I'd go with Ultra Portable Processor Equipped Microcomputer Machine That Can Be Used Wherever A Relatively Stable Surface Presents Itself. Or a UPPEMMTCUWARS for short.
I wonder if that abbreviation will catch on? I'm gonna try to memorize it.

Well then, I'd say I'm long overdue for an upgrade. haha. I've got a mid-2010 MBP.
Their bread and butter are the iOS devices. They'll get to the rest of the lineup as they see fit, IMO.
Mee too, a 13" with Core2Duo. That makes me how many cpu generations behind? I lost count.Well then, I'd say I'm long overdue for an upgrade. haha. I've got a mid-2010 MBP.
Unfortunately this is true. We're not as important as the iToys.
+1 I've been watching house of cards...and honestly, the experience is so much better on my iPad than my macbook pro. despite the macbook pro having a quad core i7 vs. the A6x chip on the ipad
the macbook pro gets hot on my lap, runs out of battery much quicker and takes more steps to do what i want it to do.
the iPad is quickly becoming my main computer.
If Apple does another CPU chip change to their own ARM, I'm going to be pissed.
But then again, so we really need faster chips at this point for the average Facebook, email, & Spotify consumer? Nope. We need more optimized software.
Looking forward to a successor for the 17" MBP. And don't you dare say that Apple won't do it! They pulled something like this for the Mac Pro, making us think that it would slowly die off, before releasing the new vastly redesigned cylindrical model. Methinks Apple will redefine the pro laptop in the same way that they redefined the pro desktop
It's probably a matter of profit, the lion's share comes from the iPhone and iPad. Mac sales are becoming a very small percentage of overall Apple sales. I don't think they are going to abandon the Macbooks, but I won't be surprised to see them become a bit more iOS device like, if that makes any sense.
Just curious - what do you do that makes a mid 2010 "long overdue" for an upgrade?
I have a late 2011 and man I feel like that thing still has looong legs ahead of it

apple is sad...just sad...
apple should have a big update for each year rather than minor spec bump.
Maybe need to focus more on MP.

There is a scale setting in the 15" rMBP which provides pixel by pixel the exact same screen estate as a 17" MBP.

And you are asking for a second HDD bay? In a future notebook?
Honestly if the iPad is becoming your main computer then you never needed a MacBook Pro to begin with. An i7 is overkill for you. You should be running an 11" MacBook Air then. It doesn't get hot like a Pro. The battery life is better and the screen is still bigger than an iPad.
I wonder if Apple would be further ahead by going back to discrete GPU's in these models again as a way of making up for the lack of processing power. Anyone who uses video or design software knows that a system with a discrete GPU will always trump an integrated chip.
The only mac that needs to be updated is the Mac mini anyway. The rest can go another 10 months without updates easy.

Apple's ARM chips will be in Macbook Air's.
No way they will use ARM, since its far inferior to x86 in almost every way <snip> It just not cost efficient and consumer friendly. Overall its a downgrade path, and not a small one either.
Yes it could compete with Chrome laptops very well.Or will there be an Apple "chrome-like" machine that uses ARM?
You should do the same. I guarantee if you do that, you will not see much of a performance increase even from a 2014 Mac Mini (since the i7 processor was a great one, and desktop, and the Mac Mini one will be a mobile processor).
You're holding it wrong! 1920x1200 here and 1920x1200 there, is exactly the same. The rest is viewing distance, which is variable anyway.He explained it to you and you still didn't get it. Resolution is not the same as screen estate!!!! Just cause I can have 1920x1200 on 15" doesn't mean i'm getting the same 1920x1200 on 17".
What do you mean, "otherwise"? We are all having iPads and we all use them as browsers. The whole internet is getting optimized for touch. No, I don't get it. Because the 17" MBP never was a bestseller, the 13" was. And the 8" iPad mini is outselling them both.Otherwise we would all be having iPads as those can have even higher resolution. So, your browser window would shrink so much that you would not be able to read it. (I hope you will get it now)!
Instead you have to mess with internal HDDs and internal 17" screen in your 3 kg schlepptop*. You only have internalized all the trouble, you don't like to have externally. Next thing you add is an internal ODD. And than a FDD.On the road I don't have to mess with external HDDs - or external Monitors...
