Well I was really excited leading up to this morning, i just started school for Graphic Design/Vicom and was in the market for a new notebook and was gonna make the switch to a Mac after being a PC for about 15 years now. However i gotta say im a little disappointed with the refresh and probably wont make the switch now. I was in the market for the 17″ macbook pro, but dont like that now i have to choose between a series of options that i can only get on one but not the other. I want a 17″ with a matte screen with 1600×1200 resolution, the new graphics chip, the new keyboard and trackpad, and the new housing(least important) but i cant have all of that on machine, I have to choose. This doesn’t really make sense to me. I can have a low res (1400×900 maximum) 15″ glossy thing i wont be able to see when there is light in the room with all the new features or i can pay full price for the 17″ that doesnt come with any of Apple’s new breakthrus, what gives? Hopefully enough people will complain and by the new year i will be able to purchase the macbook pro with all the features that i want because thats when i’ll be making my purchase, if not they have lost one customer already. It’s to bad too because i will be purchasing Adobe CS4 before next semester for what ever operating system I own at that time as well. Meaning what version i get (either mac or pc) will dictate what the next few computers i purchase will be over the next few years since you cant change version of the software without purchasing a new full version and thats way too expensive. But anyway hope they address this, peace.

Here are some pics of the staff in Sydney installing the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros during store hours.
