well id be fucked to find anything new... same processors same ram same SATAI hard drives same display resolutions same cd/dvd drive same wlan same looks what has actually changed? Apple - MacBook Pro - Technical Specifications I am utterly disappointed that they have not added support for either: - Quad core - SATAII - SSD - blue ray Can anyone tell the difference? Apart from the 2.4 processor being swapped to a 2.5? And having a slow lardy option of a hard drive for the 17" one? Their benchmarks are pathetic too, comparing performance with the best macbook spec to the shittest macbook spec from their last configurations. Also 5 hours of battery life of "wireless productivity" when using an external monitor with that has to be plugged in to the mains to work, what the fuck would be the point running off batteries for your laptop but on the mains for your monitor! Wonder how long it lasts powering its own screen, and "wireless productivity" to me suggests you are using it as a laptop and being out of the office. Wonder how many idiots fall of this shit. Wish they would just say how it is, and not dress it up as something new when the maximum spec is barely any better than the last maximum spec. All I see updated now is the Graphic card memory.
