I'll also be watching http://www.techdealdigger.com/hot-deals/apple-sale/59 to see what happens tomorrow when the Apple resellers start discounting the old models (and the new models). My guess is you'll be able to get a white Macbook for under $900 and one of the new-gen models for about $100-150 less than MSRP. Also, the resellers usually throw in Parallels for free which is nice for those of us who can't totally cut the Windows OS cord.]]>Oct 14th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/Oct 14th 2008 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/
The glassy display however? You're probably fucked on that one. The "Unibody" display lids are AMAZINGLY rigid, but if you have shock translating through that body and the screen, I can imagine screens a breaking. I hope they can prove me wrong.]]>Oct 14th 2008 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/Oct 14th 2008 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/Oct 14th 2008 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/the glass on top is probably just to give the iphone feel]]>Oct 14th 2008 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/
Since LCD displays already have glass in them I don't see how having an overlay will make the screen easier to break. What I do see, or don't see is just how the bezel is removed. Perhaps there are clips around the edge ala iPod, I hope. I'd prefer that Apple stay _away_ from the design they used with the Titanium G4 Powerbooks. They were glued together which meant that replacing the display was, how do you say it, difficult? To be fair however, breaking a display isn't that common. It's just for the few of those out there that do eventually break one, if it's glued it's gonna get pricy to fixed.]]>Oct 14th 2008 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/No but Apple can sue RIM

cut cost down like they did in macbooks.i just hate how they make irrelevant updates that makes the price higher.]]>Oct 15th 2008 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/

After seeing and using the MB/P today, i must admit the the track pads good and the bottom is more resonsive to clicking then the top,

And glare was a bit of an issue even tho it was inside.

The only real consern i have with the whole new design is were the feck is the fan???????? there are no holes for it at all that are easly spotted. One dood said that it could possibly draw air thourgh the keyboard or usb WTFand that was one of the sales guys.

In fair ness he said "i'd only seen it this morning at 11.30am when he came to work for the 1st time. You know what apple are like when it comes to letting out details prehand, even to mac store workers" but it was 2.30 when i came in the store. i lol'd]]>Oct 15th 2008 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/Oct 14th 2008 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/Steve Jobs@Apple Music Event 2001

The bezel is glass, it won't get scratched very easily. Just like how the iPhone's screen is hard to scratch. I don't see anyone scratching it unless they are rubbing a diamond on it.]]>Oct 14th 2008 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/Oct 14th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/Oct 14th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/Oct 14th 2008 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apple-macbook-aluminum-and-glass-super-shiny-hands-on/
