Are you kidding me? a 512 GB SSD cost over 1K!
Apple buys in bulk, the price the receive an SSD at is much lower than what a consumer can buy for individually.

I think we were showing that they were not close to the actual release date.
What is the best graphic option for the macbook pro?
Gforce, ATI or a discrete chip from sandy bridge?
Do you think that for this series the 13'' macbook gets an anti-glare display?
best

Your optical drive is analog?With the new rumor of Apple going fully digital I'm expecting a drop in the optical drive which could mean discrete graphics in the 13".
Ok but still. How much does it cost to make a 512 GB SSD? If a 500GB HDD cost 100 bucks it cost WD whatever % of that to make it and then Apple buys in bulk.
Theres still a huge difference between what a 512 GB SSD would cost Apple vs a 500 GB HDD
525M would be suited for the 15" and 17" or the similar TDP AMD 6XXX mobility chip.Assuming the 2011 mbps have sandy bridge. would the 15 and the 17inch still have the gt 330m or would those get upgraded to?
Start waiting for Ivy Bridge, when the first 35W quad cores will be available.Quad cores?

MacBook Air -And they sell BTO for what the consumer would pay retail. You're living in a dream if you think SSD's are going to be baseline or cheap to upgrade to.
Core i7-2620M(2.70GHz) - 15" + 17"
Core i5-2540M(2.60GHz) - 15" + 17"
Core i5-2520M(2.50GHz) - 15"
Core i5-2410M(2.30GHz) - 13" + 15"?
Core i3-2310M(2.10GHz) - 13"
Anyone wanna guess at what GFX these will carry now?
With all the news about Intel/Nvidia I'm a bit lost as what is most likely.
The difference is fairly big but it's not like this is the first time Apple has used flash storage in their machines. Whoever they buy from they buy at a majorly discounted price. You can't be comparing individual retail prices.

Apple didn't but SSD's for the Air. They used flash memory soldered onto the logic board which ment it is not upgradeable. Not really acceptable for a "pro" machine.
Oh boy 10W. I will probably never buy another notebook again if this keeps up.Start waiting for Ivy Bridge, when the first 35W quad cores will be available.
MacBook Air -
256GB SSD starting at 1599
128 GB SSD starting at 1199
