Sorry for the comment spam.

Where is coverage of the Apple/Gizmodo developments? Is Engadget staying out of it? What about BLam's douchey email to Jobs? No interest?

This is the best I could do guys. The freakin household is typically vietnamese with the bangin' and shieznit. (i can't even do homework in my own house) Anyway. here ya go.

Hello my friends, on hand is the new macbook. This new macbook has not been announced by apple. *Talks about the 13 inch macbook and its features that you see in caption.* (damn typical Vietnamese environment. Loud and frickin noisy) The special feature on this one is the Nvidia Geforce 320m. Right now we shall show the machine. The seal…it is difficult to take this seal off. The seal of the machine. *taps machine* Everything is white, all the way to the booklet which is also white. The new style of selling. Before the booklet follows the clasp style, now it follows the thread through style. Here we have the book also white. The disc is not white! Haha. The charger is also a charger of a white color. The charger is starting a new color. The line of the charger is a little textured. Here is another accessory. Here there is another smaller charger adapter. Pulls out macbook* here. The whole machine set is white. Side ports* Over here we have a charger, LAN, mini displayport, 2 usb ports, a headphone port, and lock (Kensington probably.) There is nothing on the other side, back and front. It is made of plastic. Let me open this machine…The shell of the machine is very pretty but it is easy to get fingerprints. We only held it for just a little while and now it has fingerprints already. There is an insulating sheet in this new machine. The whole machine is white, signature of apple.

a 3.5 minute long video where he doesn't turn it on and show up him pulling up the profiler and what it says. instead we get a shot off another computer. a shot that anyone in photoshop could fake right along with that label with the specs. note also that we don't see the whole screen. it is kid's play to pull up your faked profiler pic, line it up and then hit the icon to make that the dominant menu with the real profile pulled over to a corner that is not being shown. My 8 year old can do that.

This is just like their iphone which was never plugged in on video, nor did we see them use it on the video. in fact it was noted several times that the screen never moved when when the phone was tapped, flipped around etc. making folks wonder if it was a shell mocked up from all the stuff Gizmodo posted with a photo taped to the back of the glass to appear to be an onscreen image. ]]>May 17th 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/May 15th 2010 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/May 15th 2010 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/

I remember, for the longest time the macbook didn't come with a dvd burner but a cd burner/dvd read drive. This was at a point in time when every other laptop in the world moved on to dvd burners. Because it was such a rare component, I'm pretty sure the cost difference was negligible. But the stock macbook config didn't feature a dvd burner to differentiate it from the macbook pro models.

That's why I can not ever recommend a macbook, because it's intentionally made not as good as it can be. It's just there to fill a price point, to get you into an Apple store, and then upsell you a macbook pro.]]>May 15th 2010 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/

funny how you tell atheos to edumacate himself. the only reason why the 13" can't have discrete and an ix chip is because the logic board does not have room for an integrated and a discrete chip. Apple would have to completely redesign the logic board just to make you happy. They chose not to keep prices down. perhaps you should edumacate yourself before you make urself a fool.]]>May 15th 2010 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/
"Apple would have to completely redesign the logic board just to make you happy."

a) They wouldn't be making me happy, because I'm not buying one regardless. No doubt they'd be making a lot of their customers happy, though, and isn't that the point of selling things?

b) Uh, isn't redesigning things kinda the point of a product refresh?

c) The attitude of "we can't change this because this is how it is in the current version" will get you fired at most companies. That's the path to stagnation.

d) If other manufacturers can do it, why can't Apple? Dell makes a 14" Vostro with an i5 and a GeForce 310M; you're telling me one extra diagonal inch (which is what, 0.66" in each dimension?) makes it utterly impossible to fit a chip that's the same size as the one its replacing?

Quit making excuses.]]>May 15th 2010 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/
"I'm not buying one regardless."

So why are you here moaning about it? You care so much about other commenters that you want them to get a Dell instead?

"Uh, isn't redesigning things kinda the point of a product refresh?"

Uh, no. You don't have to redesign the machine for every spec change.

"If other manufacturers can do it, why can't Apple? Dell makes a 14" Vostro with an i5 and a GeForce 310M; you're telling me one extra diagonal inch (which is what, 0.66" in each dimension?) makes it utterly impossible to fit a chip that's the same size as the one its replacing?"

First of all the 310M is slower than the custom designed 320M Apple uses. Secondly, the 310M is a dedicated chip, which adds to the cost, size and power consumption of the design (Dell's margins are way lower than Apple's because of volume). Thirdly, that 1" actually does add a lot of square inches - think about the difference between a 15" and a 13", the difference between the 14" is just under half that.

Yes, Sony can fit a 330M (the highest end GPU used in the MBP) in a 13" machine alongside a Core i5 but guess what. It costs $1700 not $1000.

The Core i5-430M in the Dell can match a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo so a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo isn't really that far off and the MB has a faster GPU. It's not like the Macbook is 3x the price and half the speed.

14" Dell i5-430M, 310M $759 (15% faster CPU, 20% slower GPU, 25% cheaper) (it's $799 if you're not a small business and get the XPS)
13" Macbook 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 320M $999

Not that huge a difference and both can play Crysis, though you'll get about 10fps more on the MB and better battery life (5-6 hours vs 3-4 hours).]]>May 16th 2010 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/May 15th 2010 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/i guess it is so the viewers (us) get a feel of the material it is made of]]>May 15th 2010 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/May 15th 2010 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/15/apple-macbook-with-2-4ghz-core-2-duo-and-nvidia-geforce-320m-gra/
