But veering away from the GMA's is more than welcome. But, what I'm really hoping for is a damn user-replaceable HDD for the Macbook Pro. Lifting the keypad to do this is crap. ]]>Jul 28th 2008 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/very heavily suspected, that is.]]>Jul 28th 2008 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/Jul 28th 2008 9:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/
Admittedly, it could be easier, but I was in and out in well under 30 minutes. The longest part was contacting some of my mac technician buddies to ask them why there was a metal disc glued to the original drive.]]>Jul 29th 2008 12:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/Ha.

Really? The x4500 is decent (integrated) GPU, handling everything (incl. HD-movies) except games.

Wouldn't understand that move at all.]]>Jul 28th 2008 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/Jul 28th 2008 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/Actually, the CPU is responsible for playing videos, which is why they work so well. Graphics are mainly for gaming, which is why it doesn't do that well.]]>Jul 28th 2008 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/28/macbook-rumors-swirling-glass-trackpads-custom-chipsets-ponie/Actually, you're wrong. The new integrated graphics from Intel have hardware acceleration for playing all kinds of video, including Blu-Ray. Previous integrated graphics couldn't have handled 1080p video, even with a good CPU.

... c'mon, Apple, sub-$900 12" or 13.3" laptop.
