shockz Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I would count on 1366 by 768 Dobut it, Apple has been marketing high res "retina" displays. Look at the mba... big focal point was better res than compeitiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 The reason why I'm not going to buy the refresh models is because I just bought the 2010 MBP model, so I don't think it's time for me to upgrade just yet. I plan on running this one for as long as I can before they make some sort of irresistible change that I must have. Hopefully I can make this last 3-4 years like my first-gen Black MacBook. That said, I think if the rumours are correct, this revision will be pretty feature-loaded and exciting. Hopefully they find a better way to do GPU switching, because the way it is handled on my 2010 model could be much better... and hopefully they finally integrate some sort of high speed interface like USB 3.0 or LightPeak. And a Black MacBook Pro would be amazing, but don't hold your breath. I also hope they stick to the 16:10 aspect ratio. I absolutely loathe 16:9 laptops (almost every other laptop other than Apple has fallen to this unfortunate fate). The extra vertical pixel count is nothing to shake a stick at. PC users look at my 15" MBP and think it's a 17". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBPs have pretty high resale value, if there are enough useful changes from the upcoming update then you'll probably end up paying the difference for an updated model.

Darth Radeon Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 can you expand on how this is relevant? :unsure: I'm not sure what you mean, you mentioned resolution but most of time Apple increases the resolution on specific models according to screen size and graphics.

BGM Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'm not sure what you mean, you mentioned resolution but most of time Apple increases the resolution on specific models according to screen size and graphics. so you're saying that "yes, they are likely to increase the resolution" ? the way your response is phrased didn't seem to lean one way or another, also the fact i don't give a damn about gaming confused me a bit, lol :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidSolstice Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 So it seems to be all but certain. The new Macbook Pros have already shipped to retailers, but Apple is threatening to pull their licenses to sell if they open the shipments before being given the ok. I seriously cannot wait to see what's in store. http://www.slashgear.com/macbook-pro-sales-stalled-until-refresh-resellers-warned-over-mysterious-stock-21134772/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone will sell for "cheap" considering macs don't depreciate very fast. I personally sold mine for $50 more than what I paid :whistle: Edit: If I manage to sell my iMac I might consider just getting a 27" Cinema Display and just using the macbook as my only machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

instant.human Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If someone opened the pallet just to see the new design of the product, how would Apple know? Because the one that opened the pallet would carry a little friend called Mr. Blurrycam and it would leak all over the internet. That's how Apple would know. ;) Or could you keep it to you if it was amazingly revolutional or just really, really different to what the MBPs look today and you knew there were folks willing to pay for Mr. Blurrycams blurry pictures? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
