I'm tempted to make ^this^ my signature and make it a point to stick around this place for another 5 years....because by then, that statement will be 10000x funnier.

hahaha didnt see that, good point!No, thanks. I prefer a full-size straight keyboard...
I just bought a MacBook Pro and think it looks very nice, not outdated or old looking at all.
I see these new Windows lap tops and I think yuck, and I just switched from Windows to the Mac.
The newer Windows lap tops look cheap to me, the MacBook Pro looks solid and fresh.
To each his or her own, but the MacBook Air is not all that different then the MacBook Pro just a little more rounded.
I will keep the current design thank you.![]()
No, thanks. I prefer a full-size straight keyboard...
ummm...yeah ok, and the OP was complaining because the MBP was too square
anyone else?
Macbooks and MacBooks Pros lacks features. If i can remember, Apple don't change the design of macbooks/powerbooks since 2003 the major feature as the illuminated keyb.. also they only added the isight.
Taiwan makers also do better things than Apple:

And Japaneses knows what a speaker is:

iTunes will run great on these portables.
No offence, but those laptops are just terrible design-wise. Waaay too overcrowded with unnecessary "features", don't have the recognisable look and definitely won't last for 5 years like MBP's design did.
Seriously, how would you recognise this laptop in a pile of other PC laptops? Meh...

i suppose a 1949 mercury coupe is an old design as well
as is a 55 chev
hell even the '69 Charger is looking dated now..
but still a MBP design is light years ahead of the windoze competition in the aesthetics stakes.hell sony practically copied them and still is with their vaoi line.
no changes needed thanks.
higher res 15" thats all i can say...
1.The MBP is the one laptop I can recognize at a glance, because of the obvious lighted logo, but mostly because of the form factor. It's aluminum, has an extremely recognizable shape, whether open or closed, no matter what angle you look at it from. It still looks slimmer than any other laptop, as a rule. Anywhere in public, it stands out by a mile. All you see are either MBPs (or MBooks) or a hodgepodge of Brand X laptops at public wifi spots. None of the others are what you would call recognizable. Sure, you can see the logo of a Dell, or Toshiba, or Asus, or HP, or what have you, but nothing about the other designs says anything other than "generic laptop." The MBPs have an identity. Whether they are being used in commercials with the logo obscurred, or they show up in print ads with the logo obscurred, or they are represented in ads by a graphical illustration of a 'laptop' based on the MBP, or they are on desks or being used in TV shows or movies - they are unmistakable. Like a Rolex or a BMW or Mercedes or a Zippo lighter, you always know one at a glance.
2.Sure, that doesn't make it "new," but it sure makes it a thing of value and respect, maybe even desire. You know it's the real deal, not some imitation, or some Chinese copy (despite being contract manufactured in China... meh.) Aesthetically, it's a look that has become synonymous with Apple, so slapping a black keyboard on it for the hell of it, or adding buttons and flashing lights or differing designs every year would ruin this whole identity branding and perception of quality which has been deservedly earned up until now. Succumbing to the "flash" and "bling" design sensibilities would be actually quite anti-Apple.
3.So, whatever change they make will be incremental, and keep the theme going. The subtleties will improve things, manufacturing advances will allow better fit and materials, hard, sharp edges may gradually give way to more natural curves, but the overall affect will remain the same, and to the average person as well as long-time MBP user, the machine will remain instantly recognizable, even after it's updated. As it should be.
get apple stickers on eBay then put them on your pc. If you want "recognition" and good speakers
hahahaha lovely call, i wouldnt trust those speakers.. apple has fairly decent speakers. i wonder what the feasibility of changing the speakers yourself you be??
You're paying more at Apple for a "cheap" design that you ridiculous call it minimalist, state-of-art design, when the true propose is to mislead the consumer to pay more for less.
How would you explain countless design awards Apple is getting for its products? I presume, all these professional juries have also been mislead by Apple?
I Cant wait for the MBP to get a More Rounded look, which is the way the whole Apple Line is going.
But no way does the current design look bad! Its Timeless, you pull it out and people KNOW, because its been around so long, they just know.
Thats the power ofpeople who dont care know its apple.
The Macbook Pro has a timeless look.
Sorry guys about design, but a Macbook is a rounded rectangle, you can even draw it with your hand.
