And one can choose the internal SSD capacity based on using an external drive to supplement storage space (I chose 500 GB SSD). Now I’ve got a really powerful computer with a great display.

Remember how expensive 16 GB RAM used to be? And how your laptop couldn’t accept more than 4 GB RAM? That wasn’t very long ago.

Are you nuts?! For you, maybe. Let me tell you a little secret: The whole world does not revolve around “you”!

If you want more RAM or a larger drive pay up suckers, Apple will be more than glad to overcharge you.

Mac Pro though as Tim Cook stated won’t be out until sometime in 2013. I’m guessing sometime in the spring. Hopefully it will have been worth the very long wait and they will not let the Mac pro languish like this again.

Much as I don’t want to spend money on Amazon products in principle they do have some nice readers. Their Kindle app took a giant step backward (and why I preferred it over Apple’s iBooks) when it used to remember the brightness setting independent of the regular brightness setting so you have to set it each time you go in and out of the app. Sucks! Why? WHY???

My daughter (teenager) broke 2 inside 3 months (and keep in mind she has a 3 year old iPod touch she constantly carries with her that has not a crack).
After doing some research (and talking to people socially) I found her experience is far from unique. Apparently the e-ink screen are quite fragile internally and are subject to failure of the case is flexed much at all (something the newer thinner kindles plastic cases do very easily)

BTW Sold the 2nd replacement on ebay and the daughter got a nook tablet (she wanted a small carry along e-reader and felt the iPad was just too big) and it has been reliable. (no problems so far (1 yr old))

But as a professional user I need the new Mac Pro. Hopefully that isn’t too far off. But this event will be about the iPad mini. I’m sure the new Retina 13 inch MB Pro will be nice but compared to the iPad mini it’s just an afterthought.

Shame they can’t have e-ink and LCD screens in one somehow.

No need for the 13″ form factor. I own a 13″ MBA and a 15″ MBP RD and…. the 15″ is simply perfection.
