QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Jan 4 2010, 09:29 PM) why do people keep calling it icore 5 or icore 7? sorry core i3/i5/i7 theni think i5 520M and 540M are most probably run into new macbook pro i think will see one i7 in 17 or in customize. based on the price of processor, apple always use the same price range processor to replace the old one This post has been edited by cRazYee: Jan 5 2010, 09:08 AM |

QUOTE(cRazYee @ Jan 5 2010, 08:57 AM) sorry core i3/i5/i7 then maybe MBP will get a 'rebranded' core 2 as the core i3 i think i5 520M and 540M are most probably run into new macbook pro i think will see one i7 in 17 or in customize. based on the price of processor, apple always use the same price range processor to replace the old one  QUOTE Intel may rebadge existing Wolfdale, Yorkfield, and Penryn Mobile chips into Core i3 As bizarre as it seems, it looks like existing Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors are bound for a new name tag, under Core i3. The processors will form Intel's value offerings, since they compare to the lower-end derivatives of the Nehalem architecture. At this point in time, we don't know if (and don't expect) higher-end Wolfdale and Yorkfield models to make it to this series, but rather the lower-end Core 2 Duo E7000, E8000, Core 2 Quad Q8000, Q9x00, etc. to do so, as they make the most market sense with Nehalem and Westmere derivatives higher up the order. The processors will continue to be driven by existing chipsets by Intel, which include members of Intel 3-series and 4-series. techpowerup im eager to see how the integrated GPU on core i5 compares to the nvidia 9400M. |

I also bought an Apple Remote and Incase Hardshell for my Mac. Speck Hardshell is like everywhere. So, I opt for the Incase one. Heard from many that the quality is much better than Speck.  |

good thing, i suppose.
anyway an apple reseller salesperson told me that the new apple remote operates using bluetooth not IR, and is not compatible with MBP tried it at home with a MBP (i think bluetooth was turned off) and it still works +_+ This post has been edited by dvlzplayground: Jan 5 2010, 05:22 PM |

The alum remote still uses IR and would work with Macs and accessories with an IR port.
Makes me wonder, which reseller and where? |
