They may seem simplistic, but the simple have a strange way of confounding...
You can see this on any type of product, the simplest products with the cleanest lines are always more attractive and they are also less expensive to manufacture those parts.

The great MBPs of the past were perfect in asthetic design because they got out of the way of what you were doing. They did not have all of these parts that said, hey look at me - wipe the finger prints off me - the uniform aluminum color projected a quiet confidence and strength that the new design just does not have.

Personally, I think these should have been labeled MacBooks not MacBookPros.

Whats the likely hood of me getting windows xp running on this thing at full speed? I want to get a MBP but only if i can run my windows and osx software at my leisure. After months of deciding, its in my best interest to dual boot a MBP because it has the specs and a style thats unmatched by most (if not all) pc laptops.

I think this track pad will be the main issue because its not something i think windows can recognize (multi touch).]]>Oct 14th 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Oct 14th 2008 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/
What do you think? Have you been under a rock for a couple years?

Except when they fail to mention (kill off?!) the 17" MBP :'(

::pours a 40 for his homie::]]>Oct 14th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/
I'm not saying I don't like them using display port (I actually quite like it and it would be nice if its able to finally dethrone VGA), its that they chose to use the mini version, so you're still going to have to use a dongle to hook it up to a non Apple device which odds are will be using the standard size connector.

@johnny5

Generally speaking, the larger connectors are more robust and often less fiddly to use]]>Oct 14th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/
They charge $29.00 extra for the Miniplug to DVI adapter, from what I see it is NOT included with the purchase of the computer. What a gimmick. Now I have to buy a Miniplug to DVI and miniplug to VGA dongle. Where is the advantage here?

What I do not think is great is how overpriced the MBP really is. $2000 bucks for 2 GB RAM and 250 GB HDD. They should at least double that.

Side note: Even though the prices remain almost the same, there are some price rises on (for example) the Danish store. 300 kr (£30) for the smallest MBP.]]>Oct 14th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Oct 14th 2008 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Oct 14th 2008 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/
If I walk up to my desk, and I don't want to sit down, I shove the screen on my laptop pretty far back so I can see the whole thing almost directly.

It's impossible to do that with an Apple laptop.]]>Oct 14th 2008 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/
The design doesn't let you push the screen back, so what if you want to walk up to your desk and quickly look at it without sitting down? You're pretty much limited to an indirect view, which sucks.]]>Oct 14th 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Oct 14th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Oct 14th 2008 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Oct 14th 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Oct 14th 2008 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Engadget's comment system malfunctioning, thats unpossible!]]>Oct 14th 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Oct 14th 2008 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/Oct 14th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/apples-all-new-macbook-pro-packs-new-nvidia-gpu-glass-trackpad/It looks like I missed the chance to switch to apple this year too.

I think a better idea would have been to simply change the color of the backlight - perhaps blue - people would have liked that.
