Star Apple Refreshes Notebook Lines, Introduces New Cinema Display
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 14th Oct 2008 18:35 UTC
Apple During a special press event at Apple's campus in Cupertino, the company refreshed its entire notebook line - the MacBook Pro, the Air, and the ordinary MacBook. In addition, the company also launched a new Cinema Display. The rumours on the 'net were more or less spot on, so there will be little news for those that keep up with that kind of stuff. Read on for a breakdown.

A decent graphics chip and backlit keyboard for $1599. What's not to like?


Well, to start with, the price...

I know, troll, sorry.

I'd have to agree. I just compared an identically specced MBP to a Dell XPS and the dell was $900 (CAD) cheaper. I still want a new MacBook to replace my trusty old iBook but I might save up and wait for the next revision.

What material is your XPS made from? How does that compare to the Macbook?

just to answer your question: magnesium alloy. it's lighter and more robust than aluminium.
