Does anyone know if the 17-in MBP also get the new LED backlight display?
Has apple upgraded the RAM-speed as well? (since the FSB on the new MBP is 800MHz now, if I'm not mistaken) Thanks |

Right, and Apple didn't *bump* the RAM speed it's more that the motherboard blah blah 667 RAM will work just fine blah blah 800Mhz doesn't make a whole lot of difference blah blah nothing to be concerned about blah blah til Penryn or whatever the fuck it's called blah blah help me chucker you're my only hope blah blah
So it goes. |

It uses the same 667mhz RAM.

Penryn is the next desktop chipset which will relieve some of the bottlenecks in the current system among other things, but will not bring native quad-core processors (duct-tape versions will still be used like today's model). Nehalem is the uber-bad-ass chipset, that will bring said processors, along with a slew of architectural performance improvements. That should be here around this time next year I think. Probably a good 2008 WWDC prediction would be "OMFTow@rz, Nehalem asploded the benchmarks!!one Everything runs 17x faster than all preeeeveeeus models!"
I have no idea what's next for Laptops though. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

Can't wait for my Hydrogen cooled 83 1/2 core 60billionghz Super MacBook Pro Extreme Core 2 87 Duo with 8,000,000mhz FSB and an ATI X237586382923845 Extreme Chuck Norris version. Featuring 2 USB 4.0 ports!

The reason the 17-inch MBP does not have an LED backlight is the same LED Backlights are so rare on anything but mobile-sized screens: it's still hard/expensive to produce at such sizes, and therefore harder on a 17-inch screen than on a 15-inch one. It'll eventually happen. |

1. While they have higher specific heat than water, they're also significantly less dense than water and therefore conduct much less heat. If anything, they'd act more of an insulator than conductor. 2. Hydrogen has a tendency to react violently with free oxygen which also releases a helluva lot of enegry. Read: assplode. 3. Hydrogen leaks. They transport hydrogen as a liquid exactly for that reason. 4. #1 and #3 could be partially solved by pressurizing, but that only exacerbates #2 plus additional risk of puncturing the pressurized chamber which will also assplode. Try again, kid. |

I'm blown away simply by the fact that it'll have a resolution of 1920 x 1200.
I passed by an Apple store today and the current 17" with a res of 1650 x 1050 already looks awesome. |
