Macworld SF 2003 part 2

If you could only ever see one Macworld keynote with Steve Jobs, this would be it. In the final half hour of this Macworld, Mr. Jobs was at the top of his game with the audience completely eating out of his hand. Apple had the technology introductions to back it up too: the world's first 17in widescreen notebook, the first full featured 12in notebook, first ever introduction of 802.11g, first ever backlit keyboard, first introduction of firewire 800. With each introduction the audience goes crazy, and Steve continues to bring them out with perfect salesman timing.

In the 2nd part he begins with just how much Apple is investing in wireless, and ends with the introduction of the 12in powerbook. The baby powerbook would go on to become one of the most lusted after powerbooks ever, definitely a favorite among users even today after its been replaced by the macbook series.

Basically when they introduced this notebook, they provided the blueprint for their pro line to this day. Little has actually changed, the internals are different and they're unibody now, but they've pretty much remained the same since 2003. Interesting and impressive.

$3299? You can get a Mac Pro for less nowadays. It's so amazing how technology and their prices evolve.

[Millahtime]

Its funny how a computer design thats 6 years old is still by far the best in the business. The only thing thats better is the new design that replaced it 5 years after. Just shows how ahead of their own time they are, Jon Ive is the best designer in the world.

Wow the 17" Macbook Pro now is $2,499 Canadian. Times have changed.

[mosesgee]

[iMacOviasProduction1]

The guy at 7:41 is most likely thinking "Ima steal that!" 

[gwaits70]

Steve says something, people clap... He says something again, people clap... He talks about headphone jacks, people clap... and in his head, he says "shut the fk up and let me finish" XD

[bronpedullasmith]

@HeWantsMoney yeah i know, it just makes me feel better about my netbook

[HeWantsMoney]

@bronpedullasmith On almost every laptop *now*, not then.

[Airman32292]

"it has bluetooth built in" haha funny if you were to say that now they'd be like "no shit" crazy how the tech evolves

[bronpedullasmith]

wow I love how everyone is like so excited about features that are standard on almost every laptop

[zjzjn1]

At 5:36 my laptop has none of them. And I bought it in 2009!

[candymancan667]

@OI8APC2 damn. all i know is the heat sink is right at the bottom and it hurts like a bitch. but if yours is worse than im deeply sorry =P

[OI8APC2]

@JSantana319 Yeah, and 7 years from now, you'll be able to get a quintuplet core I15 quintcore 6.9ghz 25gb ram, and 25tb SSD for 4,500. Technology will always grow. Its good to see prices haven't much!!

[OI8APC2]

@candymancan667 Huh? Are you talking about the case getting hot? Have you put a pc notebook on your thighs lately? Those get about twice as hot. The aluminum dissipates heat well. I usually put a towl on my lap if wearing short. If wearing pants, I don't notice anything.

[candymancan667]

if only my macbook pro didnt singe my thighs..

[tutorialconr]

@theTapiwaman Yeah... Apple Lisa was $9999.99 ! :D

[JSantana319]

for $3299 I can get a 15 inch 2.4GHz i5 Macbook Pro with 4GB of RAM, 512GB SSD

[PurushaDesa]

Gotta love Jonny Ive. I'm not exactly a monarchist, but he definitely deserved his knighthood.

[dtownkid]

$3299?!! wow

[durres21]

the 12 inch power book is the best computer in the world. I still use it as my main laptop and it is running like new. Never had a problem with it in its 5th year.

[MixesAndStuff]
