"All right, Mr. ... uh ... Death ... Ninja? I have you booked from San Jose to Ho Chi Minh City, and just an overnight stay, right? You may have to check that stack of metal stars you have there with your luggage. Enjoy your vacation, sir!"
People don't buy existing products once they see that new ones will be better. If the leaks don't happen, then people buy products now and then when new ones come out they can't resist and they buy those too.
It may sound silly but the angled power cord is a very nice improvement over the previous design. The power cord goes straight back and makes for a VERY clean desktop.

Look, these product leaks are not showing up on the radar of Joe Consumer.
Trust me, I'm an AAPL shareholder, I read the SEC filings.

Quarter after quarter, Apple posts record breaking sales. They weren't even terribly affected by the recession of late 2008. Once a year, I fill out my proxy ballot and happily re-elect the board of directors, including Steven P. Jobs.
Leaks such as this one aren't translating into significant lost sales. If they are, go dig up the financial numbers that prove your point and post them here.
I would so buy one of these if it were $799. But the iPad had to come in and mess things up
Think about it like the iPad with real multitasking, much more storage, USB ports, full blown iWork, actual printing, working WiFi, and attached keyboard.
I believe that's the Apple R.E.A.C.T ops trying to get in the door.
It's not a mistake, it's market segmentation. They want pro features like FW to be on a kinda-Pro model
Don't forget the ultra-pro backlit keyboards. If you don't have that you can't produce music and movies like a pro
As they aren't meant to compete with each other, please buy both.I would so buy one of these if it were $799. But the iPad had to come in and mess things up

personal insults? I haven't given any personal insults read my response or don't respond.
I have read the entire thread and all I've seen is you display your ignorance repetitively. I worked in a plastic manufacturing plant and let me tell you, it is not hard to recycle something that pops out of a plastic mold injection machine, you just grind it up and put it back in the pellet bin. It's just a machine that poops out pieces of plastic every 30 seconds or so and i could ruin about 50 products per day and no one would notice any problem because polycarbonate doesn't cost anything. and the part about the aluminum on the bottom, it's not machined out like the MBP. so again. you're just wrong.
Please buy both. They aren't meant to compete with each other.

Haha will do. I promise.
On the other hand, we have to take your word that it costs about the same without any proof, even though your statement is the one that goes against common sense. Sure, they cost the same even though cheap laptops from almost every manufacturer comes in plastic enclosures. Yeah, they make sense, no need for a proof, thanks...
Sounds like a factory is going to be losing Apple's business.
I'm getting sick of all these leaks. I enjoy being surprised.

Wrong
Not only had no other computer manufacturers use the water jet machining process to produce laptops before Apple did, none have begun to do so since.
It's easy to extrapolate [work out] why that is. It's clearly a superior process, allowing single part production with high degrees of accuracy and increased overall strength compared with pressed aluminium manufacture. That's obvious.
Blow moulding polycarbonate, on the other hand, has been around for a long time and is used for producing millions of different products. The list is almost endless. Ubiquity alone has a reduction effect on cost, both in terms of materials and process.
No one needs to provide proof of such facts. If a $2 product the size of a washing up bowl can be manufactured from polycarbonate... do I really ned to complete this sentence?

These aren't rumors anymore! With rumors, there's always the possibility that they're not true, and people keep guessing with nobody knowing for sure until the official product launch or announcement.
Would you rather see Steve Jobs on stage introducing a new product or would you prefer to find out about it from some Vietnamese guy with freaky finger nails?
"piss people off. I've never seen someone just respond to every ***** person that they could find something to disagree about. Get off the computer, stop acting like you know everything"
You want to talk about condescending? That's it right there.
Just started reading from below, more insults.
"I have read the entire thread and all I've seen is you display your ignorance repetitively."

Guess what buddy... aluminum doesn't cost a thing either making your argument null and void. You think aluminum costs more to manufacture than plastic when both can be recycled? Give me a break. Both of the manufacture processes costs are incredibly easy and cheap.

Have read and UNDERSTOOD the thread
Don't waste your time? Don't make me laugh! The value of your time is irrelevant to me as it is to you. Your comments have been discredited and you have no answer.

The white Macbook is entry level and it is the cheapest laptop that Apple sells, did you really expect it to come with 4 gigs of RAM? That is an extremely unrealistic thought. If 4 gigs of RAM is very important to you, then just install it yourself. RAM is dirt cheap nowadays. It's so simple to do, even a caveman can do it. The same goes for the disk drive. You don't like 5400 RPM? Well, you can install whatever you like in place of that, including a 7200 RPM or SSD or whatever you fancy.

You think Apple's manufacturing process for the aluminum MacBook Pro's is so special? Don't make me laugh! Common sense tells you that a $2 product the size of a washing bowl can be made from aluminum... do I really need to complete this sentence?
