New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

2 years total for ios devices, 3 years total for macs

lol safari 6 beta has this ridiculous bug where if you type " followed by anything into the location bar, it crashes

What I actually want is one of these MBP retina displays as an external 15" monitor. Get to it, Apple

turned out to be a lie

are these new retina mbp bad boys in apple stores yet? I want to go to one and gawk

Odd that the Apple UK website, which mostly clones the US site appearance, takes care to differentiate for the British market in some places but not in others. The new Macbook Pro for example gives the size in centimetres rather than inches and avoids American spellings, but the iOS 6 page, which shows off Siri's new ability to fetch sports scores, has the White Sox playing the Angels and notes "Siri knows baseball, basketball, football, soccer, and hockey." Got that? Not only football, but soccer too!

same here, utterly confounding

they didn't have the ret in the glasgow apple store yesterday fwiw

isn't there usually a lag of a few weeks after a new product announcement before it appears in stores? If they had to ship out the boxes and stock the stores so the new products would be there the day after the unveiling, there's no way Apple could prevent someone in the shipping chain leaking the details in advance, which Apple in known not to like.

asked in Oxford Street today; they should have them on display by the end of the week, but it's going to be a few weeks until they're on sale

Our pro customers are really important to us...don't worry as we're working on something really great for later next year.

Tim Cook

and yes that's a statement from this week and yes he really seems to mean 2013.

because really if they were that important to you you might have focussed some of the energies you used in your second ipad update into the mac pro, just saying.

I really hope there was a pause between "later" and "next year"

i'm not even in the market for a pro but that's some bullshit.

still waiting on that infinity blade dungeons for ipad 3 they brouhaha'd about back in march

these things take time

we should all be iPad only

did not capitalize that p myself STOP CHANGING MY KEYPRESSES

anyway we should all only have tablets

they're cooler

i want to use 4g to ilx from the middle of nowhere

4g and middle of nowhere? does not compute

i will build my own tower

and attach it to my car

and run long cables from it

whatever's necessary

is "the word" that they're killing the 17" mbp or is there gonna a retina mbp coming in a few months?

it's dead

i mean, they could bring it back, but it seems unlikely that they'd just get rid of the current model, wait a while, and then come out with a new one

i heard it's totally dead too

I think they only people I know who ever owned one did video, and they switched to 15" a while ago

i knew a pro photojournalist who lugged one around in a foam suitcase with his lenses and camera body to be able to do aperture-on-the-go and he was always complaining about it, he basically said anything he did "in the field" would have been fine on a 13" and anything that wasn't he preferred to view at home on a big display

i can't find the data i was looking at but i understand the percentage of mbp sales that were 17" were tiny

Retina display would be excellent for photo editing, imo.

has anyone here ever been to wwdc?

I love my 17 incher (that's what he said)

i'm a 17" man too, had no idea we were rare

i've been to wwdc

cool!

has anyone here ever been to wwdc?

I've been several times.

Why are 17" screens still popular on Windows laptops but not Macs?

ime windows people are more hardware-geeky and value minded than mac people

it's kinda like the question of why rainbow backlit keyboards are more popular on alienware computers than others

ime the 17" windows laptops are usually shit resolution

can i get a rainbow backlit keyboard for my dell?

My Lenovo Thinkpad (14") doesn't have a backlit keyboard, but it does have a single white LED light that shines down like a floodlight from the top of the screen. Not as good, but it beats darkness. And I do use my laptop in the dark....

ifixit teardown in, ram is not user upgradeable, HD is a big 'maybe'

I mean, I guess it's not a big deal, the idea of a computer with parts you can replace yourself is probably dying out. but a retina mbp should cost a minimum of $2200 + $200 for RAM upgrade + $300 for applecare

how much would user-replaceable ram have cost

but a retina mbp should cost a minimum of $2200 + $200 for RAM upgrade

Just as a data point, on my MBP Retina order adding an additional 8GB RAM was $180.

you got the discount double check didn't you? I checked through the normal store and it was $200. probably $180 for education people.

they're called educators.
