GBK.Xscape Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 So do you mean that people are not buying computers anymore but just iPhones and iPods?

rollcage Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I hope they don't do too much to the MBP cause I just got one a couple weeks ago. Oh well, I'm happy with what I have anyways. Anyone think they might give the MB it's own dedicated video card? It's about time they start moving away from integrated graphics.

Oh well, that's what you get for not waiting for Leopard Word is there will be all new laptops, a new Mac Pro, and Superdrives will be Blu-Ray compatible Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65744-macs-not-selling-in-stores/#findComment-465687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why anybody would buy a computer when a brand new OS is coming in a month or two is beyond me. Is there a reason why apple is supporting Blu-Ray and not HD-DVD?

Magnetic_dud Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Is there a reason why apple is supporting Blu-Ray and not HD-DVD? Reason 1: Apple is a member of the Blu-Ray Disc Association http://www.blu-raydisc.com/general_informa...4009/Index.html Reason 2: Microsoft is a member of the HD-DVD Promotion Group http://www.hddvdprg.com/eng/about/member.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65744-macs-not-selling-in-stores/#findComment-465895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDee Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 If they touch the mbp's i will stab Steve in the eye. I just bought one recently as well But suppose he stabs back and stabs both your eyes in the process? You won't have {censored} to look at then. Just be careful, I heard that he has a custom iPhone with a built in knife. Very sharp too.

Azurael Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Why would they update the MBP 15+17"; they only just did?! It doesn't need updating... Rumours are silly Maybe they'll add a 12/13" MBP with dedicated graphics. That would be cool.

Colonel Ingus Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Reason 1:Reason 2: Those reasons are rubbish. No one held a gun to Apples head and forced them to join the Blu-ray group, and they certainly didn't join it just because MS joined the HD camp. Plus you're assuming that MS picked their group first. It's more likely that Apple chose Blu-ray because the specs for Blu-ray are much higher, and Apple has always been about cutting edge high-end.

I too want a Powerbook 12" replacement for Christmas. It could be just like my iPod touch: from me, to me! I love those gifts. They're my favorite, cause it's always what you wanted. Not like socks or something completely useless that you'll bust out with and use only when whoever gave it to you comes over.

Azurael Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Both Blu-Ray and DVD will fail while they have DRM so complex almost everybody runs into problems using them. I couldn't really care less which technically wins. I won't buy something I could one day, out of the blue, be unable to play and hand over yet more power over the technology I use every day to big business.
