i've been waiting for the update since august last year since the macbook pro specs at the time didn't even come close to a similarly priced Sony Vaio with a HUGE difference in specs. it had a Blu-Ray drive, full HD screen as standard and a better graphics card. so i decided to wait for the macbook update hoping they'd atleast match the specs from a Sony laptop from over 7 months earlier. i can only say am disappointed with the update.

at the end of the day, Apple hardware is just plain old PC hardware thats way over priced and not the best hardware out there either. the only difference is in software, now i can understand if you tell me that 'Mac OS X' costs THAT much more then windows does and hence the price.

otherwise, its just another Laptop PC thats way overpriced.]]>Mar 12th 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/Mar 12th 2008 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/
Come on Apple, get off the high horse and back into the competition.]]>Mar 12th 2008 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/
At the current rate don't expect Steve to even think about updating the tired old Mac Pro line for a few years. Maybe the Macbooks will get his attention later this year.

Sometimes I think Steve forgets Apple used to be a computer company, and some Mac users would actually like to work on them and not just watch iTunes content at various sizes.]]>Mar 12th 2008 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/
no, am afraid its true.
my old laptop is dead for around 2 months now. i can't wait anymore, i need one right now. otherwise i would've waited 'til the june update.

unfortunately, even though i don't think its worth the money, i still took a shine to Mac OS X and so was still prepared to cough up the money.]]>Mar 12th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/

Gateway's name is associated with the lower end stuff, and it's gonna be difficult for them to get out of it - and I don't think they should seeing as there's still a good market for it.

Laptop luxury is already dominated by the likes of Asus, Apple, possibly the Dell XPS's.

... and I still think these gemstones are too chunky looking, though they look pretty damn hawt from the front.]]>Mar 12th 2008 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/Mar 12th 2008 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/12/acer-unveils-the-second-gen-gemstone/

Someone wanna translate that into non-marketing speak?
