It is ridiculous in its own way...I'd be okay even with non-retina 17"
I see some of them going for around £1000 on eBay.
A kind of 17" MBA? Well, that would have been nice.I just want a thin, 17" MacBook Pro (doesn't have to be Retina).. that is user upgradeable and has a high end GPU.
Holy crap. Are you serious? Nobody? Everybody I know and work with owns one. I own 2!!!Holy crap. Are you guys serious? Nobody bought the 17" behemoth before so what's going to change to reverse that? A MBA17?You can make it as thin as you want but the overall dimensions will still be based on a 17" display.
Let me guess, nobody you knew voted for Nixon either, right?Holy crap. Are you serious? Nobody? Everybody I know and work with owns one. I own 2!!!
My parents did.Let me guess, nobody you knew voted for Nixon either, right?
Well, take care of 'em I guess. I suspect their next stop will be the scrap heap.Everybody I know and work with owns one. I own 2!!!
Nah, it's coming back, just not yet.Well, take care of 'em I guess. I suspect their next stop will be the scrap heap.
Sure it is. Right after the Newton makes a comeback.Nah, it's coming back, just not yet.
Exactly.I use a 17" MBP at work, and d*** around with C# on my girlfriend's 13" retina MBP, and the 17" is better is almost every non-form-over-function way imaginable.
You'll eat crow soon.Sure it is. Right after the Newton makes a comeback.![]()
The name's Henry and no, it's not.It's dead Jim. Sorry, but the 17" is gone.
Very happy you say so.I think Apple will release a 17" MBPr at some point. Too many PROsumers used it and I think it would make for a great upgrade.
The 17" MBP sold way better than the Mac Pro so I would not be so quick to dismiss it.
-P
Unless you have some proof, that's just speculation. As of now, it's dead.The name's Henry and no, it's not.
I'd pull a Jim Dalrymple and say "nope", but then I'd get my comment deleted and another BS private message from the "mods" telling me I can't use a one-word answer because apparently it'd crash the entire forum and even the internet! So instead I'll say this: As of this very instant perhaps, but all I can say is it is indeed not permanently dead.Unless you have some proof, that's just speculation. As of now, it's dead.
Your age is showing. The "reference" went right by you.The name's Henry and no, it's not.
Got the Trek reference just fine. I'm an optimist, not a doctor! And glad I've still got my Apple ][Your age is showing. The "reference" went right by you.
Ok. If it will help I hope the 17" MBP comes back. Whatever. It won't cost me anything nor did it ever hurt my wallet when it was produced.
But hang on to the ones you have now. Pack 'em up real nice. In 50 years who knows... $500,000 at auction.
I wish I still had my Apple ][.
