New MacBook unboxing photos

Awesome man! I'm on my late 2007 MacBook 2.2 Ghz "Santa Rosa" model, that I purchased in December, but I'm ready for an upgrade already. These new MBs are gorgeous! I want one badly!

Leland: I agree! SOMEONE get me one. lmao.

Anybody want to buy me one of the new MacBooks? Please?

i think apple should take a page out of the HP walmart laptop deal where the laptop and all of its accessories came in a messenger bag. the ultimate green solution.

think about it, most of the laptop is green and recyclable now, the biggest waste is probably the packaging. make the packaging reusable.

I tend to keep around computer boxes for Ebay/Warranty/Find the serial number purposes, but how recyclable would the box be? I think it's all well and good that a laptop is green, but Apple laptops tend to lead long lives, passing from user to user until it reaches either total breakdown or obsolescence. The boxes pretty much just take up space once the user owns it, either in the landfill or in their closet.

Can they make the foam in the package biodegradable? What if they sold it in a box that you could tear up and mix in with the compost?

Of course, this is a minor concern. It's a great step in the right direction, and there's much bigger offenders in the packaging world. Individually wrapped prunes and the HP printed paper licenses that come in a big box come to mind.

Congrats! It's lovely

QUESTION:

Could you tell us how the new screen of the 13" inch is?

I mean, not only how the glass is compared to the coating, but also how good the screen in general is.

The "old" MacBooks had a screen which had SO MUCH BLEED from top to bottom, it was so much color and brightness difference, that was the main argument for me not to buy one.

Is it still like this in the new ones?

OMG...its beautiful

TOO BAD I WILL NEVER OWN ONE

NO FIREWIRE NO DEAL

and that is sad because i really wanted one badly...but i CANT afford the PRO...i wish i could but its not going to happen...really SAD here...

especially since my Macbook 2006 is doing this annoying thing where the cursor will move from where i am typing to where the cursor is because it is apparently doing this because of the palmrest is pushing the track button...its really annoying since i touch type..lol

oh well guess i will have to search out a Macbook Pro on ebay to be my next portable...its sad cuz i really think the new Macbooks are a work of art...very classy and beautiful...oh well maybe they will wise up and put the Firewire back in next year

Do the new laptops run really hot like the older Macbook Pro does?

UPDATE:

Considering I'm more old-school, I actually gave the migration assistant a go... gotta say, it went w/o a hitch and I'm back in action in only the time it took to roll my 200GB of data over from my other machine.

First observation in the past few hours: it's fast as grease lighting.

Color me impressed, and I haven't even gone 4GB of RAM yet or 7200rpm on the drive (both are no-brainers folks). Yes, I'm going OWC for those bits n pieces.

Actually looks pretty similar to the MacBook Air packaging, you can see a clear move towards the packaging that was introduced with the iPhone.
