Lit from the outside?
The logo is not lit by the spotlight beam... you can clearly see it is illuminating itself, which is why it looks so much brighter than the aluminium around it...
They would never drop the backlit logo. That is THE thing that makes Macs stand out in airports etc.

WWDC seems to be the only even MR gets to show up at. Not that we don't have plenty of other sources of live keynote reports.Nice
How come MR doesn't get invited?!

Yes, you can return it for a fee...
Nice

Because they host blasphemous chanting on their evil free speech forums.

perhaps MR is the ugly fat kid nobody wants at their parties.
A 20" laptop? That'd be an aluminum picnic table.
well if they can make it as hot as the old PB's it'll actually be a griddle!!
Usually a 15 day window for returns (30 days for some products/sellers).
control click isn't difficult but it is annoying - that being said I think the two finger "click" is actually more efficient than having to move your thumb around for a right click.
True, but you should NEVER mention that it's because of the new model ...
Just say that you lost your job

Sweet. That's almost one and a half year of waiting for me (since may 2007) possibly coming to an end.
Four things I hope for:
If I were to push my luck, I would also like for both models to have the MBP-style keyboard.
To sum up: I really hope that Apple has put more work into quality on both models, rather than pure performance. I'd rather have a MB with a low-end C2D, featuring a much better display, case and a more thought-out design overall, than a new case accompanied by a speed bump.
Four things I hope for:
- Better displays across the board (much better viewing angles and less wash-outs on the MB, no yellowings or other issues on the MBP). LEDs on the MB.
- A better display hinge, so that you actually can tilt the display backwards without it hitting the back of the laptop, or the bottom of the lid resting on the underlying surface (in my opinion that's a major design flaw).
- SuperDrive for all!
- Better quality control!

Absolutely wonderful.
Will spend the money on one of these new notebook asap. It's been really hard, but I'm super-glad I waited now (since nov. 2007).
Fast forward to the 14th please.

Remember when the first iPod classic came out? Well, 15 days before they were released I bought the 80GB Ipod before it. How annoyed I was that I was unable to return it. I rang my local Apple Retail and spoke to them about it and they said - don't worry. Bring it in and we will swap it for you.
Unbelievable, but then it occurred to me that they may have thought it was still unopened. But I took it down anyways. They took a look at it, said that they would exchange it even though it was out of the 14 day window!
They asked me which iPod classic I wanted so I though I would go for the maximum storage. I asked for the 160GB version in black. He brings one over and asks me for the card I paid for the original, I thought it was fair enough to pay a restocking fee and/or the difference in price for the new model. Instead, they REFUNDED me about a tenner as the 160GB classic was cheaper than the older 80GB model!!!
Since then, I was a convert. I am really looking forward to purchasing a Mac book Pro.
come to think of it that would be another way to discern between the MB and the MBP. I personally don't need 8GB so I'd be more than happy with 4 (I'm currently at 768 on my 12" PB)
Well, it depends on where you bought it from. If you went through apple you may be in luck. If you purchase an ipod/computer within 14 days of when the upgrades hit they will exchange your product for the new one if it is in acceptable condition. Campus Stores do not follow this procedure....
