I'm sure you could have done a better job right, why aren't you running Apple then, smart one.They won't. Not when you can get a PC that has better specs, more ports, more featurs, etc than the Macs at 1/3rd the price. Apple is going to lose it's audio/video/photo crowd also. This update does nothing for anybody except people that just want to look cool and spend a couple extra $1000 for no reason. Apple should just stick to working on new pink toy ipods and stay out of the computer thing. Their only decent laptop is the current macbook pro, which has a faulty gpu that could blow up and kill you instantly. That's the best mac has to offer though. The fact that they lied about the problem and just kept selling these is amazing too. What a classy company. A hobo off the street could have pulled off a better notebook update than this. Steve Jobs = Genius
Huh? I said "ever since SJ took over, it's been all about form over function". I didn't say form over function doesn't sell -- it does, as anyone who has ever seen women's shoes would know. The fact that 12" heels sell, doesn't make them practical.So why then have Apple grown to the size they are now under Steve Jobs, he must know something that your surely don't.![]()
I still don't understand the animosity towards glossy screens. For the 99.99% of us that don't do graphic design (the userbase has shifted, folks), the glossy screens provide great contrast on video, look great with games, etc. A choice would be nice, but for most people glossy is the way to go anyway.
Well if there is a depression then all you "professionals" are going to be looking for work...coz the second thing that gets cut is advertising (slightly after the coffee machines and water coolers).
No they are actually growing, I mean aren't they supposed to be dead now, I'm glad Apple doesn't listen to the crap in this forum.If the prices are true, apple is dying.
I just read the original Daring Fireball article. That guy is hilarious.

Genius.
And my personal favorite:
QFT!Apple would be the first company in the world that downgrades a laptop from 2.4 to 2.0GHz and calls it an upgrade! Than the keynote will be presented in this manner:
STEVE
Our macbooks came with a processor
giving us 2.4GHz. That was great,
but we made it even better.
The new Macbooks will deliver,...
BOOM!
2.0GHz!
In the background we can here crickets, while Steve was hoping for an ecstatic audience.

Funny. No doubt. XDFunny yes, laughable... are you sure that's what you meant?
I always belive people who think I'm bitching...
Maybe all they'll release is a Steve Jobs plush toy...
Eek about the glossy screens. I'm into everything but the gloss and the bezel. I'm gonna end up buying it anyways though, I need the power!
Okay...something is fishy here. Macrumors *usually* never posts every single little tidbit rumor....especially on the front page. The sheer fact that there is so many inconsistencies makes me think everything is wrong and that I should just give up trying to figure Apple out.
Oh, and I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that Apple would hold onto a macbook with a completely different design at the entry level....it doesn't make business sense nor does it really fit into the "Apple" corporate mentality...IMO.
