New MacBook's 13, 15, 17 inch
So now the 13 inch MacBook truly is a MacBook Pro!
I was always amazed at how close the new MacBook Unibody was close to being a MacBook Pro!
Now it is!
I am actually happy be cause I have a replaceable battery =)
But firewire, 2.53GHz upgrade and SD card reader make it kind of compelling, but I will keep my 2.4GHz Unibody until October when there should be another upgrade
13 incher:
- $1199. 13" MacBook Pro. 2.26GHz. 2GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400. 160GB HD. Firewire
- $1499. 13" MacBook Pro. 2.53GHz. 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400. 250GB HD. Firewire
15 and 17 inchers:
Three standard 15" MacBook Pro configurations are offered:
- $1699. 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM. NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, 250GB HD. Firewire.
- $1999. 2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM. NVIDIA GeForce GT. 320GB HD. Firewire.
- $2299. 2.8 GHz, 4 GB RAM. NVIDIA GeForce GT . 500 GB HD. Firewire.
Additional options include:
- Up to 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo
- Up to 8 GB RAM
- Up to 500 GB HDD or 256 GB SSD
And some nice price cuts
This makes the new MacBook Pro's extremely competitive with PC's more than ever before!
Paired with Mac OS X SNOW LEOPARD 10.6 it will many PC's (Until Windows 7 comes out)
Which will have GPGPU and way better Multi Core Support
FOR ALL MICRO$OFT TROLLS: MACS HANDLE GHz BETTER THAN WINDOWS
SO NOW THAT SNOW LEOPARD HAS COME OUT THIS WILL MAKE IT EVEN BETTER
What do you guys think about these new MacBooks?
PS: I will be getting the new iPhone 3GS though ! ! !
June 19th I will be sitting at my driveway with binoculars, nutricious foods, lots of water and a high ink flow pen to sign rapidly and have a sanitized table ready to get going with my oh so beautiful iPhone ASAPLast edited by Beatsiz; 8th June 2009 at 04:47 PM.

Re: New MacBook's 13, 15, 17 inch
they've removed the older unibody models from the store, was hoping they be selling them at a lower price?

Re: New MacBook's 13, 15, 17 inch
I don't think you understand...
FASTER PROCESSOR, FIREWIRE, SD CARD READER, LONGER BATTERY LIFE, MORE RAM all for the SAME price...
Stop complaining, you either get this, or you go get a netbook
But yeah, you can definitely get the old ones off of MacMall etc...
Just wait a couple weeks and you'll find a 2.4GHz MacBook Unibody for under $999, you can probably even find that right nowGateway P-6831FX: (02/27/08) 8800m GTS|3GB DDR2|2X320GB (7200rpm|5400rpm)|1.66GHZ C2D (-_-")

Re: New MacBook's 13, 15, 17 inch
I just bought the unibody macbook about a week ago....been waiting on the phone for 30min now with apple to see if I can exchange....even with restocking fee I think it would be about $50 more for the new pro with twice the ram, extra processor and firewire/sd card.
