I was just wondering what everyone's perfect MBP would be? Here's my example...

Screen- 13.3"

CPU- Core i7 @ 3.0GHz

RAM- 16GBGB 1067MHz DDR3 RAM

SSD- 1TB, 300MB/s Read & 300MB/s, MAX OUT SATAII :D

Graphics- NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 280M in SLI, with ability to use only one at a time or in Snow Leopard use the unused graphics card to offload processes from the CPU

Keyboard- Backlit, basically the same.

Trackpad- Made from glass, multitouch, about a inch winder and a screen that can display my itunes screen.

Speakers- Higher quality then the current speakers in the uMBP 08'. The current one's sound horrible when playing certain music.

Battery Life- 8Hrs of life with integrated, 6Hrs with SLI.

Slot Loading Blu-Ray Drive with Read + Write. (as well as DVD+R DL & CD-R etc.)

Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR with Wifi integration. I'm not sure what it's called but it will speed up the data transfer by using Wifi.

-----
Ports:
-Dual FW3200
-Dual USB 3.0
-Magsafe Connector
-Dual MiniDisplay Port (Give or take)
-Ethernet 10/100/1000
-Expresscard 2.0
-SD Slot (Don't want to have to depend on the Expresscard for this)
-Headphone/ Mic in
-eSata+USB Port (Love the self powered port for eSata 2.5" drives)


All for $2000 :p....o_O or I would sell my soul for it
 
Is there even room for that many ports?!?! I'd like all that, in a MBA pacakge, please and thank you :)
 
Hmm...you have a point maybe 15" screen instead, with 1200 resolution? I thought of the port placement and there looks to be enough room if the battery indicator was removed and the SD slot was placed by the Blu-ray slot. The dual MiniDisplay port would be nice but I wouldn't use it that much so it's only a bonus, but the eSata+USB port, at least one FW3200 port, SD Slot, Blu-Ray Drive, Dual (Triple?) USB 3.0 and Express card 2.0 would be FANTASTIC. The SLI cards would be pretty impressive combined with the Core i7 CPU and Snow Leopards ability to offload CPU stress onto the unused graphics card when only one is used...
 
Well if we are in fantasy land:

15" OLED screen 1680x1050 resolution
3.06GHz Core Duo2 (or whatever the current CPU is called)
Nivida GT9600M is OK.
Less border space around the screen for smaller dimensions
.75 inches thick
4.5 pounds
500GB SSD
8GB RAM
Firewire 800, 2 USB3, audio in and out, SD card slot
802.11N & bluetooth 2.1

See, I'm easy! :D
 
- 15" Matte LED-backlit LCD with 1680x1050 resolution
- The keyboard from the original MacBook Pro
- 2x USB 2.0, 1x FW800, 1x FW400, ExpressCard 34, Mini DisplayPort, Audio-in, Audio-out
- 802.11N WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, Infrared
- Nvidia GeForce GTS 250M & GeForce 9400M, with on-the-fly switching based on load and power source (AC vs. battery)
- Modular optical drive bay (ability to swap for hard drive) with hot swapping
Ability to hold down 'w' key to boot into Windows
- 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo
- 4GB DDR3 (expandable to 8GB)
- 1TB Western Digital Scorpio Blue
- Blu-Ray burner
- Remote that fits in the ExpressCard slot when not in use and for charging

You forgot the included first aid kid and fire extinguisher for those small incidents where it ignites nearby flammables from sheer heat output!
