Okay i think i might just be doing this to rant because i know nobody else knows any more than I do at the moment, but i cant contain my excitement / frustrations / apple explosion of awesomeness.
Anyhoo, i do have a few legitimate questions, but lets start from square one:
I sold my macbook last month before the iPod event in anticipation of a macbook pro update, I've been planning on upgrading to the Pro since May-ish but decided it would be best to wait till july when they were expected to be updated... then august... september... october, and... that puts us here!
I've been waiting for way to long to continue to wait for the first product cycle to end, or even shipping, so i wont be getting any build to order, i'll just be going to the apple store asap and getting my brand new computer
The problem is this, i know i want a 500GB Hard Drive, and 4 GB of ram, but since apple (obviously) hasnt released the specs i dont know if there will be a SKU that comes with these things (or how obnoxiously overpriced it will be). So i want my macbook to be functional (with everything) immediately, but i dont want to buy 4GB of ram off new egg and make sure it gets shipped here by tuesday only to find out you can buy a model with it standard.
I think we can safely assume that they will be using the nVidia chipsets and thus will be using DDR3 (the nVidia chipsets do use DDR3, no?), so i'd have to get it off newegg regardless.
I feel like i had more questions but in my flurry of excitement i've lost them.
Hopes*:
Mag-latch
Black Chicklets (back-lit)
Higher MP iSight
(obviously) Centrino 2
Higher Resolution Screen
2.5 to 2.8 GHz
Dreams**:
Blu-Ray
Glass Trackpad (with a screen underneath) (multitouch)
13.3" / 1680 x 1050 (if not higher)
2.8 to 3.06 GHz
iSight HD
slot for iPhones sim card
SDHC card slot
4GB Ram Standard 8 GB option
iTunes Games For Mac Store <3
Black Apple Logo (back-lit)
*I expect all of these
**I expect none of these, with the exception of Blu-ray mayyybe, and a glass trackpad, doubtfully.
IM SO EXCITED I CANT HELP BUT ACT LIKE A NEWBIE, IM SORRY.
EDIT: I knew i forgot something, i know this question has been asked to hell and back, but i feel as though i have a unique situation:
Glossy Vs. Matte (no dont close the window just yet, keep reading, please)
First off- is this only something you can do build to order or do they have different SKU's for both?
Second off- I take alot of pictures and i edit alot of pictures, I mostly take pictures of live bands, but i never print my photos because they usually just put them on their websites, myspaces, etc. So exact color isnt really a huge thing for me, and i like the bright popping colors that glossy offers, plus i have a cinema display for when i DO need correct colors, so i guess i basically just answered my own question and should go with glossy... but is there anything else i should think/know about first?
thanks for any replies.
