vollspacken,
I'm with you, I'm also frustrated at the lack of a compelling price-performance ratio in the Apple portable line right now. I have the same opinion as you in that I don't really need DVD-R, just a better value and maybe a better video card and bluetooth. $3200 for an 800MHz laptop? They're not getting that from me, that's for sure. I'd also consider the 14inch iBook, but paying $1800 for a laptop that has the absolute minimum video card to run the current OS, and cannot be upgraded, is a veto. It seems that something good is on the horizon, and we just need to be patient. It looks like it'll be January.
Evidence points to the possibility that they had planned to get updates in the last few weeks: certain promotions running out, pulling all refurbs off the site, and that it had been 8 mos since the last update (typical upgrade time). But it appears that something went wrong and they had to delay, thus refurbs are back and new promos in place (2x RAM, new monitor promo, Office suite) to tide us over until the new stuff comes out in January.
But at least then, the new ones SHOULD be comparatively compelling, and there just may be a cool new monitor to get as well.

No. The iBook G4 has an IDE interface, while the MacBook Pro is SATA.

My early 2008 Macbook Pro just died after two and a half years. When I brought it into the Apple Store, they said my logic board had failed and wasn't my nVidia 8600GT. $1,100 to replace. I said no thanks.
I'll be needing a laptop this Sept for school and the new Macbook Pros look awesome. Is there anything about them I should be afraid of?? I don't want it to break down.

Sorry for double posting, but only use jdusoccer12's link if you DO NOT have an Apple Store nearby because it will temporary charge 20 dollars if you don't send it in by 10 ten days... bleh...
Ok, so the solution is not to avoid using the link, but rather to make sure you send the faulty cable back.

I spoke to one of my dealers today and they offered me two demo 20" ACDs for c250$ less than the 23".
I do hobby video and photos with no chance of going pro. The two things that bug me about the two displays are 1. the "gap", especially when watching DVDs (can I?) and 2. I loose c150pixels in height vs the 23", important for portrait mode, or is 150 something I should get over??!!
Thanks - you've steered me right so far, guys! :)
Hmm. Good question.
I bought a 20" dell 2005FPW about a year ago.. yeh it was a great price and yeh I wanted a big screen... but I'm kicking myself now that I didn't spring for the 24". The 20" is a bit small.... but two, you'd have to make the call.
I hate the gap created by dual screens. If it were me, I'd go for the 23", but I'm picky. I think the two 20" makes more cost effective sense, but screw it... go for the 23" and you won't rerget buying the small screens later.
We're talking $1200 price range for two 20"?

Count me in! I'm still thinking about what Apple store to head to though, I usually try to avoid the Fashion Valley one because it's always so crowded there. I'll probably end up a Fashion though. I'll be in line by 3 or 4 depending on how long the line is. :)

Or I'd be linking to this one (http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14342) that I still need to shrink down again after everyone kept asking me for larger pictures.

I've always thought that the 'S' was a one time thing used to get the numbering right on the iPhone's sequence, because the iPhone 2 had the number 3 in its name. I think this year's model will just be named iPhone 5.
Screw that. I vote they move towards a naming system like with OSX. Instead of using big cats, they use fruit.
Next iteration of iPhone = iPhone Banana.
After that, iPhone Papaya.

This is just a headsup and wake-up call to the rumor mongers. I think people don't understand the difference between "rumors" and "reality".
"Rumors" are reports/stories/sources that indicate possibilities in the future. Some may come true, some may not.
"Reality" involves things that are publically released by the companies we are discussing.
Just keep this in mind... and it's something I've seen people in other forums and sites talk about.... they talk as if the 7470 chip actually exists and Apple just isn't using them.
The 7470 chip is what we call a "rumor". This chip does not officially exist. To use it to complain about "Why doesn't Apple use the damn 7470 in the PowerMacs!" is the same as complaining about why "Apple doesn't use Santa Claus to build Power Macs" or "Why doesn't Apple use the damn Easter Bunny to build PowerMacs"
Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the 7470 are all equally as "real"

TMZ, and other radio stations here in LA, call this album a pure handout made for executives to capitalize on the death of MJ. Christmas season, cmon they want people to buy this and make huge money out of a guy that is dead.... and people are saying these aren't even his words. MJ was a perfectionist and this album is Britney Spears material. The first song or single is about MJ talking about himself in first person....with a weird techno beat...highly unusual of him
Well that's all I heard about the criticism of his new album
This, along with the fact that it doesn't sound like him stood out to me right away. I have only heard the track 'Breaking News' but it doesn't sound to me as if it is him. He always seemed humble to me and even though he achieved so much i can never once remember him bragging at all. The way the song goes he is really bigging himself up. Just sounds so wrong. Also i can only really hear him on certain background parts of the chorus. The rest sounds like an impostor. :mad:

When Doom 3 was most recently shown to the public (at QuakeCon in August), it was running on a Radeon 9700 using a Pentium 4 chip (either 2.2 or 2.4 GHz).
As for Carmack's comments, remember that he said that the best experience with Doom 3 as of now, not when the game will be released, is with a Radeon 9700. By the time the game is out the door I'm sure the 9700 will be relegated to "not quite the best" status.
And yes, I have heard that ATI may well put out a 9700-on-steroids model late in the fall, but we'll have to see how it compares to the NV30.

So, no one thinks the additional 150ish pixels of height is worth it, then?? (for the 23")
...Actually as I indicated in my post, the extra height in pixels is worth it, especially for photo work.
Another thought.. do the demo screens come with the full warranty?

The 6g's touch screen is nothing more than a gimmick to retain people that can't afford an iTouch. Too bad it can't do anything like the iTouch besides look like it.
Lose video playback, lose a camera and lose physical controls buttons, all for the same price point? No thanks!
