really want a new macbook.... can't justify it though. Just put a 320GB HDD in my macbook and have 2 gigs of ram.... does everything I need it to do.

Considering i just got a macbook in July, I don't think it would be wise to have macbook envy just yet. They do look purrrrrty.

I am still very happy with my original MacBook black!!

I'd love one, but don't really need one. My MacBook is keeping it real as we speak, so no need to get rid of a good thing just yet.

Coolest computer Apple has made yet! I may have to get one. Maybe?

Want.
One.

Badly.

I asked Anita if I could get a new Macbook and she said sure, when yours breaks. I see an accident in my future. Nah mine is 2 years old and works fine. It does suck about the FW since I have a new OWC Neptune. It is sweeeeeeeet though.

Have a 2.1 GB dual processor Mac tower (last one before the switch to intel chips) and a MBP I bought last Apple. I'm good to go for now. Don't use firewire so won't miss it. When I need to do fast transfers between the MBP and the desktop I just plug in an ethernet cable.

I love my Macbook, though sometimes I miss having a dedicated GPU. Still, the size is perfect for school and doing research in the stacks.

I still don't really know how I feel about the lack of firewire on the Macbook. I use it for my external hard drive, but I could just as easily use USB. Still, I really like target disk mode. There are other ways to do essentially the same thing, but that way is just simpler.

got one from work, nice.. Have a 6 month old one for myself and a 9 month old MB also from work.. Love all of them.. Love having Parallels, cant do my work without it..

looked at them yesterday, and they are nice, I like the aluminum case very much. that being said, the mac air is still sexy as hell to me too.

time has come to upgrade finally. Gotta decide on i5 or i7, regular or highres-antiglare, blah blah !!!

I have the previous gen MBP aluminum unibody with the backlit keyboard, firewire, 13inch screen with a 2.26 processor and 250gb HD. This thing runs beautifully. The newer model that was just released goes from a "7hr battery" in mine to a "10hr battery". It also goes up to a 2.4ghz processor and a new NVIDEA 320M graphics card. For me, I just do basic photo and video editing and basic laptop functions. For me, the slight upgrade in processor and graphics card isn't worth it. The extended battery life would be nice, but I'll pass. Where the new MBP's shine is in the 15inch and 17inch category where they introduce the new processors and have better graphics power.
