NO Firewire on MacBook Air, NO PURCHASE!
The Air has never had Firewire. Did you mean the MacBook?

Soooo, where is the MacBook Pro 17 refresh?
Wow. How do you NOT update the 17 inch to match the 15 inch?!?!
Anyone else notice the online store was up for a bit and now it's down again?
Shame they missed the price, but overall I am happy (not sure on the glossy tho)
no 17inch redesign yet they update the HD in it. well that takes away my hope.
What's the difference between the old and new 17" MBP?
The old low end $1099 MacBook will remain in Apple's product line and fall to $999, while the new MacBooks will provide the following price points:
- $1999. 15.4" Glossy Display, 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM, NVIDIA 9400M + 9600M, 250GB HD.
- $2499. 15.4" Glossy Display, 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA 9400M + 9600M, 320GB HD.
It's in the article:
Apple also provided a quiet update to the 17" MacBook Pro:
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.
So new macbook pro's, which aren't really that amazing in my opinion are now more expensive over-all and a lot more expensive for students (atleast in Canada).
The Macbook Pro's are now 2150 from 2100 in Canada, and the Student discount goes from 200 dollars off to 100 dollars off!! Which means Yesterday a MATTE macbook pro would cost me 1900+tax, now it costs me 2050+tax and I have to deal with a bloody glossy screen. 150 dollar price increase! and no matte option, which for me and a lot of people is a big deal.
In otherwords, these shinanigans cost Steve one sale.
Why ? Why glossy displays ? Why is the new LED display not compatible with older Macbook Pros ?![]()
