Well my new notebook has arrived at last: Macbook pro, 17", 200Gb 7200rpm, 2Gb (upgraded to 4Gb now), matte, 1920x1200..... yum yum... It is quite simply the best laptop I have ever seen. I have just finished installing my software, data etc and I am now using it for the first time. There are a few things I didn't even realise, it's sound output is much better than I have ever seen on another laptop too. On the downside it is going to scratch easily! I have had to take my watch off for fear of scratching the palm rest whilst reaching the keyboard (I think this is likely a 17" specific problem though!)
I was going to wait for the new model but as this could be any time and Apple are rather busy at the moment selling everyone phones I decided to just go for it. Even if they release a new one in 15 days time (any less and I could swap!) it isn't going to make mine slower, thicker etc !
Blu-ray would be nice but the Macbook pro is HDCP compliant as from the last incarnation SO I can just slap a blu-ray drive in at a later date! (in theory).
So if anyone else is waiting to buy a new model laptop then I would put my money on 28th July !!
