it simple sucks, its not a pro anymore, its simple a Macbook and why?
1-No matte screen for real DESIGN with REAL Colors, therefore you can rule out a pro touch in any adobe or Maya desings.

2- no firewire, what? no film editing? no final cut?

LOL! try to edit and use a virtual scenario on that mirror!!! wahahah!!

3-This a mainsteam laptop with a mirror instead of a mate screen.

4- The price!!! LOL!! thankfully i got my now “CLASSIC” MBP and i just knew that they are selling at the same price of the new model on E-bay.

5- if you want a $3000 laptop for use MS Office only then its ok.

I rest my case.

I’ve had one of the new MacBook Pros for a bit over a month now and I absolutely love it; fantastic machine, it’s made an outstanding replacement for my iBook and P4 XP desktop.

I did have the honour of having the first bad hard drive (almost right after I got everything set up the way I like) the Apple store in Yorkdale had seen with the new batch of MBPs and MBs. :-P

i love my 15″ MacBookPro, mat screen, shiny aluminum body and keyboard, i don’t like the look of the new MBP’s, as a graphic designer i prefer the mat screen, and won’t do without it, i also don’t like the ‘new’ black keyboard make’s it look like the new ‘MacBook’. This switch up looks Great for new MacBook owners, aluminum body, all the upgrades, again no choice for mat or shiny screen.

Geez guys…what a bad move making the screen in the new Mac-Pro glossy glass only. Doesn’t Apple like photographers anymore? I bought a Mac-Pro back in June. I did a side by side comparion between the glossy screen and the matte on several low, medium and high contrast, color and B&W P-Shop images. The ambient store lighting was the same. I even swithced them left to right for left to right eye compensation.

No comparison….the matte screen gives you better fidelity and grey scale than the glossy, every image, every time. And once you calibrate it using “eye-one” or simular, it is 95% on the money to your print.

I hope that Apple still has a few matte screen in the parts store for that “just in case you need it” warranty situation. Good Luck Apple!

Does the fact that the new MBP supports Direct X 10 matter? I am not a heavy gamer so not sure if it justifies the price a bit or not.
