New MacBook Pro tear-down

If the update doesn't see a significant increase in performance or battery life, the 45nm chips should see a drop in heat generated. Shouldn't they? Less heat is a good thing - definitely not worth upgrading for but maybe worth waiting for (which I've been doing).

How in world did they manage to miss the new USB port on the left side next to the power-connector? They even opened the damn thing and didn't notice.

Omg, I thought they would have learned by now but they're still overdoing the cooling paste and judged on those pictures it's a low-ass quality cooling paste too...

What I don't get, and this is a little off topic, is why nobody seems to be mentioning that the macbooks now ship with 802.11n, when previously they were shipping with g.

Jameson they're available at Apple Stores right now! I got mine today at an Apple Store in Seattle, and I'm typing this comment on it as we speak or type.

The real question for me is will Apple release "gestures" for the older models of MBP, much like they did with the "AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac."

I guess this all depends on if a third party developer figures out how do implement gestures for free. If so then I think apple will start selling it as an upgrade.

I can't imagine that the trackpad is actually different, it all seems like firmware to me.

anyone know when the apple stores will have the new MBPs?

"12 hours since the new MacBook Pro's" what were released?

You've got the possessive apostrophe in there, so I have to conclude that you forgot a word or two. I mean, you wouldn't put an apostrophe before a plural s, would you?

im confused, everyone is commenting on the LED backlight, wasnt that already the case, the new addition i see is a High-Definition LED display... whats that mean?

I bought my Mac Book Pro right after the Santa Rosa upgrade and now that I'm technologically "behind" I suppose I'm... "happy" its not a huge upgrade. But still... Multitouch!
