if i remember right, all macbooks/pros right now using the 'three ring type' audio jack that can support both audio in and out..this type of port is slightly loose compared to the old one. mine is loose as well, but still ok la. juz have to adjust2 my headphone a bit when using ;p


Added on December 26, 2009, 4:53 pmumm guys, i've just starting shooting RAW on my camera, and when i import them into lightroom 2.5... performance dropped a lot compared to dealing with JPEGs (of the same picture/resolution). i'm aware that RAW files contain more info n such...but do u guys suffer any substantial lag when dealing with RAW files? my specs are as below, using 9600m gt.

raw file is huge, maybe it's a call to upgrade your RAM to 4gb? icon_idea.gif

but then i doubt the new MBPs will be as powerful as the current high-end iMac. probably u should get the 27" now?

You surely missed reading the specs ..  the MBP 15" & 17" have switchable video configuration .. you could use the Intel HD for normal processing .. or switch to NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 256 MB ..

yes, for the sake of power saving, thus explains then extra few hours of battery compared to previous gen.

last time i read, it's made possible with Nvidia's Optimus technology, which enables automatic switching between Intel HD and GT330M, without having to reboot.

Damn Im also tempted to buy one!!! But why no core i series on the 13"!!!

simply the marketing strategy to distinguish the gap between 13 and 15, and so to justify the price difference between them. it also serves the purpose of giving MBP within reach, in terms of financial of course.
