So it was true, glossy only.

let's hope the power of the led's will offset the reflection !!

I'm glad I got one before this. I HATE glossy with a passion!!! The reflection drives me to the brink of insanity.
 
Just bought a 13 inch MB on line. The store is having some issues. Moderately impressed so far. Can't wait to see it.
 
MacBook Pro 17 - Where's the update?

During today's key note Tim Cook was asked Q: What's up with the 17-inch?
A: Tim: It's being refreshed today as well.

Soooo, where is the MacBook Pro 17 refresh?
 
I was going to order it, until I saw that the dual link DVI adapter isn't shipping for 4-5 weeks. I can't last that long without my 30" ACD.
 
the pricing his a huge drawback for me with the macbooks

the processor has almost been downgraded!

I'm certainly getting one of these. I like the look, and the specs are sweet.

Am I the only one having trouble accessing the UK Apple Store?

I'm getting the same except it says "Error Serving Request". Why did the prices go up in the UK and down in the US? :mad:
 
has anyone else spotted this?

it says 2.8ghz is optional. hmm.
 
Absolutely love the new MB and MBPs. :D:D:D

For those of you who want to complain, go hit up the Refurb section of the apple store to get an outdated model
 
firest thing to do after brushing teeth: ordering a brand new MBP 15" 2.8Ghz, 4GB ram 320GB 7200RPM !! aight!
 
I really really can't believe the crap. Still shaking my fist at Apple ! Why ? Why glossy displays ? Why is the new LED display not compatible with older Macbook Pros ? :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
I have a hard time differentiating a Macbook Pro and a Macbook now!
I think that the Pro will have a hard time, the price is steep and the only thing that you get extra is a larger screen (with a low res) and a faster GPU.
 
Wtf

This sucks.

The Macbook has no firewire, and no expresscard slot to add one?

For those who want a smaller laptop or can't afford the MBP, this really blows. This new Macbook is worthless...

I'm utterly disappointed. I had dreamed for months of pairing a small MB with my Apogee Duet audio interface for portable recording. How could they do this?
 
Looks like to me they are targeting a certain group of consumer. Little to no change to the 17' says a lot.

The updated 17-inch MacBook Pro keeps its original aluminum design, and now comes standard with a high resolution 1920 x 1200 LED-backlit display and a larger 320GB hard drive or an optional 128GB solid state drive.

and firewire
 
The online store went back down?

Anyone else notice the online store was up for a bit and now it's down again?

Wicked expensive... Was hoping they'd get on the "EEE PC" bandwagon and have a small very inexpensive laptop... guess not.
 
Love. The Apple notebooks are finally updated and are as cool looking as the iMacs.

Don't know if I'll buy the top MacBook or the entry MacBook Pro.
I really need to experience these machines IRL.
 
That's all really exciting

But I'm not thrilled.

Macbook Pro is a great machine, beautifully crafted and an engineering masterpiece. But....

-They have not updated processor speeds. Where is X9100 BTO option?
-They have not updated hard drive space. There are 500GB 2.5 SATA 3Gbps drives now, BTO?
-No matte display, but that is not much of a big problem for me. But many people are upset.
-You put mini DisplayPort, that very exciting, but you charge for adapters?? 99 USD for Dual Link DVI-I adapter? We didn't needed an adapter with the old MBP, why do we have to pay to connect our displays to our new MBP?

Oh Apple, you give us great things and yet take some good old stuff away from us at the same time.

It's been up and down. I was getting ready to hit the "buy" button when it went down. Tried again...same thing and went to the "we'll be back" screen.
 
These are consumer machines, not pro machines. Glossy screen? Loss of 60 pixels vertically? A single firewire port?

What a joke. These will bomb. Of course, if you use Apple products, you don't have a choice. You have to buy what they peddle. Sad.
