No.

Remember how when the first MacBook Pro was just introduced? It was a 15", and at the time the 12" and 17" PowerBooks were still being sold... Same story here, First the 15" is introduced, then a month or two later the 17" will be.

Did you read what he said over at DF?

"..but there is no 17-inch model with the features or appearance of the new 15-inch Pro."

"I don’t know if the 17-inch revision is simply forthcoming, or whether it’s being phased out. My hunch is that it’s being phased out."

Meaning, there will be no more 17" MBP or that it will be replaced with a computer that is totally different than the 15". Not just a "bigger brother" if you will.
 
All this thread is so useless, thousands of words because of some rumors.
Relax, wait, see the updates and then decide.
Remember Apple's notebook strategy: (R)evolutionary.
Please.

Trackpad itself IS a button? GENIUS!!!!!!!
Click to expand...
I think it could be very clumsy doing certain things - like clicking and dragging. Apple keeps trying to reinvent the mouse. All you need is multi-touch and two buttons. The rest is a gimmick as far as I'm concerned.
 
new MBP? no thanks, with these rumors it looks like the MacPro will save us all.
To people that dont use the pro as a creation tool: please enjoy your glossy screen!!
 
Ha!

No matte screen on the MacBook Pro???? Time to say goodbye to Apple for me. It was nice as long as it lasted.
Guess this is my last post on this forum.
Bye, bye.

dude, chill out and wait to see offical word :rolleyes:
 
Come to think of it, it looks like they're nixing the pro, but keeping the monicker and adding the aluminium to sell it to idjits who will buy it "no matter what" and in order to "show off". :(

It will be glossy-only, and here's why.
Once they decided to go with the alu iMac-design and have the glass cover the entire display and the black bezel around it, the glass also covers the camera. You can't have the camera behind matte glass.

!? Why do you do any color critical work on a laptop screen to begin with? You should really look at getting something like one of the nice LaCie monitors that have the port to plug your colorimeter directly in.

I was thinking the same thing.
 
these last rumors are really doubting....
everyone is trying to get in the spotlights because they have these strange rumors.

why would apple wants to make their specs worse then the old one FROM FEBRUARI.. makes no sense, so dont believe it

I'd really love to know why all of you people hate glossy so much? What's the big deal?

My girlfriend is in her third year studies of graphic design and she's using an iMac 24" at home for all her work. It's glossy and she doesn't seem to suffer from it being glossy? What in fact is there to hate about a glossy screen? I just don't seem to get it all.

Besides she's also in the waiting game like all the rest of us to update her iBook with a new MacBook. And I'm looking to buy my first Mac Notebook! A 15" MBP please. One that will also be capable to play Starcraft 2 / Diablo 3 at high quality with decent fps. And for the rest I'll use in combination with my M-Audio musical equipment / dj stuff.

the imac screen is much different than the MB/P screen.

matte is much better for photography. glossy colours tend to be righter, yes, but i've found the colours on a matte screen to be much more accurate to real life.
 
The whole design looks and sounds pretty cool to me, I'm also a bigger fan of glossy screens so all good with me!

The glass trackpad though I can see that cracking or something.
 
LOL! This is funny! All these people crying over a glossy finish....

I said it twice already I'll say it again:


IF YOU ARE A REAL PROFESSIONAL YOU DONT DO COLOR CRITICAL WORK ON A LAPTOP SCREEN


If you do, then it obviously isnt that color critical so quit crying. Hook your laptop to an external monitor (just like I and many many others do) and do all your color critical stuff on there! Simple!
 
Mr.X.

Hi All,

I am Mr.X.

I can confirm that the leak about the White MacBook is in fact correct.

The new product code is MB402LL/B. I am surprised no-one has discovered this yet.

In the past you will see when they change the "A" to a "B" it is just a simple speed bump.

For example MB062LL/A was the White MacBook 2.16GHz. They released the White MacBook 2.2 which was MB062LL/B.

The current Placeholder code for the MB402LL/B is K36+ GOOD BTR-USA.

Enjoy.

The Rumor about the LED Apple Display is also true. It's description in the system is: Apple LED CINEMA DISPLAY - USA.

The batteries also have not been disclosed yet. Here are the codes MB771LL/A - BATTERY 13-INCH MACBOOK.
MB772LL/A - BATTERY 15-INCH MACBOOK PRO.

I can also confirm that M98 is the MBP. M97 is the new MacBook.

This also explains why there is no other battery's listed. MBA don't have replaceable batteries, the MBP 17" is rumored to be left as is hence no need making a new battery. The new revision white MacBook will use the existing MA561LL/A battery. Which leaves the two MacBook and MacBook Pro with batteries.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr.X.
 
If this is true for MBP, the reasons why I will re-think which notebook to buy (currently I do not own any notebook and any Apple product except an iPod touch) will be: no option of a matte display and no updates or weak updates of the CPU and the RAM. Besides (although this is not going to affect my choice), I do not like the dual-colourness. Seriously, am I the only one who dislikes this gray colour of pure aluminium for MBP (does that not look boring? it looks better for other devices, however) and dislikes even more the gray-and-black scheme? I love so much the colour of the current white MacBook.

What is wrong with choice, I personally have a glossy MB and would trade it in an instant for a Matte screen due to personal preference.

Simple.

Which would be a damn shame; the 15" is much too small for me. If they'd intro a 18" - chances are that would be a 16:9 would it not? - if so, damn shame since 16:9 is crap. Good for watching movies, crap for doing anything else...

Oh well, atleast I still have my 17" MBP without a fisher-price keyboard, with a 16:10 screen and w/o a glossy screen w/ a black frame :)
 
Its funny 90% in this post seem to take this "rumor" as was it said by Jobs himself.

Again "rumors" = non facts, untill clarrified by the ones rumored about.
 
It might be a good idea this trackpad.

I imagine you would also have to be able to use a key for dragging, etc.

Otherwise there would be a problem, I would think.

But I never liked trackpad buttons.

They are awkward.
