Its 99% likely that jobs and his crew will announce the new Macbook Pros on Tuesday. The most possible addition is the upgrade from core 2 to the i5 and i7 and of course more bang for your buck.
Whos pumped! I need a mac

anyone who trys to stay up to date with their computer products is a moron.

get a computer. use it for 4 years. When it stops doing what you need look around and get a new one. Then tune out for another 4 years.

same goes for cameras.

or even longer.

I've had my mbp for 3 years now and plan on using it for another 3-4. I do a lot of work with both video and photos and I have never felt that I've needed one that runs faster.

Is it really worth spending over a thousand to get a little bit of a performance boost?

I'm saying that it's fucking awesome. yeah they're so expensive, but in a couple years it'll go down and the size will go up.

Macs are super nice, I just find them over priced and late on new technology. I got an HP Envy 15 about 3-4 months ago. It has i7 processor, 500gb hard drive, windows 7, 8gb of ram, and a high graphics card for just about 1700. I was SO close to getting a Mac but this was more bang for my buck.

w/e, i love how pc's are half the price of macs for the same hardware. just put some antivirus on your pc and never look at macs again.

Agreed.  My PC is going on 4 years old and I'm fairly concerned for the hard drive.  Not sure if I want to get a new system or not yet, but it would be annoying to purchase a new hard drive, and more RAM, and better ports.  I won't need my computer for anything other than word processing and media next year, so I might consider a Mac for the first time.  I'm sick of Windows, but the price is the decision maker.

Agreed, you're paying for the software for the most part.  Their market is much smaller.

well according to the engadget review, the new ones arent all that different performance wise http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/14/macbook-pro-core-i7-review/ they dont seem much faster on basic tasks, but where they are superior is in their multitasking and automatic graphics switching.

i was a window's OS owner (HP) for quite some time. got very familiar with anti-virus programs and such. then switched to a mack and have no use for any anti virus. its nice. that is the sole reason i buy macs now.

i cleaned the registry a lot. and i dont know, maybe there is a virus but i dont have some faggot windows crap telling me every 3 seconds about it. it doesnt cripple my system or shut things down. its running stable. my windows comp crashed all the fuckin time. just saying, its idiot friendly - for me :)

i also think they could have included more ports, and a HDMI port.

Also, macs arent upgradable once you buy them, so what happens when USB 3.0 comes out?

thats like paying too much for a mac, except you dont even get osx. you just get an overpriced pc. at least you get something different out of a mac.

OMG PC FANBOY VS MAC FANBOY. MY OS IS BETTER THAN YOUR OS


im not trying to get into a which is better argument here. they each have their merits.

but paying a ton for an alienware makes no sense regardless.
