Right! If was related to him I probably would have given him a fight club style face beating by now. It's a flipping computer, it would look NO better or worse if it had a few more ports. I am actually surprised an employee hasn't tried to assault him cause I would go freaking crazy hearing his stupid rhetoric by now.
Got a tip for us?

what PC manufacturers need it do is to step up their build qualities. i still wouldnt buy a PC with an i5 and a AMD 6650 if the screen is crap, glossy bezel, keyboard flex, and a fan that wheezes in and out as if it had as if it had asthma.
acer's 3820TG would have been the perfect laptop if it had a better screen, better keyboard, better durability, etc. you wouldnt even have to change the form factor, just the overall build quality. but no its crap.
i want to see silver outside and black inside
as in like the top and bottom part. that would be awesome
That, and it's still wrapped in the plastic so it reflects differently. And that "black thing" as others have said so eloquently is the handle. Seriously - if you (original questioner) can't figure these things out, you should NOT own a $1,000 + computer. Or perhaps a computer at all. Fisher Price has some great playsets .
And if they want to ask go ahead, but they're not. They are all complaining that the base model 13" mb(p) wont run games at maximum settings with integrated graphics. I want them to show me a similar laptop with the same specs battery life and aluminum construction that is the same size has as nice of a display and weighs the same. If you dont like apple products you are on the wrong site. The last refresh was a dissapointment, but the i5 is a huge improvement.
You might want to take a look at Anandtech and NotebookCheck's reviews. They are on the hunt for similar ideals.
ah ok, I was just judging by apple.com's newish banner color. which I think would be beautiful in a laptop.
another troll?
on another thread you told a guy to sell his 2010 model to a "moron" and get this on ASAP...
you seem a little confused.
Randomly talked to someone who is in at Apple and has a testing model. He just got it today but he confirmed all the specs that have been posted in this thread. He's using it now. Said it's definitely an upgrade over the current 13''. No info on the 15 or 17'' or which upgrade options for the 13''.
Please. It is no coincidence that this person is showing only the same viewpoint as the other leaked photos. Do you know how easy it is to photoshop a damn lightning bolt on top of that port? It's also funny how that symbol is the darkest of them all in most of the pics - almost looking black - even when shown with flash. I call BS. Oh and those screenshots could take literally a moment to create. The guy wanted attention as "the guy who leaked the Macbook Pros" and you all have already given him 3 pages worth.
This isnt a MBP. Its a MB. Why? Because it doesnt have an optical audio in. It shows optical audio out and analog audio out but know inny.
I rest my case. My 3 and a bit ear old Blackbook has optical audio in FFS!
The new 13" Macbook alu will launch tomorrow and we will see the new liquid metal 15 and 17"next week at the event. Cant believe how no one else picked that up. That theory coupled with why the poster isnt putting any images up of the new box only the I/O slots would point towards the white MB getting axed (at last) and the 13" MB Alu being the entry level laptop for Apple.
i picked up on it
i posted my theory on te second thread i said..okay its official..the 15 and 17 will be completely different and i think they are coming on march 2nd. like last time with the airs. i think also that tomorrow once the 13inch are updated they will post something explaining how the macbook pro 15 and 17s are coming so the people on macrumors dont go over to the apple store and knock some people out
I'm not doubting you, but I have a challenge for you (or anyone who reads this): photoshop an image like any of the ones leaked today yourself and post it here. Don't use any of the supposed "leaked" photos to help; use only images available before today. I know it sounds strange, but I just want to see how easy it really is to photoshop a thunderbolt or some specs onto a box. I would do it myself, but I don't have photoshop.
Does anyone else think it's funny that there's white space around the screen captured Facetime, About windows? I mean, wouldn't it have been easier to screen capture just the window rather than crop out a section of the entire desktop? Maybe I'm thinking too much...
Alright everyone, here it is:
13" MacBook - i5 2.3GHz, HD 3000 graphics, 1280x800, no SSD (like the specs we're seeing)
13" MacBook Pro - i5 ~2.6Ghz, HD3000 graphics, 1440 by 900, 16GB SSD
15" MacBook Pro - i5 ~3Ghz, dedicated graphics, 16GB SSD Combo or 180GB SSD
17" MacBook Pro - i7 ~3.5Ghz, dedicated graphics, 32GB SSD Combo or 256GB SSD
The "Pro" will be used to deliniate the new SSD OS drive. That will be the marketing kicker, since it'll be seen as a very novel idea. We already know the plastic MacBook is going away, but that's mostly because plastic looks very dated. There will still be a computer in it's price range, but it will be a unibody, hence this 13" that we're seeing now. There will still be a 13" pro, and it will have SSD and high resolution display.
As for dedicated graphics in a 13"? Get real. Not going to happen. I think you'll be happy with the resolution and SSD in the end, but prepare for the reality that we're not going to see dedicated graphics in a 13". Not now, maybe not ever.

Sorry for trying to steal your thunder there Ldellx3! Your are right though, i dont think I caould handle just another minor update to the 'Pro' range. As Ive mentioned on other posts, Apple need to separate the MB / MBP line. The MBA is very much faster in every application when compared to the current and now this leaked 13" MB(P?).
Ive got a feeling that Apple are gonna surprise us next week!

Are you speculating or stating fact? If fact, what do you have to back this up?
