MacBook Pro line updated

Never-mind, just saw the specs. 6 hours battery life!!! that's the same as my MacBook! Man, could you imagine the battery life on a 'MacBook' with an LED screen?

Finally! For the longest time I always felt that the MacBook was a better value and that the MBP didn't have enough of a separation to be worth the extra money. I mean, the metal case and larger screen are nice and all, but for a lot less you get twice as much battery life, lighter and slimmer form and the same CPU. Now, all that's changed and I'm really glad to see Apple changing there ways with it too! 2 GB or RAM is practically unprecedented for Apple! ;) I'm really interested to see if the LED backlighting increases the battery life at all?

Be forewarned - boot camp currently supports neither the graphics card nor the sound configuration of these new "Santa-Rosa" Macs. So, if you intend on doing anything graphically intensive on it, you're out of luck until Apple updates boot camp.

what is the battery life on these updated MBP?? better than 3.5 hours which is what I get from the MBP 2.16GHz ??????

"Apple also notes that the 17-inch model 'offers a new optional 1920-by-1200 high-resolution display, providing over 30 percent more screen real estate than the standard 1680-by-1050 display.' Does it come with a set of magnifying glasses too?"

You're not going to need magnifying glasses with Leopard. That's the whole point of resolution independence.

next round of updates? enjoy the wait.

Not enough. Need new enclosure. I want the MacBook keyboard and magnetic latches.

On the bright side, the border around the 15-inch is now even. No thick top border. Hope the 17-inch gets that treatment soon, because I prefer the bigger screen.

What's the battery life on this updated MBP ??
Will it be better for battery life than my MPB 2.16 GHz which can only do 3 hours at most with just 1 or 2 apps running??

I think its about time to add the support for Blue-ray disks instead of the ol'-good-superdrives.

I was ready to buy today, on impulse (I don't really need a new one yet). But to configure the thing with 4GB instead of 2GB costs an additional $750 at the Apple Store. You have to pay for the memory they're going to take out and keep!

Not only is it just not worth it, but it's annoying enough to put me out of the buying mood altogether. I'll wait a few months and see what the next round of updates brings. And if I'm not happy then, I'll wait again.
