MacBooks Tomorrow?

08.05.2006

Well, there are some strong rumours that the non-Pro MacBooks are going to be released by Apple tomorrow. 13.3″ widescreen and all the Apple aesthetics should be nice. I’m thinking of picking up a smaller laptop for my next one and getting a huge LCD + desktop for my next setup. That would be a nice balance of stationary power and mobility.

Played more ultimate frisbee today. Felt really good actually. I can tell I’m going to be somewhat sore tomorrow though. And look at that, 2 posts in one day at university, aren’t you proud? (okay, so they’re not really full posts, but it’s the best I can do for the time being) Time to watch an episode of House and then pass out.

    [...] Well, it didn’t come out last Tuesday as the rumour had led us to believe, but it’s another Tuesday and another launch day for Apple. This time it’s the MacBook and in my opinion, one of the more attractive products they’ve launched in a while in terms of price/performance. With the student pricing (may as well take advantage of being a poor student right?) you can get a 13.3″ widescreen, 1.83GHz Core Duo, 512MB RAM, 60GB HDD, CD-RW/DVD for $1200. That’s actually a pretty decent price, taking into account Apple’s typical pricing scheme. For some reason or another though, the laptop looks a little chunky. Like, they definitely should have been able to save a couple centimeters around the screen, which would have made it look a little less ‘fat’. I wonder if it scratches like the iPod Nano/Video as well. Still, with those gripes in mind, it’s a pretty nice looking piece of hardware. I guess I’ll admit that I’m pleasantly suprised by the fact that they didn’t totally rape us (the consumer) with prices. I’d bet most people were assuming they’d come with lower end CPUs for example (a la Mac Mini). [...]
