Apple Releases Aluminum Unibody 17" MacBook Pro

[ageha]

don't you hate it when facts intrude:

"7/2/2008 |
Washington, DC – Some 55% of all adult Americans now have a high-speed internet connection at home, according to a May 2008 survey conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project."

Even in 2007 the percentage was pegged at 47%.

Do you say 55% of all adult Americans are the vast majority of our population? lol

Samsung? Intel doesn't offer 256GB SSDs. Apple uses always the cheapest parts.

Ram Question

RAM is outrageously too expensive...
By looking at the original ones here:
(OWC 8GB PC3-8500 DDR3 1066MHz)
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other World Computing/8566DDR3S8GP/

compared to this one:
(STT DDR3-1066 SO 4GB Kit CL7 Qimonda Notebook Memory)
http://www.laptopcomputercentral.com/STT-DDR3-1066-SO,i230313495547,c158898.html

Is it possible to use the Qimonda ones in MAC? has anyone tried it? Spec and socket looks the same... Anyone? If you can and how reliable is it? Please let me know. Cheers.

Yep thats the one. Anyway tried? Try to post this things to other forum and if you get anything back that'd be great. Who knows any of you guys have some good forums for Advance Apple User that I don't know. Cheers.

Do laptops still make men sterile? And why isn't that listed as a feature?

Because there is no such thing as a laptop. Notice the term notebook. You aren't supposed to put it on your lap for an extended period or your body will become an extended heat sink.

I hope they implement this new battery feature into all of their laptops, and add an option for a removable version for the travelers. And of course, add an option for matte on all the laptops.

Maybe Apple'll make titanium laptops soon.

its the same thing. Laptop/notebook. Both mean the same thing: a Mobile computer

True, but I don't think you are going to get any money for suing Apple for frying your legs and sperm.

Have you seen how much a vasectomy costs? Why would I sue them?

I wouldn't bet on it working and then don't sue them for the result(s).

 

[Floeese]

Does the new 17in. Macbook Pro still have the Agere firewire chipset or did Apple listen and switch back to the TI chipset? Anyone know yet.

Vasectomies are covered by insurance...it's way way way way cheaper than them paying for a pregnancy + baby (or babies).

 

[Wie Gehts]

Dear Apple.

License your OS out so we aren't limited to your overpriced, crippled, limited hardware choices. Screw you. You used to be the cats pajamas for us artists. Now you just plain suck. And I used to be such a fanboi.

 

[whooleytoo]

Would this be an ironic time to point out that "Mac" derives from Gaelic, meaning "son"? Maybe the Mac is just eliminating the competition.

Have fun trying to install 4 x 2 gb sticks on a laptop. Though it only had 2 slots. Or is it something i am missing from the ebay link. Sure 4x2 gb = 8gb but you need 2x4gb and thats were things get expensive

I think right now the price is not that higher than finding them from anywhere else. Same to go from 2 to 4gb on MB. DDR3 is still expensive in comparison with ddr2

You know what I meant. 4GBX2 sticks. Not a combo I'm used to typing out.

Aren't those ones 4x2gb though on the link? I though they were. If they are they wont work for him in case he thinks that they will.

I didnt want to offend you or something. English are not my first language so i dont sometimes get some expressions. :$.. Sorry if you felt offended or soemthing like that.:$

I'm not offended. It seems that the ebay sale is incorrect. I believe they mean 2 chips at 4GB each. Hence the 8GB kit.
