So is this the macbook update weve been waiting for?

Yes.

I don't doubt you would mkrishnan but IMO many who are wanting this mythical 12" MBP are expecting the power of the current MBP stuffed into a smaller enclosure without taking into account the heat and battery life issues.

Fair enough, yeah. And after getting a Versace suit, and some Ted Baker shoes to go with it, I might need to cool down my wallet for a while.

Subtle.


I think this update to the macbooks was more than fair. New chips, a .1 lb weight loss, and in a pretty portable machine. I don't know how much more (except maybe in the RAM department...Apple always gets away with less in this area) one could ask for in a consumer notebook.

Death of Combo Drive, increase in base HDD sizes would've been far more satisfying.

And lower Canadian prices.
