It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone except the naysayers. The new Macbook Pros are flying out of Apple Store. I was at an Apple Store in Orange County California yesterday the 30th, and business was brisk.
First, there is still a line outside the store for the iPhone buyers. While the rest of the mall look sparse, Apple Store looked like an amusement park in summer. What other company at this time will have customers standing in line to get into the store? This is a testament of the Apple brand.


There is no recession at Apple Stores!

Thanks to Link

The 13 inch is a great machine. Although, have seen some bench mark faster than my 2.4 non uni mbp and others slower. For audio work it's a no brained. Anyone know benches on video performance. Ala fcp then motion. Fcp should be aesy ats it's 2D. Motion, Titles on the other hand 3d. Then games please.
Thanks.

The upper level MBP 15" 3.02GHz 7200rpm 500g UNI body is screaming with a second powerful GRU chip <nvida 9600> APPLE now make a great gaming machine. My one will be here by july 9th apple tells me it is made to order oversea's for me. Which is fine because any parts upgrades i will get .
I can't breathe .

And the 17" uni is also a wonderful POWERFUL machine for graphic pro's
offering all of above and a higher end 1080p screen and a matte option and a express card slot also .

And the 999$ mac book white plastic is no slouch either, It will be around as a classic for a long time .

I can see no reason not to buy a MBP right now .
No reason.
Why apple does no have a 35% share in its price class is beyond me .

And now we see where Microsoft's attack ads have failed. Instead of drawing more people away, the ads have woken people up to see that, especially in this economy, Macs have the better long-term value. Way to go, Microsoft!

On another thought, maybe this increase in notebook sales will finally drive Apple to release a Quad-Core chip for the desktop iMac. (Core i7 would be nice, Apple, but it's not a deal-breaker. We just need *four* cores.)

Do you sell apple products too? I think apple would be lucky to have you on their team..

What is beyond you is reality. That is not such a bad thing however, as who cares what the facts on the ground are? I mean, any company that can tell you they are personally making you a computer that is super duper .. and being done thousands of miles from you pillow.. is pretty cool. What is really neat is that it upgrades in production so you get the latest latest bells and whistles right up until they slap it in the box (at which time it is officially obsolete and you are just a number).


i am too becoming breathless and can't breathe... just thinking about all of these wonderful wonderful things happening for you..


seriously, your enthusiasm is fantastically fun to read..

I know i am going to be blasted for writing this. sorry sorry sorry .. it is just so early in the day to be so up up up!!! I need to go take a cold shower right now..

I think MS's ads did help to increase price pressure. I also think Apple did a good job of harmonizing their product line so that the white MacBook didn't look like a forgotten step child. Prices are better, features are improved... why shouldn't they gain?

I did the 12 months interest free financing, but could only get $1500 credit, so I guess the wife's iBook gets replaced first and my 17" MBP will need to wait a few more months.
