so 1600+ tax for a new MB or 1769 for an old MBP...
 
I have to say as well, REALLY surprised they killed the Matte finish MBP. That's gonna piss off A LOT of people.

What's the current educational discount on the MB? I'll use my sister to buy one, if the weight isn't too bad and the overall dimensions have shrunk a little.

It was $50 on the cheapest model, $100 on the more expensive ones.
 
Interesting.

10:56AM "Blu-ray?"

Steve: "Blu-ray is just a bag of hurt. It's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace

Bit of a disappointment. Can't believe they actually RAISED prices on the MB.

Yea, its kinda odd. They raised and lowered the price of the MB.

$999/$1299/$1599 from $1099/$1299/$1499

Q: Why isn?t HDMI or Blu-ray in there? And Display Port is?
A: HDMI can?t drive our 30-inch display, so we put in Display Port.

What the fuck is this shit?

Engadget doesn't have it as that, they say that the "resolutions are limited" so they put in displayport. Dunno who is right, Gizmodo or Engadget...
