) But I am holding out till January at a minimum and see what happens. I was looking at Expercom.com because they ship with bigger than stock HD's but I am not sure if that hose's the warranty or if I have to go back and forth between them for repairs. In all I'll probably just get it from the apple store, after I stop down and play with the new one for a while.
There have been no rumors or postings about a new MBP 17" that have any validity to them.
Sit back and wait is all we can do.
Colonel Klink isnt going to be very happy with you
Still, there is no current generation 17" macbook pro

Like I said all we can do is Hurry up and wait. I am tossing around the idea of going with an iMac 24" if they do not come out with a decent upgrade to the 17" MBP. But I like the portability.
I say get what you need now. If you don't want the 17" until it's officially redesigned then grab that beautiful 24" iMac.
I am very happy I picked mine up during the last gen given the wait some will have now.
Well eahh, i hope they do not continue the new designs (but do not expect so). Especially the new black keyboard and the black bezel are particularly extremely ugly.
I´d like to see a unibody MBP 17" with the terific silver keyboard and the small-bezel display.
9600M-GT is ok, Quad-Core (2.8/3.0 GHz) would be nice, but are unlikely...
Again in short: Please, please, omit the black components
If Apple does, i seriously consider getting one of the current MBPs (my eyes are worth it )

If u like the way the 17's are now, just buy one. It seems like thats what u want. I, myself, want it to be updated to the black keyboard and glass screen.

You think Apple will have the 15" series looking one way, and the 17" completely different?
Not going to happen.
Nope, i don´t think so (as stated above). I just HOPE they omit the ugly black components (come on, Cupertino - the top-of-the-line product deserves some differentiation
).But i agree, it´s not likely
He just said it's also being refreshed - I took that to refer to the extra RAM and bigger HD being offered of the existing design. There has been no official word from Apple that a 17 inch unibody is coming.
There should be a bump, as Intel is updating some CPUs in Q1 2009. The 2.8 GHz one will go up to 2.93 GHz, not sure about the other ones, but if the 2.53 gets the update, then it'll go to 2.67 GHz.
A bit optimistic if you ask me.
I'd say 2.67 GHz (or whatever CPU Intel has in the price range of the current 2.53 GHz) as default, with the 2.93 GHz as BTO.
A laptop can do more than a Blu-ray player?
Source?
No it isn't, when the original 17" MacBook Pro came out 3 months after the 15"'s.
Huh? My point is the "why would you want a portable Blu Ray player" is ludicrous. You want it for the same reason you want a laptop to begin with, or a cell phone, or an iPod, or a Playstation Portable, or a...
