Clearing up specifics on the MacBook Pro

Laurie A. Duncan is feeding us a few more details from the Macworld floor on the new MacBook Pros that I thought were quite interesting:

  • Macbook has one FW 400 port, no FW 800. I guess that ZDNet post was at least on to something

  • no pcmcia slot - new ExpressCard/34 slot, whatever that is

  • Hard drive is SATA now, not IDE

  • Magnetic power adapter and port is very very cool! Snaps nice and tight

  • Display now also uses magnetics to close, clasp is gone

We'll publish more details as soon as soon as they roll in.
