There closing the gap that's for sure. You have to remember SSDs are 2.5 inch drives, so while they can't compete with 3.5inch storage, they're catching up to laptop drives awfully quickly. Hell, 1TB 2.5 inch drives have been around for two years and you still can't get one that spins at 7200rpm. 3-4 years and the…

I said use an SSD in the 1.8 FORM FACTOR. iPods uses 1.8 inch HDD for their iPod classics. Put an SSD in there instead of a traditional harddrive, give it a faster sata connection and put it in the macbooks.

I wish Apple would have used an SSD in the 1.8inch form factor like they've used in iPods for years. That would allow for third party manufacturers to develop around a standard, one that would be eventually be adopted by PC makers as well. This would allow them to keep the device thin, while still satisfying their…

I'm not sure what program you were using to stream before, but do realize that native streaming won't transcode formats on the fly that aren't supported by the PS3, like the program 'PS3 Media Server' does. Mostly it isn't an issue unless you have MKV files.

I realize they have a non-retina 15 inch MBP but I thought retina was the only thing it lacked, I thought the form factor was the same and apparently it's not. I didn't think Apple would release two 15 inch pros with different form factors at the same time but they did.

Opening it up never voided the warranty. You could always change the RAM without voiding the warranty, not sure about HDD though.

I bought a MBP this winter because I knew this was going to happen. I saw the writing on the wall with the Macbook Air. The only way to make it thinner was to ditch all the standardized equipment which meant soldered on RAM and non-2.5 inch SSD. I may not have retina but I have a 2.4GHz i7, 16GB of RAM a 128GB SSD and…

Actually it uses an 1600MHZ DDR3 so two 8GBx2 is actually abotu $100.

HDD =/= SSD.

Time to move on.

Now I understand why the 15inch MBP price has been artificially high, even for a premium machine, the last couple years. It's so they could stick this ridiculous display in it without raising the price to much. I mean seriously they don't even make 1080p TVs smaller than 27inches, and this thing is super-HD in a 15…

A pokemon MMO would have to be carefully done. Kids like pokemon, really young kids so how do you 'protect' them from an open online community. Plus there's also the fact that anyone past puberty is going to HATE a pokemon universe filled with way to many 8-10 year olds.

No just laughably big SSDs at 412 and 756GB!

Thunderbolt/usb 3.0 adapter. I know it's not uber convenient but it's not like it's gone forever.

Is anyone else starting to notice this trend. Alot of my younger friends don't have TVs and don't feel the need to ever get one because their computer screen is good enough for them

I torrent Game of Thrones but I also have HBO, sometimes I watch it live on HBO, sometimes I torrent it to watch later that week. I don't feel guilty about it because it's a product I already paid for, and 1.5GB MKVs are easier than dealing with discs and offer better quality than streaming and iTunes movie DRM which…

If that's next gen, it'll be the most pathetic quality leap to the next console generation ever.

No just no, irregular face buttons, a Z button that only pressed down on one side, springy shoulder buttons with awkward shapes that took forever to register a command with a hard click, and the c-stick was a poor excuse for a second analogue stick.

Anyway to make this the default without having to press option+shift either with Secrets, or KeyRemap4Macbook, or even in the keyboard preferences?

It's a PS3 exclusive that's the problem. If the show was on 360 it wouldn't be that big a story.
