I can't wait to see what the Geniuses at Cupertino have up their sleeve for us. I've been looking at the MacBook Pro laptops for use with digital photography, but have delayed the purchase pending the new ones to come out today. Both Mac Rumors and AppleInsider are rampant with "leaked" photos of the aluminum laptop cases, and speculation as to what ports will be available on each model. There are also guesses as to the various price points. It's funny, with only a few hours before Apple's presentation, people are racing to guess what will be unveiled!
Apple has done a good job keeping the announcements mysterious, letting the fans whip themselves into a frenzy, waiting for the next big thing! Well, I hope Apple doesn't disappoint! Click here to follow along this morning!
Update: Post Announcement
Well, the improved graphics on the MacBook Pro looks impressive (2.3 X faster graphics processing when using discrete NVIDIA 9600M GT processor), but I'm wondering if the glossy display will work best for digital photography. Some feel that the colors are saturated, and are not a good representation of the photo. Others claim that the glossy display is the only way to go. Photographers, Graphic Artists... anyone have an opinion? Post a comment!
Update
The glossy screen scares me. I ordered the previous version MacBook Pro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 200GB HD on sale from MacMall for $1449 (after $150 mail in rebate) and upgraded the RAM to 4 GB with memory from Crucial. So far so good! My wife commented the other night on how beautiful the screen is! I know, the new version is supposed to have greatly improved graphics, and a unibody carved from a 5 lb block of aluminum... but I just can't get over the glossy screen! And saving $550 didn't hurt either!!
Anyone get the new one? What do you think of it so far?
