My wants for the new MacBook aren't overzealous like some's. Many of these features I expect but do not demand. For them all to be included would be a blessing.

Aluminium casing redesign
Superior graphics
Supperior battery life
Superior heat management
LED monitor
Backlit keyboard
Matte screen options
Multitouch

If they give the 14" aluminium MacBook a smaller bezel then there will be an illusion of it looking smaller, thus the size difference would not be noticeable/"negligible".

good point. now it would be awesome:D
 
Well I'm off to return my MBP.

I'll let you guys know if I find the new sku's in the system which I'm confident that I will.

:D Cheers.

(I'll get pics if possible.)

Thanks. I interested in seeing what you are going to post. :D ;)
 
If they round the edge on the new macbooks and I don't get banned again then I will buy a new macbook.

That would mean those macbook leaks weren't legit, no?

are you making fun of us

you know what, I DON'T CARE

if those are the real pictures i am so glad i got mine a month ago, i love btw. The black and the aluminum clash so bad, it looks like a blind kid picked the colors. terrible try at fake pics.

No they don't. Black and aluminum is cool.
 
An nVidia chipset should give the MB a decent boost in graphics performance. I'm still waiting for Nehalem though :p

Seconded. A thousand times seconded. October 14th can't come soon enough!

Most of the complaints are centered around the 1920*1200 -> 1920*1080 transition. 1440*900 -> 1600*900 isn't a downgrade, and although 1280*800 -> 1366*768 is a downgrade in height, the greater increase in width makes up for most of that.

Are we reading the same forum? ;) No, honestly, I'm complaining about all laptop screens. We get either a smaller screen or a bigger dot. Either way it's a downgrade. And I still insist MB and MBA would suffer most. I hope Apple isn't going to do that to us.

Is there something inbetween 1600x900 and 1920x1080? I'd love THAT on a 15/16" MBP.

Also, if the MB and MBP go to 14/16/18", I hope the MBA goes to 12".

Why are you being so cruel? I'd have to go for MB then to get a usable screen, but it'd be almost 1kg more, and so I'd likely decide to get a refurbished 13" Air that is already a year old and that's much for a not upgradeable computer... You are evil, you know :p.

Yes, Nehalem is the real deal. Any idea when we might see it in the MacBooks? Spring 2009?

I'd say it's more like spring 2010. They're only two mobile Nehalem CPUs, Clarksfield scheduled to Q4 2009 and Auburndale to Q1 2010. Unless Intel actually managed to release them earlier rather than delaying it a few times ;).

As far as I'm aware the mobile version of Nehalem doesn't hit until the later half of 2009. But at least by then Snow Leopard will be out so it will be a good time to upgrade. I love my little MacBook anyway, Autumn 2009 is time enough for me :D
