Preface: I'm a video editor.

Ethernet is not legacy. Some of us "pros" actually need our macbook pros to have the necessary ports so we can do our jobs. If Apple doesn't update the Mac Pros then I'm jumping ship to a Windows based tower based on the new thunderbolt Asus boards. Apple's adoption of FCPX has made this decision substantially easier.

And no... twin thunderbolt ports are not great if they're occupied by previously unneccessary adapters.

Sound like you are switching. Good luck with that.

 

[Koodo]

I like how they are taking their sweet time disclosing the price.

 

[Omiee]

never getting it if its 2999/

please be 1500 or something pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =(

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

The hype. The new MBP has lived up to it.

 

[snack]

Do the new mbp's have much better gfx?

 

[The Elite]

$2199 - theory.

 

[Windu]

never getting it if its 2999/

please be 1500 or something pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =(

no chance dude

 

[malyce]

please be 1500 or something pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =(

GBP?

 

[Blablurn]

that some circus soleil shit! do want.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

5 quadrillion US dollars.

 

[Xater]

I really wish it had Ethernet port

Get a USB one?

Also can't wait for these features to trickle down the othe rMacbook lines in the coming years.

 

[giga]

never getting it if its 2999/

please be 1500 or something pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =(

lol really

 

[StrikerObi]

Uses non-standard parts, that'll hit the price hard.

 

[vatstep]

"By not purchasing standard parts..."

$500,000 laptop

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Holy shit this thing is a beast. Love what they've done here and I'm drooling over it. 15" is too big for me but otherwise it's a thing of beauty.

 

[CF_Fighter]

Shutup Sir Jony, just tell us the damn price already

 

[lupin23rd]

I like how they are taking their sweet time disclosing the price.

I want him to say these are shipping today too, price be damned!

 

[Enco]

The screen is going to make everything so small.

I predict lots of soccer moms turning down the resolution to 800x600 so they can see.

 

[SimleuqiR]

"By not purchasing standard parts, we can create a product that's more elegant and more efficient."

And this is why Apple will always be ahead of everyone else.

 

[dc89]

This is going to hurt, the price that is. I shudder at the thought of the UK pricing.

 

[Divvy]

The inside is so goddamn beautiful.

I also think it will be cheaper than everyone thinks.

 

[Kraftwerk]

yeah, I'm gonna guess $$2499-$2999 starting price.

 

[NYR]

never getting it if its 2999/

please be 1500 or something pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =(

Why? So they can undercut the rest of their business? Yeah, right....

 

[JackEtc]

I'm getting more and more nervous every second that they don't say the price.

Please pull a Vita bombshell and undercut everyone

 

[DMeisterJ]

I like how they are taking their sweet time disclosing the price.

Seriously.

It's probably too rich for my blood anyway. I'll go with the new Pro in a few months.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I replaced the opticals with SSDs in both my mac laptops over a year ago. Best thing ever. Leave the past behind, with no regrets.

It is not the past if you still have software on fucking DVDs and disks. This is supposed to be Pro as in professional not some stupid blogger machine. I guess I'll have to seek work capable laptops elsewhere now.

 

[LyleLanley]

never getting it if its 2999/

please be 1500 or something pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =(

Pounds of gold?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Will be the same price as the 17in model since they didnt show an update for that.

 

[mclaren777]

$2599

My guess...

Don't be silly.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Holy shit at the asymmetrical fan blades and the beams that structure the thing!

 

[Mobius 1]

The screen is going to make everything so small.

I predict lots of soccer moms turning down the resolution to 800x600 so they can see.

Divide the amount of pixels by 2, that's the effective comparable resolution, just sharper.

 

[Nakazato]

this is fan-tastic

 

[RBH]

Non-standard parts, shit.......

 

[Kosmo]

“The thermal system operates in a way that is nearly imperceptible to users.” Asymmetrical fan blades splits the fan noise over more frequencies, so they are perceived as quieter."

What. Brilliant.

 

[helloresolven]

Macbook Asymmetric Fan.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Jony Ive is ejaculating everywhere.

 

[The Elite]

I just want it to browse the internet in the best possible way.

 

[Yoshiya]

never getting it if its 2999/

please be 1500 or something pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =(

lol.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

I bet it's going to be priced a lot lower than most of you are anticipating.

 

[Sanjuro]

$5000 with a free mechanical keyboard.

 

[Josh7289]

The screen is going to make everything so small.

I predict lots of soccer moms turning down the resolution to 800x600 so they can see.

It scales everything up.

 

[Vanillalite]

The screen is going to make everything so small.

I predict lots of soccer moms turning down the resolution to 800x600 so they can see.

I was thinking about this as well. Wonder if Mountain Lion would have a work around for this or what without pixelating stuff through scaling.

 

[Live Free or Die]

$3,299

 

[NYR]

Don't be silly.

EXACTLY. Price it a bit higher than the Pro, but enough to make it different.

e.g. - high-end air vs. low end pro

 

[Sean]

The fact that it's being hyped this much, and was announced as a separate part of the MBP lineup means it's gonna be expensive as fuck.

3k minimum I bet, probably closer to 4k.

 

[Divvy]

I'm going to call around 1900 For the base model.

 

[Futureman]

It is not the past if you still have software on fucking DVDs and disks. This is supposed to be Pro as in professional not some stupid blogger machine. I guess I'll have to seek work capable laptops elsewhere now.

did you miss when they updated the standard MBP line? It's not gone.

 

[Technosteve]

Guaranteed someone will pull out the old "I can buy a laptop better than this for $800 from Dell!" line...

who gives a shit about that 800 dell

 

[Good Job Bob]

Silent fan!

 

[JaggedSac]

"No one else comes close to this kind of performance."

With laptops.
