I can see why everyone wants Blu-Ray, but I just can't see it happening on the laptops just yet. I think Mac Pro's will be able to have them by next year.
And then maybe Blu-Ray drive in 17-inch MacBook Pro's in late 2009 - early 2010.

It probably won't ever happen unless it becomes as easy as a dvd and cd burner. About five years ago, you had to pay extra to find those (at least the dvd burner) in computers.
My old laptop doesn't have one. My parents old desktop does, but they had to pay extra for it.
Someone just needs to make a universal disc drive that does everything, only without all the buttons - I mean, without sucking out all of the battery power.
I sure hope so. *crosses fingers for a dedicated graphics card in the MBs.*
= l33t
Well, I guess I will wait until just before my first day of college to purchase my MBP. Anyone know if this new design will affect pricing at all? (Preferably not making it more expensive, I mean I'm already shelling out $3000!)
Also any word on when this is doing down? (Too lazy to read through ten pages)
Thanks!!
Well, if they put them in Macbooks, I'd no longer want a MBP. That's probably the exact reason Apple doesn't make dedicated graphics cards in MB's.
Yea I forgot about that version that quickly. I guess I want a updated version something terrible.
If it is constructed the way the MBA is it won't dent. The current MBP casing doesn't dent easy either. I've had two, so I know. And I toke them every where.
I too would however like the MBP to be made out of a different material, but not polycarbonates the are too heavy. I would rather they use reinforced plastics like carbon fibre and kevlar. Which are very light, stiff and if laminated correctly very strong.
Well then, I guess I'll be best off just waiting it out until then, although I kinda want to actually go to college with a laptop...haha.
I just hope they decide to put in magnetic latches, not that I want it to look like the Macbook Air totally, but it just seems logical. (My friend's Macbook Pro is so annoying to open!)

Yeah... looks the same besides the internal design so you can take out the HDD or whatever.
I still don't understand why the bottom portion of the laptop is 1/3 smaller than the top half.
I understand your reasoning, but surely this can't be the only big reason to buy a MBP over a regular MB?
I know it would piss off a lot of people to have to shell out an extra 1k just to get a dedicated graphics card. I know it already does piss off a lot of people. But aren't there other advantages to the MBP? I don't really see anything different in the specs.
Well, even a less powerful dedicated graphics card would be better than nothing.
The dedicated video card is the break down point. I've asked the question before and most user agree. Some are even willing to take slower processors just for a low end discrete video solution.
Yeah I think they could manage a dedicated card in the Macbook. There are many more reasons to get a Pro than for the graphics.
Obviously if the HD is accessible, ram will be as well. Now lets hope they have gotten rid of the FW400 port, upped the stock size of their HD's, and we see a extra USB port added. Also a up to a non express card slot would be nice.
Obviously the HDMI output has been moved around, along with a few of the current ports on the MBP because of the battery placement.
Blue-ray will be a no no, and I doubt that the new MPB will be able to take Solid State Drives. I hope there is a price drop of about 100-200$, its time Apple gave back to the Customers again.
I don't think we will see these out before summers end.

On the other side, duh!
its only the top and bottom shell, the inside shell is fused to the outside shell. this piece of aluminum will tell us nothing about keyboard layout ect
thank you! thank you! thank you!!! With all the iPhone news, the MBP rumors went AWOL.
Please release this soon!
