Exactly. But we know when they're released that's it , until the next major release.
HMMMMMMMMM............
Gee I wonder if that could relate to just about everything.....

It is legit to comment that people are surprised about the lack of questions concerning the MacBook line of the business. Its obvious the big focus is on the iPad, but there is legit concern for the lack of new information on the Macbook and Macbook Pro.

Um, yes? Most -normal- people don't buy a new macbook pro every 6 months to a year. The only people bitching about "old hardware" are fanboys on forums that probably just want something to complain about.
Who said anything about macbooks?
Am I wrong? Most devices get updated at least annually. Except gaming consoles. We all know that. No one bitches when a new 360 isn't released the following year. But here we are 3yrs later with the same ATV.HMMMMMMMMM............

I thought it would be the perfect travelling companion for a photographer. Think about it: Users can take photos with their digital SLR (the photo sizes are quite large). They can then upload them to storage on the iPad whist showing off their snaps to friends on the large touch screen and then on a projector. Then I realised the thing only has 32GB of space AND a single Apple proprietry port so whilst it is certainly possible, it actually defeats the purpose of convenience since you'll be carrying multiple adapters around when the iPad could have sported USB ports and SD card slots.
The iPad is still a great though unoriginal piece of work well tied into the iPod Touch ecosystem.

On this site, who doesn't. Every thread turns into a bitch-fest about MBPs lately. It's getting old.
There were also no questions about the Mac Pro update which is far behind the MBP's. The Mac mini wasn't asked about either. The MBP isn't Apple's only product.![]()
Yes, I know that's what they say, but if you think about it the laptops are completely different category. Let me explain: the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch all share the OS, iPod touch and iPhone share the form factor/design and the iPods and the items before share the iPod music functionality/software. So you'll see that these people would most likely work as teams and cooperate within Apple. Where as the laptops do not share anything hardware- or software-wise with the other products. As such they "mobile devices" only in nice speeches not in actual resource allocation.You do realize they include laptops under "mobile devices."
There is far too much waiting when it comes to Apple products.I know. I've been waiting since Dec for a new MBP. I agree. It's getting old.
Don't you just hate when your thread backfires?

The only people bitching about "old hardware" are fanboys on forums that probably just want something to complain about. Just because a new chip comes out, doesn't mean that productivity drops for those using current hardware, or that the existing models suddenly become slow.
For the record I buy a new one every year and a half! So I just missed that boat! I'm ready to upgrade my Oct 2008 unibody!
I'll probably wait until summer to upgrade. I think a lot of folks just want to see the new line-up, whether or not their in the market for a new MBP...
I'm starting to think Apple won't update the MBP's until after the iPad launch.

feeling insecure about your netbook again sam?![]()
What do you mean? They are superior in every way. If Apple wants to stick to the same thermal envelope, there are Core i-processors available with the same TDP values.I'm waiting to see what Apple has in store for the updates, and if they are what I have a feeling they may end up being, I'll be buying one of the '09 models. I just have a bad feeling about the direction Intel is trying to go with these procs.
