Do you really think they added SD card slots so late in the game just for photo transfers? I don't.ģ) The most pressing issue seems to be the next revision of the 13" MBP. I think they might add AACS support in the future, but only well after ODDs have been removed from their notebooks. After years of waiting for Blu-ray each new release pulls farther and farther away from Apple supplying BRDs in Macs. A USB drive or SD card with some funky design just for the Mac OS X Restore Disc utilizing the cheapest, slowest NAND would still faster than any DVD, use less power and be cheaper when you consider the cost savings from drive, too. I think that would mean the removal of widely unused internal ODD in their next release. With the 9400M being on par with Intel HD, I would think that is an okay tradeoff as long as the anemic battery duration is increased, and price once again lowered (but not to the foolish sub-MacBook prices some people think it should simply because it's less powerful than a MB).Ģ) If the MBA does get discontinued, I think that speaks more for the future of Mac notebooks than for it being a result of the iPad. The next update for the MBA should be the CULV Core-i7, hopefully with 4GB RAM and with a greatly improved battery life. The MBA still makes a lightweight device for travel if you need to do a lot of typing. The iPad for traveling weighs greatly with consuming not creating. Once I get my iPad 3G.I will seriously be thinking of dropping my iPhone 3Gs for a 'dumb' phone and tell ATT to 'stuff the $110/mo iPhone fees up their nose!'ġ) I think the MBA has its place. All I need is my iPhone 3Gs, iPad 3g and a 27" iMac.and I'm good to go along with my AppleTV! I also think with the advent of the iPad that has pretty much killed the MBA.I know it has for me. Knowing Apple, they (MBP's) would most likely be a little thinner, too!
And a lot lower price.īut, now I think Apple should just 'dump' the SuperDrive in the MacBookPro's and use the space for larger batteries.add SSHD's and you have an 'instant-on' laptop with a ~15 to 20hr battery life. Obviously, the MBA's would need a lot more RAM & larger SSHD's. I was thinking that in conjunction with the MacBookPro lineup, the MBA was the future.eventually adding a 15" and 17" with the idea of supplanting the MBP dominance.
