Local Time: 02:21 PM | Yep, did it myself. It's pretty easy. Pop out the battery, unscrew a little metal cover, and voila. You just need a tiny philips screwdriver to get those screws out (I used a swiss army knife...  ). I got it from www.crucial.com. |

Local Time: 11:21 PM | Awesome, I just heard today that the new laptops have cheap versions that go for about 800 dollar! That's cheap!

Local Time: 02:21 PM | So they announced them. Apple Pretty sleek - and lots of great new features - the Macbooks especially got a huge step up in overall value. However, the glossy screens are a big turnoff for me - too many unwanted reflections (which is especially annoying for photo editing...). I'm happy with mine.  |

Local Time: 05:21 PM | Other than the fancy mousepad, glossy screen and new casing, what are the new features? I didn't notice anything worth the upgrade in price. The MacBook actually came down $100 is still faster than the low end New MacBook. I might just go with a while MacBook. The new features do nothing for me - though the casing is kinda nice. |

Local Time: 02:21 PM | The biggest improvement to me is the graphics card. 5x faster performance, plus the ability to use the notebook screen plus an external monitor at the same time is a significant step up. Better keyboard, better trackpad with multitouch/gestures (makes trackpads soooo much nicer to use), sturdier enclosure, and the 2.4ghz model even has the illuminating keyboard of the Pros. It's really become a baby MacBook Pro now. Shame they had to go with glass screens across the board though. It looks very sleek, but it really is a pain in the ass for critical editing work. Unless you buy a hood for it. |

Local Time: 05:21 PM | ^ Yeah I'm not wild about the gloss screen only thing either but I'm guessing all their new products are going to go this way? I doubt I'll want to replace my MBP anytime soon, anyway.

Local Time: 11:21 PM | They're already out in Holland! Next week my rents are on holidays so I'll get mine prolly the week after, since they have a credit card that instantly insures stuff you buy with it for 2 years!

Local Time: 05:21 PM | Glossy screens are made directly by the Devil himself, but the new re-design looks sick.

Local Time: 02:21 PM | How long ago did the iPhone first come out? A student today mentioned taking pictures on one when she was "little" and that freaked me out. 'Cause to me, they're new. |
