Too bad the updates leave me very very dissatisfied. That glass surface, not enough connectors, MB is still very heavy.

For the record.. I'm a Mac user, but I wasn't overly impressed with these new laptops. Sure, the cases are very slick and nice, however the gloss, extra bezel (on the Pros), having to log out to change graphics (likely change in software updates), no DVI (HAVE to use an adapter again..), etc. I have a MBP 2 gens before this one and still really enjoy it.]]>Oct 15th 2008 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/Oct 15th 2008 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/Oct 15th 2008 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9178LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTI1Njg

So many people just want things to be cheaper without taking anything else into consideration. Hey I wish I could buy a new Ferrari for $12,000 too, but it's not going to happen. I don't think Ferrari wants to sell their cars at a loss, and Apple doesn't want to sell their computers at a loss either.]]>Oct 16th 2008 1:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/Oct 15th 2008 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/
Because, you know, everybody has those no-button, glass surface 4-finger multitouch trackpads these days, don't they?]]>Oct 15th 2008 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/
And as far as "no buttons", the whole thing's a button and is just a touch-pad version of their "glass" Apple Pro Mouse. Two crappy ideas, no buttons, and lots of glass? I wonder if it's the same special-needs engineer.]]>Oct 15th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/15/apples-spotlight-turns-to-notebooks-event-roundup/
And yes, there are no external buttons. No, it has nothing to do with the mouse. The mouse does have an actual button, the sensors are what determine if it's a right or left click. And it doesn't have glass anywhere on it. You're batting 1000 here. And yes, I'm sure that because it's a new idea it must be crappy because it comes from Apple.

Opening it up, and voila! looks like a Sony F series. Totally underwhelming.

Dual graphics? pretty late to the wagon. Lenovo has had it for a few months now with the T-series, and Sony has had it for at least two years now.

So it's not cheap, hasn't changed its outlooks, and inside looks like a Sony, fewer ports, no card-reader. It's particularly sad when a major selling point is "user-replaceable battery!"
