Can't wait to see what the 2012 models look like. Maybe stock 256gb SSDs, core i7 processors, and maybe if we're lucky, they'll bring back the old nvidia graphics cards, or at least better radeons. Wouldn't mind paying $1400 for the baseline 13" if they had all that and still 5+ hours of battery life. They can even keep the 4gb Ram, I'll just upgrade that on my own! =P

@KeKeKeilan You know, I would not be surprised if the 13" MBP is replaced by the next update to the 13" MacBook Air.

@DetroitBORG whats your geekbench score?

[DetroitBORG]

What is VLC?

[DetroitBORG]

@arici19 It's a media playback app, the best there is.

@DetroitBORG i would seriously get ticked off if they got rid of the macbook pro 13 inch

Hey, great video first of all!

How do you manage to put all of those apps and files on just 128gb of storage?

Do you make movies and other projects on external hard drives?

@DetroitBORG can it be used as a primary computer???

[Viperapps]

You should have shown Hibernate instead, as Sleep has nothing to do with HDD/SSD since the session is loaded into RAM.

Propberly because adobe flash and osx doesnt like each other. watching youtube with html5 would do the trick.

I think the RAM size affects these tests by a lot too.

[skittleschocolate]

@TheApplefan4life nothing man, that has nothing to do with hard drive, or ram. it's your graphics processor fans. that happens to me on ichat in full screen, and happens to everyone else as well. you're okay haha but there's no way to avoid it.

@khyzizle You can download the app from the Mac App Store to play the game. Costs money I think.

Is that the official SSD or other brand
