I would seriously reconsider how you treat that guy. You in a serious, decreasing tone announce him a newbie. When I reached 6502 status, I as a joke said: "Silence regular, you're speaking to a 14 year old 6502😛 ."
That cost me 200 posts and a warning.
You cannot base your needs on whether Apple would make a 19" laptop. Looking at the fact that they now deliver a 24" iMac, the chance has grown, yet I stand by my opinion that it would kill the meaning of the word laptop. Apple in addition just lowered their prices for Cinema Displays.
I think he understood that Apple cannot fit in 2x2.5 HDD's in a 1" thick laptop. Yes, it would be possible to have the same type's of disks as iPod's use. 2x80 GB is an impressive 160 GB, of course not at very fast speeds, yet they would benefit more from a single 160 GB 2.5" HDD. RAID isn't that great, and isn't meant for laptops.
No, they're not ridiculosuly expensive. Apple sells 2 GB DIMM's for the iMac at $600. This means a $1999 15.4" rev. B MBP could be bought for $2899 with 4 GB RAM (subtract the $300 for the stock 1 GB RAM). It is very probable that Apple will offer 4 GB in the MBP.
The MBP's aren't hotter than any other laptop. It's only wussies whining about them burning their laps. Though it speaks against all odds that MBP's will have a 7900GT, the guy can fictionate as he wants to. He hasn't been here for a lot of time, and is probably not into what probable predictions are.
I would generally take it easy if I were you, and edit your post before a mod sees it. I didn't report it.😉
i understand your concern, and i appreciate it
i did say those are my opinion, and natually, my opinion is based on my need and my speculation
as to the newbie part.. well, i didn't mean to offend the OP, if OP takes offense, i apologize.. and i understand that the next person comes along can tell me that we've all been newbie, and such, i know.
i respect the right for people to " fictionate ", but i just sigh at people who does so without really consider the possibility of it. these kind of "fictionat"ion goes along the same line of "OMG my macbook shipment got delayed to after <date>(e.g. Aug 7th, Sept 12th, Sept 25th), which means they are releasing new product and even tho i ordered the old one, i'm getting a new one!", i'm sorry, but i can't stand it.. again, personal opinion, not to offend anyone in particular
btw, are you threatening me?

-FW800
-S-video
-DL burner (not so important though)
-and 1gb as a standard
..for me
i'd love the FW800 on every laptop, heck, every computer!
S-video.. can't you convert DVI to S-video? i'd guess they dont want to unnecessarily duplicate ports
DL burner.. i heard it's a bit too big for the current 15", and currently only the 17" can house it...
isn't 1gb the standard for mbp now?
