my heart says yes, wallet says yes, but wife says no...
That's what employers are for.
apple doesn't mention anything about the 13 inch ; is it coming soon or what!!!!!!!
Who cares? The 13" is for college kids. The only feature that matters is the apple on the lid.
Does anyone else think it's strange that this new MacBook has no MacBook Pro badge/title beneath the screen on the bezel unlike every other one on the market?
Um, who else sells Macbook Pros??
Meanwhile, they continue to put in middle tier GPUs or just plain junk from Intel, neither of which are Pro quality.
It's been years since any GPU failed to be of "Pro quality". The only inadequacies are in the minds (and pants) of gamer-kiddies.
They should stop calling it a Pro, just because it has Retina. That is a gimmick and one that won't work in 12 months when every other laptop vendor has gone to it.
Um, 4 cores? 16GM RAM? 4x the pixels? Robust enough that I won't snap it in half just by closing the lid? In 12 months the bulk of the rest of the laptop market will still be driven by cheap commodity units, which aren't going to sport 2880x1800 pixels. And even if they do, I'd still have a year of using a rockin' MBP.
Dont care much about retina on the laptop, just a decent graphics card in the 13" so I can run diablo 3.
Don't give up hope, there's always a chance that you'll lose your virginity by the time you reach 40.
and you see MBPs mostly with college kids and under 30s
Six admins in my group. All >35. Five of the six use 15" MBP's for our jobs. Most of our division, modulo the sales types, use MBP's too.
Anyone else noticed the pentalobe screws? That ought to piss off some upgraders.
BFD. Apple's been using those in other products for a while now. I had to buy a tiny screwdriver to open my MBP's memory cover, buying another oddball driver to crack into other products is no different. I'd much rather have *anything* over the stupidly-designed Philips head, engineered for failure, with a shape that encourages both driver slipping and stripping. Remember a few years ago when square recess screws were "exotic"?
FW800 is officially dead too (at least on mbp)
I have three external drives that disagree.
SDXC. Big difference.
The cameras that most people use take SD* cards. Their use in DSLR's is even working its way up the chain as they progressively become competitive with CF, though I favor CF's larger size and physical robustness. It surely costs Apple almost nothing to put it in there.
Just been on The UK apple store and noticed that the base model is showing 256Gb SSD HD with no upgrade option to 512GB. Does this signify that the SSD is surface mounted. [sic]
Maybe. I do wish there were a 512GB option with the base CPU, which would have fit within our purchasing guidelines, where the 512GB + 2.6 GHz costs just barely too much.
