Apple has gone and done it all over again! Ever since the beginning of this new year they have been rolling out announcements every Tuesday whether it’s a minor color update to the iPod nano or a new iPod Touch update, now it seems that they have updated both the Macbook and Macbook Pro lines. And had they revamped the image of the Macbook I would’ve been one angry sailor since I still want a nice sexy Aluminium Macbook but thankfully they are keeping that under their secret beds until some later release I guess during the year where they update both looks of the Macbook Pro’s and the Macbook’s. And you know they will do that.
So what’s new in the Macbook Pros? Increased Penryn Processor speeds to 2.4Ghz and 2.5Ghz, more hard drive space in between 200GB-250GB, and better Graphics Cards of course. LED-lighting for their 17 inch model. And let’s not forget the beautiful Multi-touch Trackpad that made it’s debut in the Macbook Air. The Macbook Air is literally the 12inch Powerbook G4 now since it’s starting to resemble the Macbook Pro line in its looks but still stay true to its underpowerness of the Macbook line. Prices of the Macbook Pros remain the same.
The Macbooks however are faced with the same increased Penryn Processor speeds of 2.1Ghz and 2.4Ghz, more hard drive space starting at 120GB-250GB, and more RAM from the base model of 1GB to a 2GB standard on the mid and high range Macbooks. Unfortunately nothing else is new there and the prices are the same as well.
$1099. Macbook 13″ 2.1GHz / 1GB / 120GB / Combo / White
$1299. Macbook 13″ 2.4GHz / 2GB / 160GB / Super / White
$1499. Macbook 13″ 2.4GHz / 2GB / 250GB / Super / Black
$1999. Macbook Pro 15″ 2.4GHz / 2GB / 200GB 5400RPM / 256MB Vram
$2499. Macbook Pro 15″ 2.5GHz / 2GB / 250GB 5400RPM / 512MB Vram
$2799. Macbook Pro 17″ 2.5GHz / 2GB / 250GB 5400RPM / 512MB Vram
Visit the Apple Store to order any one of those beauties. But I sure am glad that I’ve got my sexy Macbook Air with me ;)
a 26 year old Kuwaiti Gadget Freak who is obsessively in love with Apple Products so much that she probably has everything made by Apple. Currently she's being a lazy bum and putting off writing and everything else but when she does this is her space where she likes to vent and release everything, so welcome to it.
If they introduce a new iMac, I’m going to travel to the US just to kick Steve Jobs in the crotch and then come back home…
haha! Jackie being Jacqui
hi, again asking about uniteD , how is there entertainment system is it good ? coz iam traviling with my kidz and idont want them to drive me crazy in the flight ,i olso heard that there bathroom is so dirty is it? and thanx again
that’s the problem with these damn macs :P u buy it and the next month something BETTER is available. Thing is, when other brands upgrade no one notices (so u never know), but when it’s apple it makes the news.
we broke the speed boundary back in 2003 :P so if you have one now no use in updating unless you want it for a particular job such as video editing and if you are then get a desktop….
on another note wtf happened to bluray drives and solid state hdd I was expecting for the Pro line, guess I’ll just wait for the new redesign for me to get what I want!!!! I’m disappointed big time.
For once your not going to buy another Apple! Enjoy your thin one for now! lol
But cant you upgrade the one you already have? or would it cost the same price as a new mac pro? aaa mac are too complicated.
I’m so jealous. I want a new Macbook!
After spending 7 years with ibook/macbooks (pro) I found that mobile macs suck! .. Every single one them had a problem, either the logic board or the screen or the battery or the rubber border surrounding the edges!
If you wanna a mac get an iMac, if you wanna a laptop get a Dell/IBM as they last forever.
The company I work for has a seperate page for their employees on the Apple website so we get discounts for all apple products except the iphone woohooo!
Gahhh…Damn you Apple :evil:
Swair : But I don’t agree, I like his updates even if they annoy the hell out of me sometimes :P
Laialy_q8 : But of course, how could I not be me? :P
a : Entertainment system is really annoying cause they only have one movie per channel which they repeat throughout the flight and at one point you get sick of just watching anything. And bathrooms were kind of dirty, at one point people just stop caring :s
EniGma : I know hehe but it’s still fun, and you still love your lovely new machine!
TAT : I know hehehe that’s why I was disappointed about the new designs! I was disappointed about how minimal the upgrade was but then again that means later on this year they’ll have a major redesign, hopefully!
Marzouq : Hehehehe I know! But Apple Products make me happy!
Skinny Bumblebee : Macbook Air is not upgradeable but I could change a few things in it later on, once SSD becomes cheaper might even swap out the HDD that’s in it and go SSD :)
missy : They are beautiful machines aren’t they?!
mishref : I hate Dells/IBMs, but the iMac sure is a beautiful machine. Either way I am not disappointed in my machine.
Stephen : Lucky you! Can’t I get a job there? :P I want extra discounts on Mac products :P
Angelo : But you still love them!
