MacBook Pro Complete Disassembly guide

*Sorry, meant that to be £180, or about $350...

Hi, I would just like to add my little mark here to say that it is infact not a $3000 powerbook. Through depreciation, and current market value, it is infact at most a $180 powerbook.

Thanks ^__^

that reminds me, can someone buy me a 17 inch MBP, it looks like a great machine, and I can't buy one until my wife pays of law school student loans (sometime next decade). I'll just pretend it is my powerbook reincarnated, I think I'll lovingly refer to it as PISMO... what a nice name... whatever happened to naming them....

"G3 Firewire Powerbook" hey, I had one of those, but then that was new (and over 3 grand) back in April of 2000. After the work out it got in grad school, and then in law school for my wife, it got sold for money towards a much faster, and less expensive (I can't bring myself to call it cheap, that implies it is like a PC, a piece of c---., like the PCs I work on and do some tech support on) iBook. If you consider I went from a 400MHz G3 to a gig G4, at between a third and half the price of the G3, maybe you should think about the iBook the others keep mentioning. Heck if you consider that most computers are obsolete within 6 months of being released, you really can't ask the Pismo to run as well as a new Dell, regardless of the price difference. A six year old Dell, no matter the original price would be just as slow. With your logic, you might as well get mad at my original Mac SE (8MHz, 4 meg of ram upgraded from 1, and 20 MEG hard drive (also over three grand at the time) for not running Halo! What absolute trash Apple puts out, why doesn't a machine from very late 80s, maybe 1990, work better than current Dells? get me Steve Jobs' phone number, I'm going to give him a call and tell him I'm switching...

Sorry, In my last post I forgot to add that it comes with an ATI x1600 graphics card with 256 mb of memory on it. This MacBook Pro is a screaming mimi!!!

You get what you pay for. I am the proud owner of a new MacBook Pro and the performance is incredible plus I can dual boot the baby into Windows XP sp2 if I have to. What PC notebook can boot and run Mac OS X and the awesome apps that you get with that OS? The price is high however I just was on Dell's site and to but a comparable laptop on their site would cost me about the same price. When you consider that I have a 2.16 GHz processor with 667 MHz bus speed, 2 Gig's of DDR2 Ram, 7200 rpm hardrive at 100 gigs. Go ahead and compare apples to apples (no pun intended) and you will find that the price diff. is not that great. You are obviously uninformed and do not understand the hardware that makes up a laptop. Start making legitimate comparisons in hardware and you will see that they are very similar in price. Thanks

"a cheaper powerbook or iBook plays them just as well. So what is your point?" Funny. There are no 'Books that cheap/inexpensive that do as well as a pc notebook. For example, in a newspaper ad today: Celeron M 360 1.4Ghz, 14.1"in WideScreen, 256MB(upgrade to 512MB)/40GB, CDRW/DVD,(upgrade w/ internal wireless) Standard warranty, Corel Wordperfect, XP Home $449 after $100 rebate. (upgrades seem to total $50) This all seems to be for under $600.

What 'Book can be had for that price? Is there a 'Book that can compete with that pc and still be had?

a cheaper powerbook or iBook plays them just as well. So what is your point?

"There is a serious flaw in your logic but I'm not going to get in to it. " Then why take the time to post? iTunes Video/TV Shows does not work/play well on a 6 year old, G3 Firewire Powerbook. 6 years ago, I wouldn't have expected a cheaper pc to even attempt to play at all. But, today, in 2006? I am surprised that a cheaper pc plays the $1.99 iTunes Video/TV Shows without a hitch while my G3 will not. How is my logic flawed? The fact that I would dare speak what pc users have known all along? Pc's (now) work just as well as any Mac for less money?

There is a serious flaw in your logic but I'm not going to get in to it. Because all my iTunes videos play exceptionally well on my $3000+ 17" Powerbook G4 that is only six months old but ironically they don't play at all on my $6000 Mac II that is almost 19 years old.
