I ordered a new one on wednesday, should I cancel my order or expect to receive the new one?![]()
They needs to get hot, because they cool down with the unibody aluminum case as well, sure you fell hot but its colder inside. Remember also to keep it on a surface where it can dissipate like a table, not on your legs, bed, second skin ecc. At least when you're doing heavy tasks.
Hmm i just bought a MBA 13" 128 gb. Should i return it and get one of the new MBP 13"?
The major effect of the upgrade for people who purchased the high end 15 will be on resale, as the low end 15 now sells at that price point.
A very uninspiring update :/ I guess I'll wait for the Ivy Bridge MBPs next year.
Also, anyone else noticed that they haven't put the little "New" icon above the MacBook Pros on the store page, like they usually do?
If I'd only ordered the previous version high end 15 within the past week and could return without penalty, I would reorder the low end 15 and save the cash for ram. I'm not a gamer and even at this point the low end seems to fit that bill fine also.What about the GPU? BTW I totally agree, but it is an issue if you ordered less than week ago.
No. No need for it, nothing to bump the speed up to really, and it's only just been updated in May. You'll be seeing a major update around May next year, but nothing until then in all likelihood.What about the iMac ?
I plan to buy one in the next few Weeks. Will there be also a minor bump?
4GB RAM in 2011?
Come on, Apple! We need 8GB RAM as standard configuration!
Can someone explain to me what the advantage is of the 2.5GB quad core i7 processor which is available as a £200 extra compared to the 2.4GB quad core i7 processor that comes as standard on the top end 15' model?other than the 6GB L3 vs. 8GB L3 that is!
I think they updated the HDD from 320 kb to 500kb as well
Why? Apple computers have always needed less, and there isn't any software using 8GB at once. I kind of learned this by having sold Apple computers, and through a friend of mine who constantly renders high-end graphics for work. He never uses more than 3.something at once.
That's like saying you want a MBA. But faster? The latest model is really competing with MBP already!hmmm not unexpected but still I thought they'd skip this and surprise us all early next year with MacBook Pro line with design like MacBook Air.
I guess I'll have to wait. All I want (or why I would upgrade from my ageing 2009 MacBook Pro 13") is if they release 13" with design like Air but with quad core. That's all I want in future MBP - Air design (with Air's 13" screen), Quad core and ThunderBolt.
Yes, I know how it sounds, sorry about that.there it is!!!!

I feel bad, even quite worried, for the people that throw a fit over a spec bump dropping the values of their notebooks. I could only imagine what you guys are gonna do when your home values keep dropping...
Suicide much? :/
OK, that may be true (also see my other reply), but the argument is still valid that for 95% of users, multiple programs or not, anything more than 4GB of RAM is just silly. There's always the option should you need it.That's not true. Computers need as much RAM as is appropriate for what you do with them.
There may not be any software using 8GB at once, but a lot of people use more than one application at a time, and for people doing certain types of work (for example, music production) 8GB of RAM can be a bare-minimum requirement. Plug-ins and AU/VSTs will eat it in seconds.
