Out of a Laptop that thin? wouldn't be any room for bigger battery, im surprised they even got that tbh

Well a MacBook is only 2lbs more and has a 6 hours of battery life

 

[Mr Jones]

Wow, processor upgrade and SSD and I don't reckon you've got a lot of change from £2k

Aye.

A slap in the face tbh.

so 67% heavier and 20% more battery life???

 

[titchard]

Rich

 

[Hxc]

Would buy a thinkpad for that price.

 

[RobH]

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

come on. Displays. Its all i want.

 

[Mr Jones]

retail packaging are 56% less volume than MacBook.

I'd expect that, wouldn't I?
*DUH!*

 

[Steedie]

Please "and one more thing"!

 

[Raymond Lin]

1 usb port, black keys, $1799. Apple has failed.

The 1 USB port thing don't make sense.

 

[One More Solo]

It's a really impressive piece of technology but why would anyone buy it?

 

[bigredshark]

Would buy a thinkpad for that price.

you could buy a nicely speced thinkpad for much less, I used to love the thigns but I'm not so keen now lenovo have got hold of them...

 

[Steedie]

Well that sucks

 

[BeatMaster]

so 67% heavier and 20% more battery life???

Oh hold on...With Wi-Fi on, browsing the web, you get 5 hours of battery life So could possibly see 6 hours

 

[gumbald]

Looks like we're done...

 

[Eddietop]

lol it will be border on £1000 to buy here, pathetic tbh. Huge let down.

 

[RobH]

I think the main buyers will be people who don't like carrying aorund a heavy MacBook everywhere but have to have a Mac.

 

[gumbald]

Try again! More than that!

 

[Slogan]

Was funny.

Everyone creaming themselves and then the price is announced and it's like a blow-torch to the man bits.

Apple are insane if they think that will sell at that price with that keyboard.

well, what are you going to do with it for 6 hours? can't watch a DVD unless you rip it first or have it in itunes. It's not going to be much news for photoshop users and processor use will eat the battery much faster than wifi...
