I <3 MacBooks!


One ironic thing about this video: it shows scenes of the MacBook up-close, macro shots, sexy, nice, professional, clean, and then they cut away to a shot of a Chinese factory where the aluminium slabs are cut out to form the unibody: unglam, uncool, dirty, rough, disgustingly creamy liquid washing the metal as it is being cut. But hey! friggin lasers on friggin sharks! minus the sharks.

Anyway, I'm really tempted to get a MacBook. Yes, a MacBook. Not the Pro. Its GPU is powerful enough, it's smaller, and it has a swappable Hard Drive! Hallelujah!

My only concern: Really, Apple? You had to remove FireWire 400 off both MacBook & Pro, and no FireWire 800 on the MacBook? Why? And One More Thing: Why No Trackpad Button?! And No Adaptor for the Mini DisplayPort? And no Apple Remote? And Is it any cooler [in Degree Kelvin / Celsius, not the 'sexy' factor'.]. Any Why the heck is the MacBook Pro 0.09kg heavier than the previous version? It's supposed to go down! Not up by 'two-tenth of a pound' up! Go on a fracking diet! And Blu-Ray! A bag of pain? Take it like a man, Steve! No pain, no gain!

Oh, Apple, just to let you guys know, you have a product that is so long in the tooth. enough said. Go design & research, Jony Ive!
