“After playing with the 17-inch MacBook Pro for a couple of minutes, it pretty much feels like one would expect. Apple’s new unibody construction makes the machine feel even sturdier, and its slight loss in weight is an appreciated, though hardly noticeable, bonus,” Chartier reports.

Just out of curiosity – I may have missed it in the various write-ups – are the hard drive and memory easily replaceable / upgradable by the user? My guess is no – the machine is more like the Air than the 15 Inch MacBook Pro.
Peace.
But is the hard disk user-replaceable like with the other pros?
I also wonder if the battery is user replaceable when it fails…

I’m wondering if the battery issue was the reason for the delayed launch of this 17”er.
Nah, it was so Phil would have something to announce; and, that’s why MWSF is no more. Having to delay or pre-release products to match MWSF’s schedule and not Apple’s is no way to run a business!

It’s actually an inventory issue. They don’t really want to carry the “matte” (or anti-glare) screen, due to their product line simplification strategy. But there is a demand, so they are compromising, but charging $50 for the extra production-line & inventory expenses.
It’s amazing to me how so many people spout off when they clearly don’t understand even the most basic of business concepts. But that’s par-for-the-course for you, Reality Check.
It’s something extra. Extra costs more.
