How would you change Apple’s Penryn-based MacBook Pro?

February 29th, 2008 | Category: Tech Talk

Filed under: ,

While everyone and their second cousin third removed had something to say about Apple’s ultra-sexy, ultra-hamstrung MacBook Air, we’ve a sneaking suspicion that folks previously eager about that week’s MacBook Pro updates will be equally vocal. For whatever reason, Cupertino faithful had February 26th pegged on their calender, and while the addition of a Penryn or two was nearly a given, the dreamers in the crowd had much higher hopes for that fateful Tuesday.

Nevertheless, the day came and went, and the re-opening of the online Apple store brought a whole heap of disappointment to many. certain, folks still (somehow) enamored with the aging MBP design were thrilled to have access to a more potent, less scalding iteration of

their favorite machine, but honestly, we’re still using the GeForce 8600M GT? Really, Apple? Needless to say, that refresh likely did little to satisfy your desire for a revamped MacBook Pro, but we’re interested in finding out precisely what it is you really wanted. An option for an SSD? What about a built-in Blu-ray drive? Would integrated HDMI form things more appealing? Or is a top-down case redesign the only thing stopping you from abusing your credit card in the name of Steve Jobs? Go on, we know you folks are chock full of good ideas, so let’s form out ‘em, shall we?
