Comments on: Redesigned MacBook Pro Lineup to be Revealed This Year? http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/10/redesigned-macbook-pro-lineup-to-be-revealed-this-year/ News, tips, software, reviews, and more for Mac OS X, iPhone, iPad Sat, 25 May 2013 09:32:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Stewart http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/10/redesigned-macbook-pro-lineup-to-be-revealed-this-year/#comment-335188 Stewart Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:57:29 +0000 http://osxdaily.com/?p=27077#comment-335188 I actually don't mine having the optical drive on my MacBook Air - I have an USB drive and not sure if speed is issue - all they have to do if so is make a Thunderbolt drive - hopefully Blu-ray. I am looking for this computer a lot. Less moving parts - I do understand why they might solder the memory to motherboard but it would be nice to have option for additional memory. One of the nice things about mac book air is there no user upgradable parts on it - that means it last - it two years old and no different then when I first got - excepted for Lion.

Apple's idea of a Pro laptop may not quite fit that of Pros out there. Lenovo, here we come (back)! Hear, hear!

A LOT OF PEOPLE still rely on optic discs for several different activities. the optic disk drive is the only reason why i bought a MBP instead of a MBA. there is no logic at all in lauching a MBP that has no DVD drive. maybe apple will finally leap into the second decade of 21st century and we will see a MBP with bluray drive. this is completely related to the so called 'retina display' they are talking about! you guys really believe it would be interesting to release a line of notebooks where there is no Optic drive at all?

I don't have space for an iMac. I chose a MBP because, combined with my NAS, it's as good as a desktop. I want the DVD. There's no troubleshooting substitute for booting from the SL DVD for some things. (No, the Lion USB doesn't have some of those options) I need the Ethernet option for when I'm transferring GBs of projects to the NAS, or downloading OSX updates. Unless this comes with USB3 and the ethernet dongle gets upgrades too, then that's slower than ethernet. I'll be pretty upset if there's no suitable upgrade path when time comes to refresh my MBP.

Mac OS isn't anything i'll miss. Happy Days. I Hate this trend of hiding features in GUI's and Apple are dumbing down hardware now too ? - i'll be off like a shot I will just get one of these new Macbook Pro clones, i need DVD, decent HD, metal construction,backlit k/b. it’ll prob come with Win7 on, but i’ll trash that rapido, and put a KDE based Linux on.

Plus SSD drives in the capacity I got (750gb) are ridiculously expensive. Frankly, the reason I didn’t buy an Air is because I *want* the DVD drive.
