So I spilled some wine into my MacBook Pro and fried it...badly. Fortunately, Apple released their new MacBook Pro's the next day, priced only a few hundred dollars over the repair bill for an older model. Voila.
I think my new friend and I are going to get along just fine.
As you can see, the new MacBook Pro design takes cues from the wildly successful iPhone. Covering the display in glass, and framing it with a black border, rather than a metal frame really seems to open up the frame more. The glass trackpad barely feels like glass, and the multitouch interface (though not a new feature, only a newly marketed feature) certainly has potential, though its uses are currently limited (which is exactly what I wrote about when I got my Early-2008 MacBook Pro.
Is Apple going to alienate the elite by giving the entry-level MacBook the same design as the über-powerful MacBook Pro? I don't care, really.
