Higher Quality MacBook Pro Case Photos

The surface is flat smooth as if it was a touch screen. In future we will have touch screen or laser keyboards or something like that on a flat surface.

I hope not. I would have to type so frickin slow on a keyboard with no tactile feedback.
 
I don't know if anyone has brought this up before but does anyone think Apple will incorporate Wireless USB? It seems a good way to make up for limited physical ports. And I believe the standard was pushed by Intel, so it seems a good way to make up to them if Apple went with nVidia chipsets. Apple was one of the first out of the gate and drove adoption for USB and 802.11b, so it seems fitting that they do the same for Wireless USB.

well its kinda like how we all thought that apple wouldnt drop the 160gb ipod touch

seems like apple loves dropping stuff

ie. higher capacity ipod, slot drive, and now FIREWIRE OR ETHERNET?


itll be funny when in the end we find out apple actually kept both

Yes. If you depend on tactile feedback then it will slow you down.

I guess it depends on how a person learned to type. As for me I use the keyboard as if I am playing a piano. No tactile feedback, just my brain knows where to hit, asdf jkl; etc. I wish we could choose the type of keyboard like the screens. But maybe they are making it chicklet because majority of mac buyers prefer chikclet?
 
I am going to be very disappointed if apple does not introduce a 12'' notebook.

It has been a long time already, long waiting and no cigar.

And I have to wait to see the final product, but I don't see anything appealing in those photos. No new technologies, no creative design.

Apple prodcuts were never meant to conquer the world, that was more a MS-PC philosophy.

Still hoping for something exceptional.

If the MB is really going to get illuminated keys and, going by the pictures, a lighter and thinner shell, I can only forsee a heavy price drop for the MBA. All for the better--dont need that optical drive anyways.

I wish it was true...

I disagree. It was most of the day, and an otherwise boring Sunday anyway :D.

I wish they made it up to them by using their new SSDs ;).
 
Looks like 2 tone!

With this picture it really does look like it will be a 2 tone MacBook Pro.

From the other thread, perhaps on the new MacBooks the port next to MagSafe is FW800. I am not too surprised if Apple wanted to sell another cable (USB-to-Ethernet, ala MB Air) to get Ethernet back!

Speaking of the MagSafe, IM surprised that Apple hasn't come up with something new here, considering all the MagSafe issues. :eek:
 
From AppleInsider:

The standard MacBook, however, may prove more worrisome for some prospective owners. The metal design only shows Ethernet, two USB ports, mini-DVI and audio as its expansion; FireWire 400 isn't visible anywhere in the available photos.

Removing the port gives Apple its first consumer-level portable without FireWire since the earliest versions of the first-generation iBook and represents a step back for Apple from the connection standard it helped create. A cursory look at the casing suggests space is the reason, though the new MacBook doesn't appear significantly smaller than its current plastic equivalent.

Technological change does favor Apple's move. While FireWire was originally added and maintained on Apple's more inexpensive portables to simplify connecting digital video cameras and eventually earlier iPod generations, more modern camcorders (including HD models), iPods and iPhones now depend chiefly on USB for a direct-to-computer file transfer.

PS: The Ethernet vs. FireWire poll. Seems as if this will mean serious woes for not a few of us...
 
ok im confused. I see people are saying that there is an ethernet jack and that there isnt one?

Can anyone clear up for me? (The page at the source doesnt want to load fully for me). An ethernet jack is very important to me because the dorms at my top choice school (St john fisher) don't have wifi (unless theyve done some updating).
