Then you should really move to another manufacturer. They are clearly removing the drives. I don't think they would backtrack on that. They aren't going to reintroduce the drive. I suspect after another refresh none of the mobile lineup will have actual cd drives.

Agreed. There just isn't room. Optical drives are going (have already gone?) the way of the floppy disk.
That's how I feel too. I really want the iMac to get that spec bump (and retina screen damnit!) as I was intending to buy one within the next month or two.
C'Mon silent upgrade, I don't want a damn laptop!
Yea I think the location based stuff is being made worldwide.
Unless if I misunderstood. If so, I'm gonna be pissed.
Action sheets are now icons. Much cleaner.
what does the lock at the right of the status bar mean?

So I want this asap.
I have a apple store where I live where I can get on a list when they arrive or I am assuming order one direct from apple today.
Which is the better option?

That is what I will likely end up doing, or simply not buy a personal laptop at all and stick with a gaming desktop + work laptop + iPhone.

pass, ipad is too pretty to ugly it up with that
HDMI surprised me, thought they were going to march right past it and never look back with TB (I would have preferred a third TB or USB3 port IMO)
In one to two years (tops) this will be the MBP just like the Air phased out the MacBook. Only difference being that they are keeping the name the same

You think they are going to re-add the optical drive?
The masses don't give a fuck about optical drives when everything is supplied digitally these days, or way easier to transfer with a memory stick.
There are people that desperately need them though, and apple supplies a portable superdrive for those people.
Physical media is dead, yo.

Sure. I get that, I really do. But, they are still selling a bunch of the other models, are they not?

So you can plug your MacBook Pro into an external monitor and use it with a seperate Bluetooth mouse and keyboard? Almost like it is a Mac-mini? Does the MacBook pro screen-lid stay shut (like in sleep state) or does it have to be open? (not sure how to word this as I've never tried this)
That may be a good solution actually...

The retina MBP is £1800 here
iPhone safari now has fullscreen mode.
but it looks like its landscape only?

which cost a pretty penny. it's not practical to continue with firewire drives with USB3 now included. i'm probably going to change the enclosures on several of my media drives in anticipation of either that or eSATA to connect our next Macs to.
so does this mean no more 17 inch laptops? http://www.apple.com/why-mac/compare/notebooks.html
You can have it shut. If you're feeling fancy, you can even pick up one of these things:
BookArc Stand.
You can have it open, or closed.
Wireless mouse/track pad and wireless keyboard.
Pretty simple.
You can leave the screen on and use it as a second monitor or you can leave it closed.
Pair it up with one of these and you have an awesome desktop/laptop combo - http://hengedocks.com/
(I'm sure they'll be releasing a new one for the new Macbook pro soon.)

Facebook integration isn't coming to OS X until this fall. Probably not until iOS 6 comes out and debuts the feature.
I wonder if this means it won't be fully supported in the iOS 6 betas either...?

Maybe you missed the glowing Apple logo on the back of all its laptop, where when you go to a coffee shop you feel you walked in an Apple presser with all the glowing logos
Or maybe I just got bootleg version which comes with the glowing logo
nope. what I do: plug in monitor, open laptop and turn on. once it's on it displays on monitor and laptop, close laptop lid and it switches the full display to the monitor

What was that abnormally long iPod/Phone that kept popping up? Sneak peak at the 5 or a new iPod that they'll officially announce soon? Weird they didn't mention it, it's obviously a new product of some sort.
Hope it's the new iPod and it comes out soon, I'd like to have a small thing like that to have in my pocket as a mp3 player/ RSS reader/ GAF device. Current iPod Touch is a little too small.
I have about $1400 to spend on a new computer setup for school, debating between 13" Air + iPod Touch or iPad + decent PC.

hmmm seems like 13" i7 would be a better buy at the moment for me. i want the retina so bad but id rather put that $700 towards the thunderbolt display which im getting regardless.
