Where are you guys seeing the pictures/video of the presentation? Are you in the room with Jobs? All I can find are text only feeds.

meh not so sure about the new trackpad... I like having a real button... but I'll probably like it in person more...

The whole trackpad IS a button.

 

[Analog Kid]

Following the Ars feed-- did they just say the MBP will have "both" Nvidia chips? Surely that means, BTO, no?

 

[johnsy]

Magsafe, Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire 800, two USB ports, a Mini Display Port, Audio In/Out (analog and optical digital), ExpressCard 34, and a battery indicator

 

[JG271]

SSD was true also, amazing leaks this time.

 

[FJ218700]

. . . and suddenly I can sell my 2001 TiBook to some college freshman for > $500.

 

[galstaph]

nice move for the battery indicator, more useful... port selection is good too

 

[Adjei]

I'm overwhelmed, I'm getting both an MBP and MBA.

 

[Small White Car]

no FW400...

Get an adapter. FW800 is backwards compatible.

 

[billchase2]

dang, i really wanted bluray

 

[Bob Fraggle]

Say wha????? How many GPUs do I really need, Jobs? Lot of weird is goin' on. It looks like a lot of rumors are holding true so far.

 

[.Chris]

can this glass shatter if you dropped the macbook now?

I think a lot more will shatter of you go around droping the notebook on the ground

Really not liking the mini display port.

 

[zioxide]

the black is horrendous

 

[gadgetgirl85]

What price is the cheapest current MBP in american? how does the new price compare?

 

[geerlingguy]

Dual graphics = nice, as well as the easily-changeable hard drive. However, that screen is fugly!

 

[priller]

$1999, is that cheaper than the old base mbp?

 

[Eidorian]

Hard drive access on the MacBook Pro.

 

[TC03]

Can LCD-displays that only can only be connected through VGA also be connected through the mini DisplayPort?

 

[Zimpaz]

shipping 2moro!

 

[gauchogolfer]

Really not liking the mini display port.

Why is that? I thought that DisplayPort was slated to replace HDMI?

 

[Markleshark]

No 17"?
