MacBook Pro?

January 10th, 2006 at 7:28 pm

Ok, Apple have just announced their new laptop, the Intel powered MacBook Pro. Overall it looks good, those speed claims are certainly impressive, however there are a few unanswered questions that, well, need answers.
MacBook Pro

  1. How long does the battery last? There is a total absence of any estimates on Apple’s site.
  2. Where has the Firewire 800 port gone? Is that it for Firewire 800?
  3. Where is the s-video out? I use that! Any adapter gonna be available to take it from the DVI? The graphics chip is capable of doing it supposedly.
  4. What the heck is a ExpressCard/34 slot? And what did it do with the body of PCMCIA?
  5. It’s a little bigger no?
  6. Why isn’t it cheaper!? (OK, that’s just my stupid fantasies)

Any thoughts?

    Well I’m still trying to work out what the ExpressCard/34 is too, and I think it’s a bit thinner. I think they’ll merge the iBook into the MacBook line, and have the PowerBook separate.
