Am i going mad or have Apple just re-badged the 13" Unibody Macbook as a Macbook Pro?

I can't see any difference to my 13" Uni Macbook to the new 13" Macbook Pro on the Apple Store.

FireWire? SD Card?

Mmm so same price as when the first 3G was released?

What does this mean for me as a PAYG customer?

I bought my 3G in September and recently it's developed a rattle and when I took it into the Apple store in Liverpool they said I could probabaly get a replacement for free (they checked for moisture in the headphone jack and nothing there). Think I could get a 3GS replacement or if I got a new replacement.. ebay it and get 3GS for presumably, £350 PAYG?

 

[InsomniaCalls]

Not sure what I expected but I won't be paying £15-£30 a month for tethering!

O2: Full price list is really hard to fit into 140 characters - it'll be on our website very soon

looool

I expected it to be an upgrade worthy of a keynote - not the same form factor with much of the "upgrades" being brought about by software that the older versions will be able to use.

So... what were you hoping it would do?

Seems like Apple are damned if they do bring the new features to the old handsets, damned if they don't.

LOL. That's horrible. Especially considering you have unlimited (mobile) 3G + WiFi already.

I tanned 8GB down last month, while without cable internet, with NetShare

Bah just saw that.. how come they didn't mention that in the keynote FFS?

 

[apeZ]

Gah... do Americans get it better than us? When they cited $99 for the 3G iPhone, I had my hopes up for £60-70 here, then went on the store to be greeted with a nice £340 tag :/

Tethering isn't available in the US yet, and they never give UK prices.

$90 they meant on contract. not payg

u can get iphone 3g free on £30 contract. so effectively you have a better deal

I can't see any difference to my 13" Uni Macbook to the new 13" Macbook Pro on the Apple Store.

Pro also has backlit keyboard, LED backlight for the screen, SD card slot, FW800, glass multi touchpad and 2hrs extra battery life.

Great so I can upgrade to the 3GS...in december :/

 

[NickK]

The stupid tabs in Safari 4 have gone back to the correct place. Hurray!

Ahhhh just noticed that.. I preferred the window bar way - less space taken up by the tabs!

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

I think Apple are screwed next year, what the hell are they gonna add? iPhone OS 3.0 and the 3GS tick pretty much every box in the wish list, there's not really any killer features to add...

hmmm
64Gig
Camera with Flash
OLED
front facing confrence camera
Fast hardware still

just to name a few?

 

[OzyOly]

Trying to get the OS3.0 GM seed, but can't log in, it keeps failing to open the page.

Also, still no ruddy bluray support, what a joke.

 

[glitch]

Mostly, giving the base 15" the integrated 9400m only is a little cheap - just a little mind you as it's a good price for the spec and apple seem to have decided everyone can have 4GB of RAM now, which is nice...

I agree about the base 15" but everything else seems like good value for the spec, especially with the new prices.

The 17" seems like staggeringly good VFM now, especially with the price drop.

So, what is the difference between this data and my unlimited data I get on the iPhone tariff?? Terrible.
