Disappointing new MacBook Pros
Like many other MacBook Pro owners I’ve been waiting for the October 14th event with some excitement. The highlights include:
- Stronger aluminum block casing
- Nvidia dual graphics for low-power or high-performance
- Glass multi-touch/multi-press track-pad
But the downsides are also worth noting, all of which make me think when I replace my 2.6GHz 17″ MBP in a year Apple aren’t going to have something I want to replace it with.
- No 17″ model
- 4GB RAM limit
- Glossy screen only
- 1440×900 resolution
FireWire gone
Keith Combs has some similar observations in more depth while AppleInsider is suggesting a January refresh for the 17″
