NEW MACBOOK!!!!

[Grant Cox]

I'm not sure how I feel about these. I've been pumped for the announcement ever since the rumor mills started flowing a few weeks ago.

I LOVE the new trackpad (obviously, who wouldn't), but aesthetically they get a "meh" out of 5 from me. Two toning with the keyboards just doesn't fit the Mac style IMO (all the way back to when they had the green base with black keyboard on the old iMacs), and lack of a matte option for the screens is a big fault on their part. The GPU upgrade to two separate chipsets is an awesome touch, and the 'brick' style of manufacturing has supposedly caused it to feel extremely solid and robust.

Overall though, I still prefer my MacBook Pro (which I guess is "last gen" now). The GPU difference would've been nice, and I'll check the campus Apple store tomorrow to see how they look in person, but I'm stickin' to my guns for now.
