I can do it, but ntrigue did it first. 16:9 according to the image.
Keyboard seems small to be able to get any real use out of it.
are you suggesting a huge trackpad that is a screen, to give a tablet option? seems cool, but the look and feel may be strange to get used too...
S.J doesn't care what you want...
Hmm...no event announcement...how sad. If Apple doesn't plan on giving an event then a) there is either no update or b) the changes are subtle (spec bump?)
OR you could just keep the same amount of screen space and just allocate the vertical and horizontal differently...
What don't you get? Would you rather have more or less real estate?![]()
13": 1280·800 » 1366·768 (give-and-take but 2.5% more pixels)
15": 1440·900 » 1600·900 (wider)
17": 1680·1050 » 1920·1080 (larger)
At least that's what we're hoping. If they go down, then I'm not for 16:9.
F'reals. For me, I'd prefer 16:10 on the Macbook level. As is 800px tall is a constraint at times, and I'd prefer not to lose any more. Heck, I would generally only have like 720px (out of 768px on a 16:9 13.3" screen) or so to work with because I'm not a huge fan of the hiding dock, and i like to keep the bottom open (maybe its just me).
I personally don't give a darn about watching movies with black bars, seeing how tons of releases now at 2.35:1 anyways now (~21:9 ratio)
That's just my $0.02 however.
Exactly! You can expect the new mac's to have the dock on the left side (not the bottom) by default.![]()
this means it'll be almost impossible to do stuff on the inside of the pro. like upgrading the hard drive and stuff like that
Left sided dock makes me sad
I like having my programs butt-up against the sides of the monitor's edges...*sigh*
16:10 please![]()
Why can we see the table below the ports?
ill bet $2499 dollars that this picture was "leaked" by apple, its just too perfect "mr blurry cam" to not be. Its just supposed to get the forums and rumor site all worked up before they release a product.
and its working...
hrmm. thinking of the glass trackpads, and the iphone esque ideas, why not remove the built in track altogether, and leave it with an open slot as a docking station for either ipod or itouch?
ie: dock your phone where the trackpad would be, and use it for the touchpad when using the laptop. Built in mic/speakers work if recieving a call while computing...
also, abilty to remove the phone from the doc, and take your your laptops contact/dayplanner/other syncables with you on the road.
cool idea,![]()

But, do those 16:9 displays come with LED backlighting?
If they don't, Apple won't use them.
All the displays that Apple uses can fit a full-size keyboard, so this is not an advantage of the 16:9.
Cheaper? It would be interesting to know the actual price of a 1600*900 13.1" display, because I believe it would cost more than a 1280*800 13.3". Of course a 16 or 18" 1600*900 would cost less than a 1680*1050 or a 1920*1200 15/17" display, but it would have also less pixels (let alone LED BL).
Until manufacturers come up with LED BL 16:9 displays with resolutions up to 1920*1080 on sizes no bigger than 18.x",we would be better served with 16:10 panels.
16:9 panels is the latest PC manufacturers hype, because they still don't know how to differentiate between themselves!
So right now, the only "advantage" of 16:9 displays on notebooks is no "black bars" when watching 16:9 movies.
What I would like to see from Apple (in the meantime) is:
13.x" 1280*800 LED BL glossy (like the MBA display) on the new 13" MB
15.x" 1440*900 LED BL glossy (like the current 15" MBP) on a new 15" MB
15.x" 1680*1050 LED BL matte/glossy (new resolution) on the new 15" MBP
17.x" 1920*1200 LED BL matte/glossy (standard) on the new 17" MBP
Indeed.
If you look at the third port hole from the left, you can clearly see the continuation of the edging of the white material that's underneath the case.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the one-piece 'brick' concept. But looking at the ports, it looks like there is no bottom on that casing.
I'm sure someone else has said this by now. I got a little tired of scanning through the 16 9 screen size debate!
Hey 16:9 vs 16:10 debate is part of the discussion about this new casing. Anyways, wth, you really think they're going to "carve/mill" an entire case out of a solid alu block? It was ridiculous when 9to5 posted it, and it's ridiculous now.
