Intel Core 2 Duo -> Intel Core i3
120 GB HD -> 160 GB HD
2 GB HD -> 4GB HD
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M will stay the same.

That's what I predict. Not a step further. Maybe already too far. What do you think?

Can't use MCP79 (9400M) or MCP89 with Core iX processors.

If they use 320M, it will be Core 2 Duo again but then they wouldn't need to wait. My guess is:

Core i5 ULV with Intel graphics inside
4GB RAM
SSD as standard

Just one model.]]>May 10th 2010 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/don't let details such as those get in the way of some good old Apple-basher trolling by SeeKo

Lastly, Sony has done a bad job of not making a line of accessories or cases that integrate with it's look. I have the external Vaio DVD drive and it is bulky. The wires in the power adapter are also thick and bulky. Sony just lacks the attention to detail that Apple has.

To be clear, I have 4 vaio computers - 2 laptops and 2 desktops ( one all in one and one HTPC). For me they have styling, features and build quality that exceeds Apple, but unlike Apple, the attention to detail does not go beyond the main hardware.

Apple products I own are Apple TV, ipad, iPod touch and iPhone....

Also own a Sony Alpha D300 DSLR and 2 Sony ebook Readers :)

So not bashing Sony just comparison based on my experience.]]>May 10th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/May 10th 2010 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/

Haha i really hope your being sarcastic. A 27-inch "laptop"? ermmm no way, the MacBook Air might be light but hauling a huge screen around aint my idea of portable. 17-inch MBP is already plently big enough, if you need more screen estate then hook it upto an external display.]]>May 10th 2010 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/Whoops lol totally read this wrong, its too early :/

They can't do much with that price, plus their motherboard (logic board) is smaller than 15, or 17 so, it's hard to add another chip (graphic) on top of CPU+South, where as 15 and 17 has more space to add additional chip and its price range can certainly afford it.
Whereas Macbook Air compare to Pro 13, Macbook Air is a bit premium enthusiast Apple and Ultra-portable Fanboy model, so even though logic board is small, apple can possibly invest a bit more to have discrete GPU as long as they believe they can charge enough, which is the case. So I think question comes down to whether Apple can shrink number of chips and components enough to add Nvidia or possibly AMD discrete GPU.]]>May 11th 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/May 10th 2010 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/

Thats what I was kind of expecting to happen. The thing didn't exactly explode in sales at release, I don't know how well it did after the price drop. But my understanding was that this thing was pretty much supposed to be used for checking email and web surfing (it lacked the power to do much else for any extended period of time, but who knows after the upgrade) all the things the Ipad can now do.]]>May 10th 2010 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/

Hopefully for the redesign (if it is a complete redesign), they will add another USB port (or two), a matte screen option, a glass buttonless trackpad, and better graphics. While the trackpad and graphics are likely, the matte screen is slightly less likely and the extra USB port probably jusf wishful thinking.]]>May 10th 2010 6:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/10/macbook-air-feeling-the-wind-of-change/May 10th 2010 7:02AM
