My next computer: So near — and yet, so far...
Announced Monday at a new price of $1,699, the 15-inch MacBook Pro.
Available now.
That's the near part.
I'm so excited: I'm still using 10.3.9 on a 2005 PowerBook, and getting more and more tired of spinning beach balls and 10-15 second lags between entering commands and having them happen.
Q. What's the holdup, then, joe?
A. The current MacBook Pro comes with OS 10.5 installed.
Snow Leopard, aka 10.6, arrives in September.
As a card-carrying TechnoDolt™ there's no way I'm getting a machine now, then upgrading.
If you don't understand why this behavior makes perfect sense to me, well then, you haven't a clue about what it takes to be a TechnoDolt™.
Go back to Ruby on Rails and leave me alone.

Do you take your laptop everywhere?
If not, get the 17". The difference ammortised over 4 years (as per your last machine) is pennies a day.
My wife loves her 15's (she's had a few), I love my 17's.
