I rarely post here when it comes to these sorts of things, I am more of a lurker, but I can not believe the negative response the MacBook Pro is getting. Frankly, I think it is pathetic.
Apple creates something for you that is up to 4 times as fast as the previous line, and you are whining? What the hell? When has there ever been such a jump in processing power without changing the price? In all of Apple history? This is incredible, and as far as I'm concerned a revolutionary day for Apple.
I am glad they did not change the case. I am sure they tried extensively until they realized that what they already had was timeless, elegant, and beautiful. Instead they change small things that are really issues like the powercord. Who cares about SD? honestly, I am a hardcore video editor and I find it unnecessary. FW 800, USB 2 is plenty fast, not to mention they have internal SAT hard drives now.
Some people have compared it to Acer's specs which I think makes sense considering apple is using the same chip now. But seriously, has anyone ever used an Acer laptop? Have you been to their website? ( http://us.acer.com/ ) Have you seen what their computers look like? Would you like to use that for the next four years? Seriously. If you are complaining about specs on the mac, why the hell should you start on the day they make a huge leap in power? That does not make any sense.
The MacBook Pro is incredible, elegant, and powerful.
As a student, I will start saving for one ASAP.
