New Apple Lust Objects

much more recyclable, less packaging, much greener etc.

I like the 13" screen, but if it's the same footprint as the MacBook they've missed the point and they obviously don't get why there are still people in universities everywhere using 12" Powerbooks

no ethernet = pretty much expected. tallest thing in a computer. was the limiting thing once you take out the optical drive.

battery life is bollocks, footprint is massive. PB 12" ftw.

bromide-RETARDED is more like it.

weight?

well, that saves me a fortune.

what elfin world do you live in where a 13" laptop is MASSIVE?

That's all folks

bet that display is lush

what elfin world do you live in where a 13" laptop is MASSIVE?
universities! Seriously, the amount of PB 12"s and tiny laptops on campus is huge.

was that the one more thing? or is there one more thing

yes, it looks lovely. but i'm used to 12 inches (pause for stet to snigger) and ... well, what cozen said, basically.

still: we'll see what follows over the next 12 months.

think that's it

well that sucked

the flash disk version is the killer one. I bet that has awesome battery life and OS speed.

I don't feel so bad about buying a MacPro (on the work CC) in Dec

I thought flash drives were super-slow to write to still?

Yeh, MacPro is my next mac

I want one. A good excuse to come back to the states, methinks, JW OTM about the SSD

Randy newman ranting and singing a political song

Jobs for Prenzit?

Ars guy thinks songs odd

is an ssd drive that much faster then a regular hard drive? I imagine they fail less, no?

I thought flash drives were super-slow to write to still?

Most I/O can be done asynchronously and appear synchronous using a RAM cache.

still not really a UPNC -- this should have been the new macbook

SSDs based on volatile memory such as SDRAM are categorized by fast data access, less than 0.01 milliseconds (over 250 times faster than the fastest hard drives in 2004) and are used primarily to accelerate applications that would otherwise be held back by the latency of disk drives.

SSD and HDD the same price?

Want to know what the SSD upgrade price will be, a lot but apple probably get's the cheapest flash of anyone.

Tracer, I kinda see this as a gradual phase out of physical disks on the portables.

Can't wait to see the battery life on the SSD. SSD will also be killer for music and stuff -- no noise!

SSD version costs 3098

It's on the store now.

Includes 1.8 c2D

REVENGE OF THE "THIN CLIENT"!

the "thin client" was 10 years ahead of its time -- it's obvious that in 5 years or so everyone will have big honking drives at home, hooked up to killer processors and fast networking, managing everything -- your walk-around computer will be like some kind of mega-ipod

/(O.O)\

Randy newman is back to ranting now

[18:40:17] <Clint|irssi> Now he's talking about how he likes to watch Jim Kramer's mad money on CNBC

and still using a keyboard layout designed to minimize metal type getting stuck to itself

they keyboard is really the limiting factor here

Fuck a glossy screen.
