New Macbooks!

Greetings Faithful Readers...

In the wake of the Apple announcement today...here are a few of my thoughts...


1) "Old" Macbook goes down to $999...probably the biggest announcement of the day. A sub-1000 dollar mac laptop...a definite step in the right direction!

2) New Macbook/Pro

GOOD
Glossy screen only
Glass trackpad
black edging around screen
graphics card bump
backlit keyboard
amazing aluminum construction
LED backlit screen (brighter!)

BAD
No firewire port
New connection for external video (more adapters....aaaagghhh!)
Expensive

Honestly, I'm impressed with this upgrade. It seems as though they started the design from scratch...and I admire that. Anxious to try it out at the Apple store!

They also intro'd a Cinema Display (gorgeous with a cool new cord!)

Overall, the press conference was exactly what I expected. Nice new computers...cool new lower price point for Macbook... Grade A-

The video has been posted at the Apple site if you'd like to check it out yourself....

Just my $.02
