Waiting for New MacBook Pro to appear on Apple Store today? Don’t hold your breath. February 16, 2010

Maybe this Tuesday Apple would release the new Core i5/i7/i405 MacBook Pros. Well, I’ve been waiting for the 72-core MacBook Pro for a long time. I’m due for a new Computer, and I want another MacBook Pro. The last purchase I made was 4 years ago when the first generation MacBook Pro was released.
OK, I have seen some Core i7 laptops and so far I am not impressed. HP Envy 15 is a disaster. No optical drive, horribly unusable trackpad and not worth the sticker price.
Come on Apple, where’s my Core i37 MacBook Pro? Yeah, the one with 73-core CPU.
You can go back to sleep now, and stop F5-ing the Apple Store page.
February 09, 2010 – Apple Store is Down for Updates. February 9, 2010
Posted by very in : Announcement, Apple, Mac OS X, MacBook, Media, News, Resources, Snow Leopard, Tech , add a commentUpdate: Apple introduces Aperture 3
It’s 4:00 AM and I’m still awake, don’t know why.
Anyway, Apple Store is down for updates. I bet they’re going to add the fabled 16-core MacBook Pro today…errr…that doesn’t really exist. I’m really hoping a Quad-Core MacBook Pro.
Based on the circulating rumors, Core i5 and Core i7 MacBook Pro is coming really soon.
Now, if only I could get that one company the salary they owe me, I could immediately buy the 16-core MacBook Pro.

The HQ has just provided us Windows 7 Enterprise Edition to review. Yes it is the RTM version.
Windows 7 was installed smoothly on a 32GB Boot Camp partition. Both Ethernet and WLAN card are functioning.
I inserted Snow Leopard DVD to install the Apple specific drivers fir this MacBook Pro Core Duo. All seem to have gone well.
After a few minor Windows Update and reboots, I was “reminded” that there was no anti-malware installed. For testing purpose, I installed Windows Security Essentials. I rebooted the system shortly after. Then came along troubles. Windows 7 locked up after every successful
MacBook Pro, The Quad-Core Dilemma. October 23, 2008
Posted by very in : Announcement, Apple, Applications, Apps, Leopard, Mac OS X, MacBook, Media, News, Rants, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a commentI have been waiting since January 2008 to replace my original MacBook Pro Core Duo. I’ve written about MacBook Pro Early 2008 and MacBook Pro Late 2008 (also this) since then. Around August 2008, I stumbled upon informations on MacBook Pro with Quad-Core processors.
I had high hope that Apple would release Quad-Core MacBook Pro on “The spotlight turns to notebooks” event. The new Aluminum Unibody MacBook Pro is nice, but it is still missing the Quad-Core I really want.
I am using my Original MacBook Pro Core Duo to write this post; it is still a capable machine. I’ve done tons of video editing on this MacBook Pro. With a 7200 RPM hard-drive, this MacBook Pro Core Duo beats newer MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo with 5400 RPM hard-drive.
Yes it is still a great computer.
I was going to buy the new Unibody MacBook Pro on the first day it was available. For some reasons, there have been some kind of divine intervention that prevented me from spending the hard-earned dollars.
I do have the sense that the MacBook Pro would gain Quad-Core as an option around January 2009. It is based on my gut feelings, backed by some informations that I’ve gathered. I’ve been through this road before, and I’m sure that if and when I got the new Unibody MacBook Pro, the Quad-Core option would be added a few months after.
Decisions, decisions.
