2012 Macbook Pro Redesign

[PVisitors]

The dollars price is reasonable for me.

Whether that converts to £££ as reasonable is a different thing entirely...

USD conversion is £1400. So I suspect it will be £1800 with our VAT/Apple international prices. At least.

$2199 doesn't sound awful, what does the 15 inch start at currently in dollars?

I believe $1799.

I'm assuming about £1800... ouch

I'm assuming about £1800... ouch

My thoughts exactly. Roughly the same as the 17" MBP at the minute?

At least. Now I am pissed LOL

This is exactly what I wanted in the update but from a price standpoint I just pray the RAM & SSD are replaceable. I'm not paying $500 extra for 16GB RAM.

Looks like both the RAM and storage are soldered onto the motherboard...

Thank the heavens I am going to America in July.

Will cost me just over £1400. Shipped via Amazon to Hotel.

I imagine it will be £1800 - £2000 in the UK.

Haha, i bet you Liquinn is crying right now. The wait has finally paid off!

Please get the store online Apple so I can cry when I see the GBP price.

Back to square 1 in my decision making now. Air has better resolution and way slimmer which will be crucial given the amount of books I have to carry and all the weight I can slim off, then better, but soldered 4gb. Pro has sucky resolution but ability to put 16gb and a better SSD in.

Does the new 13" macbook pro have soldered on HDD/RAM?

Not really. Atleast I've still got the latest Mini, Thunderbolt Display and Touch

Info on how to desolder?

If that is true... No MBP for me... I'm saddened

 

[Marrakas]

Does the new 13" macbook pro have soldered on HDD/RAM?

I think so. Theres a reason it's so thin

 

[parish]

My thoughts exactly. Roughly the same as the 17" MBP at the minute?

Current 17" starts at £2099

 

[dutchnewbie]

oops made a major mistake my budhet just covers the $1799 15" MBP as it's in The Netherlands €1749 pfff stupid apple almost just replaced the $ with an € grrrr

 

[aeboi]

There is no next gen 13" so no, the HDD and ram are still user-replaceable

 

[r3dm4lcz]

Current 17" starts at £2099

That's pretty brutal. Student discount still 15% right?

... thank god for my girlfriend if so.

 

[Flobber88]

Does the new 13" macbook pro have soldered on HDD/RAM?

No, the old style MacBook Pros 13 and 15'' are user replaceable for both.

 

[XX55XX]

If that is true... No MBP for me... I'm saddened

At least they are generous with the initial configuration. 8GB RAM, 256GB of flash... That is quite generous, but for the price of $2199, it should have been 16GB and 512GB standard.

 

[Vexed]

Any guess as to how much education pricing will knock off of the next gen pro?

 

[aeboi]

what is that? a fake stig?

 

[dutchnewbie]

is only the NEW MBP with solded memory/SSD?

 

[Liquinn]

I'm selling my late 2011 and will buy a 13".

 

[MarkLyons]

Sorry, I'm a bit out of the loop, but will these new laptops come with Mountain Lion? How about a refurbished version of the old (as of now) MBPs? If not, will all these I mentioned be available for update when Mountain Lion is ready?

I'd really appreciate an answer to this if someone has a moment
