scottyb Where's the cache? Registered: 01/16/08 Posts: 232 Loc: Alaska	On Apple's US website, all MacBook Pro's are showing 2-3 days out for shipping. I'd say it's a sure thing. Edit: They just changed it to 3-5 days. Edited by scottyb (02/22/11 06:03 PM) _________________________ If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention...

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 6553 Loc: Miami, Fl.	?? So Lenovo announced them today.. did anyone know about it before the announcement? No. So was Lenovo being secretive? I don't know of any company that gives you specs before the announcement... otherwise.. that would be the announcement, eh? _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== When Romney talks....

If Apple had announced them a year before, then other companies could have copied it quicker. I like it that they keep things secret. _________________________ It was nice knowing you all....

Lea LoneStar Registered: 08/18/06 Posts: 10225 Loc: Texas	I relish the anticipation. It's a basic marketing strategy that keeps interest primed. We're basically like kids ~ Waiting for another BDay or Christmas ~ What's it gonna be? What am I gonna get? And I always get good stuff from Apple. _________________________ I always deserve it.

My post was only in response to an article.. not what I thought was going to happen. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. You should go check if there are any updates available in Software Update. Now.. back to the task of which one do I buy.... _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== When Romney talks.... Mitt Happens.

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 6553 Loc: Miami, Fl.	Sry.. meant to put a smiley after that last bit... On another note.. it's just like Apple to hobble the hardware. Sandy Bridge processors contain something called Quick Sync. It allows to CPU to transcode video. Much faster than a GPU. Not on a MBP... grrr. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== When Romney talks.... Mitt Happens. When life gives you melons... you may be dyslexic. ---

MacGizmo Moderator Registered: 04/03/02 Posts: 18620 Loc: Arizona	WTF? You can't run System 9 on these things? F#$%ING Apple is always screwing loyal customers like me... who don't upgrade for decades, preferring to steal our software instead of buying, and continue living in mommy's basement until the ripe age of 35! _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.

zwei soporific Registered: 06/26/04 Posts: 2471 Loc: Near an iPad	Speaking of not running legacy crap. From this point on Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 They are no longer updating drivers for XP. Just thought it was a good time to throw that in. Also, Lion is apparently killing Rosetta so any PPC apps you still have won't run any more. Going to be a lot of people running old versions of Photoshop, etc. that will be complaining. Gotta go buy some popcorn. _________________________ zwei � twitter � Roku
