Comments on: Apple to unveil thinner MacBook Pros at WWDC http://www.slashgear.com/apple-to-unveil-thinner-macbook-pros-at-wwdc-14228199/ Feeding Your Gadget and Tech Obsessions Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Andrew Pollack http://www.slashgear.com/apple-to-unveil-thinner-macbook-pros-at-wwdc-14228199/#comment-215047 Andrew Pollack Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:11:00 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=228199#comment-215047 I was being ridiculous to make the point that once you get “thin” to a certain point, it doesn’t really get impressive when you get “even thinner” unless it has some serious benefit. Now, if it were suddenly flexible, crumple-able, foldable, or some other such thing — WOW. If it were strong enough to use as a pry bar or a ramp to push your snow thrower up onto the porch — again, WOW. But going from “really thin” to “really thin-er”…well, meh.

What you do is get a 4TB raid array, and download away.

Maybe another Samsung display in a  Apple product.

That’s why Apple never got it, never going to happen. Besides no one does blue ray anymore, disks are old school.

SSD would mean either far less storage (128GB/256GB), or increase in price.  Yes, 512GB option, but your looking at ~$300 upgrade over the 256GB. 1024GB?  Yes, but out of the roof expensive.

Thinner MBP’s probably will mean no retina display, no CD drive, and SSD only drive.

What I want?
1920x1080p display (at least), 2.7GHz quad core i7, 8GB memory, ~2GB ATI graphics, SSD/HD (128GB/~750GB) pair w/ a Blu-ray drive.  But I don’t need to hold my breath, because 99.99% Apple will never make a laptop like that.

I’ve been holding out for at least 8 months now.
