Apple released the new updated MacBook Pro and MacBook models today. Only 30 days after I bought my MacBook, too. Stupid Apple not going by their usual update/upgrade schedule.

Not really a surprise since most other manufacturers were making the new Penrym Core2Duo's available Apple was bound to do the same thing sooner or later.

Yeah, I was just hoping they'd just update the MacBook Pro, since they hadn't touched the lineup since June (they upgraded the MacBook back in November). Oh well, I'll win some and I'll lose some.

Why not see if you can still return the Macbook you just bought?

I've already checked that and I was told no.

Bummer, but it's also likely that you'd never notice the difference with the new processor.

Yep, and I've used it extensively the past month, so it's not like I bought it and didn't use it. Plus, since I use a wireless mouse 90% of the time with the MacBook, missing out on the Multi-Touch trackpad feature is not a big deal.

And here I am hoping that the laptop that I ordered today will finally mean that I get to start using a laptop extensively again!

Yeah, it's funny how little use my iMac has received the past month.

What did you order, btw?

:fingerscrossed:

What this time?

I think the macbook didn't get the multitouch trackpad, anyway, just the pro

Not saying a thing till it arrives and works flawlessly, I've been entirely too cursed lately to do otherwise.

Ah, good catch there. I just assumed that both lineup received the new trackpad when it was mentioned on the tagline.

wasn't apple trying to make it a point to say that only the macbook air would be getting the new trackpad?

That's never how I read it. I read it as only the air had it at that time. The pro definitely has it, regardless.

Wow, I just checked, and the Mac Pro that I would buy if I won the lottery would run me $22K. Nice.

yeah those fully upgraded mac pros can get really expensive

Surely there's a decimal point missing there. $22,000 for a laptop?

Mac Pro not MacBook Pro

Good idea Nate, and good luck with the next one!

Sorry about the Apple upgrade story, Salty, I have been burned by them so many times it is hard to remember them all. I still love Apple and want them to come out with new stuff, it is just when they are off their normal schedule like this that it cuts even deeper.
