John’s talking about not upgrading to this new MBP because of the lack of funtion+ “key number” commands (numeric input) being supported. Can anyone confirm that it’s totally not supported anymore?
I don’t care what everyone else has to say. These are going to sell sell sell. They’re good looking and pack the power punch todo the work. I just bought one and can’t wait to start working with it.
and damn!!!! look at how many less screws are showing, this is really a well built machine, this is going to last me a long long time. Congrats apple for doing a great job.
Well ,looks like everybody is fawning over the outer shell like stupid highschool geeks over a ditzy prom queen. I admit it looks good from the outside. But open it up and it practically is macbook. Can´t tell the two apart. And what´s witht he freaking glossy screen, huh? I am a guy who works on the run A LOT. What I really enjoyed about my Powerbook was the crisp screen and that everybody of my customers gathered around could see everything. That´d be history now. And honestly folks, would you pay big bucks for a BMW 7 that looks like a BMW 3 ??? I don´t think so. I don´t want a “Pro” machine that looks like the frilly little brother. I want to show of with my gear. The older silver keyboard has a really nice and expensive feel to it. While I like the klickfeel of the new boards, it looks just the same as in the crappy macbooks and doesnt distinguish pro from consumer. Part of why I was ready to spend big bucks was because I got a sleek, powerfull, pro looking powerhouse ready for work. I gave the new MBP a testrun at the local store and while the performance is flawless and it looks good from outside, I HATE it as soon as I open it and have to look at that darn glossy screen. Working in a brightly lit store was a pain in *§§ allready.
I rather buy one of the last gen and wait for a better redesign or I´ll switch!!! To DELL !!!!!! And Ubuntu.

It’s just crazy how much sturdier it looks

In my opinion, Apple has nailed it with industrial design and aesthetic with these things.

I love the new notebook, but I was waiting for the 17-inch one, hopefully they’ll come up with it soon =)
