New Macbooks

I've known about the possibility of new Apple notebooks coming out for months now, and finally the day has arrived. Apple sent out the media invitations last week, and today at 10:00am PT, the new notebooks were revealed.

Key points:

• Only one colour available (black screen, silverish body....Still looks nice...but I was hoping for a choice of colour)
• Glossy screen only (No matte...which means outdoors will be a pain)
• New video cards: Nvidia 9400M GT and 9600M GT 256/512(up to 5 times faster than previous used, intel integrated GPUs)
  
• Mini display port (crap...I was hoping for a standardized display port. I hope Apple doesn't turn into Microsoft with this proprietary crap, hoping everyone will follow them).
• Aluminum casing - "Brick" manufacturing. By taking a solid brick of aluminum, they can make a stronger notebook by removing the excess with lasers and then recycling anything left over
• Enlarged Multi-touch Glass trackpad (removed the button so the trackpad is now the button - I could get used to this pretty easily)
• Backlit LED display
• Backlit keyboard

That about sums it up. I've already ordered my Macbook Pro - this will be my first Mac ever:

• 4 GBs of RAM
• 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
• 9600M GT 512MB
• 320GB 7200RPM HD
• 15'' display (my favourite size)

Needless to say, I'm going to be broke for awhile...
