so as long as you go from almost $1100 to almost $1000 its a budget machine? Who comes up with a figure like that and calls it budget! My $600 machine runs the mac os faster, smoother and more efficiently than the mac's own "specialized" hardware.. it's outrageous
Everyone says the same thing about all the new glossy screens being too reflective. Why is the undustry giving up on matt screens? Is the picture actually better? I can't imagine it is. I swear I've seen some LCD TV that still have matt don't they?
These are very cool, but I'm content with my plastic white MacBook. The way I work with my computer doesn't need the new features.
P.S. Apple is NO rip-off. Compare NO viruses, NO bugs, better graphics, faster speeds, compact technology, built-in web cam (before Dell got one), durable metal, backlit keyboard, and much much much more, to standard PCs.
Nice laptop...but its still pointless. If they want to make a statement, sell one for $600-700 to compete against the cheaper PC bottom-end models... since all you can do with something like this is small graphic intensive programs anyway. I would rather spend a bit more and get a laptop with a lot more functionality.
Pointless redesign by apple, a little disappointed tbh. only good thing is the 9400M, but lets see that kill the apple's batteries xD
Problem is that unless you're a hardcore gamer.. stay integrated graphics all the way (i don't know what games there are on macs). Video editing, rendering, animation; all reasonably graph intensive, but done on integrated graphics perfectly!
No, don't send me a message telling me i am a PC fanboy.. i'm not lol, i just think this is not a good thing from apple.
the 9400 m only takes off an hour off the battery..so if your doing graphic intensive things the apparent battery life is 4 hours instead of 5.... so it doesnt kill it that bad...according to apple at least. not sure if anyone has tested this yet.
It will be interesting to see, but then again that is coming from apple pinoyboykev; the apple that told us that ipods never snap in your pocket and the casing on plastic cased macbooks doesn't crack :P
yay for mac lovers!! its much faster than the other non-macs i've had, and better at other things... :) and omg right now i hate it for keep making better, new stuff when i already have my old macbook! now i want that new macbook T,T
My $600 hp laptop kicks expensive macbooks in the nuts. That's insane
isn't it unreal that instead of unveiling amazing technical specs like a large hdd, bluray drives or even memory card slots, all we freaking hear about is "omg. a glass touchpad!"
dude the new macbooks have much faster graphics than before. the Nvdia 9600M are 5x faster. They also have a 320 GB HDD And a 128 GB SDD new this year.
no, you can get a new previous gen MacBook on apple's website for $999. And actually, its really the same price for a PC and Mac with the same specs. People tend to forget that Macs have built in Internet and bluetooth, CD/DVD burner and built in webcam when comparing specs. I found a dell laptop with the same specs actually costs $50 more. Plus, Macs have OSX, which so much better than Vista, i still like XP and used for years but OSX is so advanced and intuitive I have to say Mac is better.
buddy no offense but what the hell are you talking about? EVERY laptop that you buy has wifi & bluetooth and now webcams at like 2mp in addition some even have that whole finger swipe thing and even face recognition. In relation to the CD/DVD burner... i dont even know where to begin- they charge you extra for a slightly decent burner that works half the time (cause its so bloody sensitive)and burns as slow as shit. I have a laptop from 2002 with a better burner. Although i agree, OSX owns vista
I don't like liars. I appreciate you're trying to educate people, but giving us so much false information makes apple look even worse. Especially when we bother to do all the research. A year ago i got a hp laptop with 2 gigs of ram, 160 gig hard drive, dvd burner, "built in internet" and a webcam. All for how much? Not 1,000. I paid $600 out of pocket at circuit city. And that was a year ago
How is OSX better than vista anyway? I'm using vista right now, been using it more than a year and haven't had a single problem with it. Vista is easier and has a cleaner look than xp. Do you just follow propaganda like it's the bible or what?
"lyk ohmfg i gon get this cuz 1t maks me louk koohl cuz aplles cumpyuturs are cool" thats what most people are thinking before they decide to get these new laptops
are you telling me that this MacBook isnt a great piece of hardware? The specs are amazing. The people to say "lyk ohmfg i gon get this cuz 1t maks me louk koohl cuz aplles cumpyuturs are cool" are people who buy the MacBook Air.
