I have the i7 MBP and it is awesome. It has the processing power to do serious work ("video games") and also the mobility to do it on the train. I'd be bummed

I have the i7 MBP and it is awesome. It has the processing power to do serious work ("video games") and also the mobility to do it on the train.
I'd be bummed out if they made the MBP basically a larger MacBook Air. I think most people buy the 15" MBP because they want a mobile workstation, rather than an ultraportable. For example, I hope the new 15" MBP has a top end video card.
- bergie 16y agoRemoving the optical drive and switching to SSD shouldn't make it any less a workstation. These changes would allow for a bigger battery, for instance, which would enable them to increase processing power without losing battery life.
- ericd 16y agoThe wedge shape would seemingly involve a lot of compromises to get that form factor, which isn't necessarily what MBP buyers are looking for. Personally, since it's my primary machine, I'm looking for the most powerful/connectable machine they can fit in 15 inches, shape/weight be damned. The changes you mention wouldn't be bad, it's more the other Air-like attributes that I wouldn't want.
