Waiting for the MacBook
Well, the MacBook Pro was just announced yesterday, and I already know someone who’s pre-ordered one all pimped out. WIll I be shelling out close to $3k for a new MacBook Pro anytime soon? I think not! My household is enjoying the last wave of iBook goodness, and I honestly can’t justify forking out any more money for another computer this year… even if it does allow me to run Windows simultaneously.
However, lets go ahead and get the ball rolling on the MacBook, that way version two will be available when I’m ready to upgrade. Here is what I hope the MacBook will offer:
- 12″ Widescreen Monitor - Everything is going widescreen, jump on the wagon or get left behind
- Longer Battery Life - A longer battery life is ALWAYS appreciated
- Smaller Power Brick - Or none at all?
- Monitor Spanning - The MacBook Pro and Powerbook can do it… and the hardware supports it…
- Windows Support - Whatever has to be done to allow me to run IE for windows… dual-boots wouldn’t be refused, but not preferred
- Black Case - You know it would be sexy… Just look at the iPod Nano
