Apple Releases New MacBooks

[4np]

Where's the MBP at?

 

[trudd]

d'oh. Hopefully the MBPs are released at WWDC. That is a nice speed bump, though.

 

[BryanLyle]

Wow. These updates stink. I'll stick with my original macbook with 2gb RAM. Well, until new MBP machines come out

 

[millypede]

Also a drop in Power on the power supply from 60w to 55w, which is odd, but good, i think!?

Damn I was atleast hoping for colors too.

So apple flogging old technlogy in an a stylish case, while the PC world moves on

 

[doom4]

this update really sucks. the missing of a graficcard sucks grrrrrrr

the intel grafik chip is even worser then geforce 2

Why are Apple making the MB so processor powerful while making so pathetic in terms of it's GPU?

Because they want to sell more MacBook Pros.

The UK and US Stores are now up!

And all the MacBooks on the UK Store are £50 cheaper!

 

[Macula]

No mini either?

 

[Stella]

So so update.

Now, will Santa Rosa differentiate the MacBook and MB Pro models?

Otherwise, got to wonder when these processors are coming?

Apple MacBook: Yesterdays technology at today's prices.

EVERYONE would've been happier had they stuck with 1.8 and 2.0 and gone with Santa Rosa. Now the graphics, CPU and chipset on the MB will be a generation behind every other laptop for the next 6 months.

Good work Apple. Idiots.

As someone waiting to buy their first Mac I am FURIOUS with Apple and their continued raping of MB buyers.

The MBs are the line of computers that will benefit most from SR and Apple do THIS? I actually cannot believe it. They are absolute bastards.

Ahh i think they must be staggering updates.

I think we will be here again next tuesday waiting for mbp updates

 

[md11]

These seem very portable to me.

portable ≠ ultraportable

These are solid updates... stop trolling.

Still a combo drive in the base model. This is 2007 Apple, not 2003...

As someone who has been waiting for about a year for a decent GPU in a MB to buy his first Mac I am severely pissed off.

Why are Apple making the MB so processor powerful while making so pathetic in terms of it's GPU?

For the next six months the MB will be poor compared to every other laptop, as every other one will have SR. Heck, the SR CPUs are cheaper than the old ones so they could've put in a 2.0 and 2.2.

I think most ppl (I do!) feel the same way about the Mac Pro's and their 17 month old GPU selection.

 

[Stridder44]

Why'd they even bother? I'm going to bed.

 

[desk003]

8x DL superdrive? how long have they had that? That's new, isn't it? The 15"ers don't even have that yet...

 

[OllyW]

£50 reduction on UK prices

 

[kresh]

Thanks goes to the iPhone!!!

This pitiful MB update brought to you by the super-amazing iPhone.

Here at Apple, we intend to fully live up to our new motto!

Motto: "The new Apple, it's not your father's computer company, it's just Apple Inc."

HAHAHAHAHA, that's the most ridiculous post I've read all day!!
Well done!

 

[Digital Skunk]

So, wonder how long it will take before we start getting "Why didn't they put Santa Rosa in the MB" threads, or "How long until Santa Rosa is in the MB" threads?

Yeah and those... "I hate Apple because they didn't make my dream come true..." posts as well. Glad I went out and bought my MBP and started having fun with it, so much for those fence sitters.

 

[landverraad]

Let the WWDC MBP speculation begin!

 

[Padraig]

That's it i'm buying a Sony. Farewell Macrumors.
