really want a new macbook.... can't justify it though. Just put a 320GB HDD in my macbook and have 2 gigs of ram.... does everything I need it to do.

Considering i just got a macbook in July, I don't think it would be wise to have macbook envy just yet. They do look purrrrrty.

I'd love one, but don't really need one. My MacBook is keeping it real as we speak, so no need to get rid of a good thing just yet. :-)

No more laptops for me...I'll probably go iMac or get a tower in the near future. They do look nice though

I got the emails & deleted them before I could look (drool)... My girlfriend & I both have Macbooks that have yet to skip a beat. Upgrading would be nice, but a little frivolous at this point.

I've got the most recent MBP at home, but I'm trying like heck to get a new one for work.

That 733mhz Quicksilver G4 tower is not cutting it!

A lot of people are up in arms about the new macbooks and the lack of firewire support. I know that I use FW to get video off of my camcorder. That's not a good sign because I'd have to go up to the MBP to get FW.

That's a lot of money that I could donate to the devil.

Seems like Apple has just about cut out FW from everything. I went to buy a new iPod the other day and noticed that they no longer support FW either. My last iPod I bought 4 years ago came with everything, a charger, FW, USB, dock. Pfft. Now all they give me is the iPod and USB cable. WTF is up with that?

When Apple changed the iPod lineup to USB 2.0; Firewire's days were numbered. It is still there for the MacBook Pro but reality is fewer devices are coming with Firewire 400. They left the FW800 port for the rest of the line for those that want to do faster transfer. Reality is that eSata is the next big thing. The express slot cards that support eSata are going to start moving. I know we have a few people at my job with those.

All that being said; I totally want the new MacBook Pro. I had a 1st gen MBP but I had to give it back to work when I changed positions. Now I'm using a Dell 14" laptop. Just not as nice. Yet, the laptop is only 8 months old so I'll have to buy my own MBP if I want it. :-)

Just got back from "looking" at them. Played with the macbook for almost an hour. The so called all glass trackpad took a couple minutes to get used too, but its pretty damn cool. I really want the $1600 model with the backlit keyboard (love this feature on my MBP), but might settle for the $1300 model.

They are neat, but unless you game a bit I can't see them being much better than the last generation spec wise.
