Nah I don't think they're confused, they just saw the word "MacBook" and jumped to reply, which is what most people do on this forum anyway.

Perhaps working harder instead of whining on a forum where no one really cares will bring you a little closer to those money you long for. smile.gif

How long this MacBook Pro can run with it's battery? 8 hours straight?

I wish. biggrin.gif Unfortunately there wasn't any improvement in the battery department, my MBP can run for about 3 and a half hours straight (just like its predecessors) with full brightness and everything on.

Well then it's probably a good idea to spend less time on forum and more on studies.

By the way, that was an atomic bomb, NOT nuclear. You really should spend more time to study. wink.gif

Almost same here man! Both of my sisters are using the Aluminum PowerBook, my mom's using the old Titanium PowerBook, my little brother is using the Intel Mac mini, me and my dad are using MacBook Pro. And he's got a Dual G5 PowerMac + ACD sitting at home, and an iMac at work.

The new keyboard looks kinda nice. Would be nice if Apple also makes a 10.2" widescreen edition of this.

That's a no brainer. You'll definitely regret it if you buy the old G4 iBook now. Huge difference in performance.

There are always people complaining about the prices and nitpicking this and that because they couldn't afford one. tongue.gif

Anyway, just so you know, photoshop elements runs a tad faster on my macbook pro than my powerbook, and it'll be even faster when the universal version comes out. So yeah, forget the old ibook, pick up your phone and order a macbook now. biggrin.gif

It's pissing me off that the MacBook gets the "place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click" feature that the current 17" MBP has, but not on the 15" MBP. Grrrr... Where's my software update Apple?!?!

you can't really be chasing afteer technology.... especially when Apple switched to the fast lane.... that's the reason i prefer the PowerPC platform instead; slow but obvious upgrades....

anyway, if it's upgradable/enable via firmware, I'm sure you can hack if you want to.... brows.gif

PPC was the reason why I noticed myself using my VAIO and PC desktop more and more in the past even though Windows was not my thing, but it offered speed, and speed is of utmost importance to my work. I just couldn't deal with the kind of sluggishness PPC had caused OS X. But now Intel changes everything and I don't see any reason to use Windows anymore, well except for Oblivion. PPC was the bottleneck that was slowing down OS X, it had its glorious days but it has to go now.

Anyway yeah, obviously the 15" MBP knows when you put two fingers on the trackpad, it's just a software update away to enable that feature. I'm sure Apple will include this in future updates, they might have overlooked this little thing with the launching of their new MacBook and the new flagship store on fifth avenue. I guess I have to stick with a mouse for now. Oh yeah, where's the bluetooth Mighty Mouse stevie? biggrin.gif

Oh that, no I don't mind at all, speed bump is always welcome. smile.gif It's always better to move faster than being stagnant isn't it? smile.gif

You can't squeeze much out of it really, 20-30 minutes tops. You're definitely gonna need an extra battery if you're always on the go. Does anyone know of a charging dock for the MacBook Pro battery?
