Re: New Apple Notebooks

it has less overhead on the chipset, but on spec - paper usb2 is faster.
even

This is why it is faster. On paper it is deemed slower but in the real world, it is a buttload faster than USB 2.0 because of the damn architecture. That's why I've had my IDE drives on FireWire 400 converters for years. Makes things go much, much faster.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

Re: New Apple Notebooks

Come on Mike, you and I both know that the firewire 400 is way faster than USB 2.0

I like this new computer, thinking of getting my ass one.

But you are saying people have no need for anything faster. Thats gay.

No I'm not saying that and don't try putting words in my mouth. I am saying exactly what I said...nothing more, nothing less.

Price drop was only on the plastic case macbooks.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

I love my MBP too..Don't see a need....I was under the impression that these new models were going to be "affordable" models that could be marketed to people who want a Mac but can't really afford it...Not to sound like an elitist or anything, but I thought they were doing something good for peeps that wanted to have one...Now, these new ones are the same price....Lame.

The media and blog world speculated that these models were going to be cheaper., Apple never said anything to suggest that they would be.

Don't blame them for not lowering their prices when they never said they would.

Re: New Apple Notebooks

Not sure what gave me the impression that these were going to be more affordable models...
