MacBook Pro and the 'Missing' Ports
SchwarzTech's Eric Schwarz says that Apple surprised everyone
at the WWDC with its revised MacBook Pros offered at lower prices, and
with a bit of irony he observes that some users are less smitten than
others with a few of the changes announced.
Eric notes that there are those who slavishly and uncritically go
along with every design and marketing decision Apple makes, pointing
out that If the latter cohort was in the majority, we'd probably have
seen FireWire disappear from the Mac lineup, rather than being restored
by popular demand on the new 13" MacBook Pro,
while on the balance if the foot-draggers in the Apple user community
completely held sway, we would most likely still be using Macs with
round serial ports, ADB, and SCSI.
I would add probably even floppy drives. There is a balance to be
struck....
Editor's note: A former Low End Mac
writer, Schwarz makes the point is that nobody has lost anything!
Need a 15" MacBook Pro with an ExpressCard slot? Every version except
for the latest has it. Want a matte display? Buy a 15" MacBook Pro
pre-unibody, when that was the norm. Need to be able to swap out the
battery? Buy a pre-2009 MacBook Pro.
The flaw comes from thinking that older Macs are somehow obsolete
when a new model is released. Nothing could be further from the truth!

My MacBook Pro Doesn't Have a Parallel Port!
FireWire Is Back!
Technologizer's Harry McCracken says:
"Of all the news that came out of Monday's Apple WWDC keynote, one
tidbit that didn't get much attention is worthy of note: Apple's
refresh of its 13-inch laptop
brought back the FireWire port that had been removed when the first 13-inch unibody
MacBook shipped last October . . . It's a truly
surprising development. Apple has historically been aggressive about
erring on the side of removing technologies from its computers early
. . . In fact, I thought that other Macs would begin to lose
their FireWire. I was wrong."

FireWire Is Back, ExpressCard Is Wack
GizMag's Tim
Hanlon says:
"As someone who had a lot to say about the missing FireWire 400
ports from the last generation of [aluminum] MacBooks, I'm glad to see
the return of the FireWire port to the new 13" MacBook Pro.
Unfortunately, it seems like a case of one step forward, one step back
for the MacBook Pro range, with only the 17" model
being equipped with the ExpressCard/34 slot that many users have come
to rely on."

13" & 15" MacBook Pros Afflicted with Slower
SATA?
The Register's
Chris Mellor says Apple may have switched to a slower SATA interface
with some new MacBook Pros, and notes that the alleged SATA "degrade"
shouldn't affect hard disk drive MacBook users, but may well affect
users with high performance Flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs).

Afflicted with SATA 'Degrade'?
Why Did Apple Limit the SATA Bus to 1.5 Gbits/s in
New MacBook Pros?
Hardmac's
linathael and Lionel say that Many hypotheses have been expressed to
understand why the MacBook Pro SATA bandwidth has been reduced by half,
but they do not find any of them valuable. It might also be a bug or a
deliberate choice made by Apple to save power and extend battery life.
So, with the new MBP, the SATA bandwidth is limited to 130 MB/s
according to several tests. In other words, it does not make sense to
invest in a ultra-fast SSD delivering 200 MB/s or more in read/write
speed on the 13" and 15" MBP.

University Claims Glossy Computer Screens Are a
Health Hazard
The Queensland University of Technology at Brisbane, Australia, has
posted a web page containing health and safety considerations for Apple
Macintosh "glass"/high gloss monitor screens, warning that glossy
displays could cause the operator to adopt awkward postures when
viewing the monitor screen and using related equipment that may in turn
lead to an injury.
Editor's note: Mention of high-gloss monitors and laptops running
Windows is completely missing from this page. Based on my experience
with an Acer notebook, PC laptops tend to have worse glare issues than
Macs. dk

'I Won't Buy a Mac with Glossy Screen'
Blogger MacMatte says Apple must offer the matte screen for iMacs
and all MacBook (including Air and Pro) models - and contends this is
an issue that won't die down with the passing of time.
MacMatte argues that glare from glossy screens causes eye strain for
many people, and matte screens solve this eye health issue, which he
says has to do with the physiology of the human eye, some people being
prone to eyestrain when starring for hours at reflective surfaces,
although others are not bothered.
Editor's note: TechRestore offers
a mail-in matte screen retrofit for 13" ($169) and 15" ($199.99)
MacBook Pros that is not just a spray-on anti-glare finish but
completely replaces the glossy LCD screen with a matte finish,
non-glossy screen along with a matching black bezel that surrounds the
screen and is covered by a 1-year TechRestore warranty. cm

5 Things Still Missing from Apple Notebooks
Notwithstanding
Andrew
Fishkin's (and
my) contention that the new 13" MacBook Pros are close to
perfection, Cnet's Dan Ackerman says they still suffer from at least
five significant deficiencies:
- no matte screen option (other than the optional $50 anti-glare
coating add-on for the 17" MacBook Pro)
- no Blu-ray drive
- no mobile broadband support
- no HDMI output without a third-party adapter
- no touchscreen/tablet option.
That said, CNET has bestowed the coveted Editors' Choice award on
the new 13" and 15" MacBook Pros.

Multi-Touch Coming to Older MacBooks? Not So
Fast
TUAW's Chris Rawson notes that while
MacLife and Gizmodo have both reported that Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow
Leopard" will add multitouch gestures to all older MacBooks and
MacBook Pros, this is incorrect. If you have a MacBook Pro manufactured
before early 2008 or any plastic MacBook, Snow Leopard or not,
multitouch isn't coming your way. Apple's information on Snow Leopard's
enhancements reads, "All Mac notebooks with Multi-Touch trackpads now
support three- and four-finger gestures, " which raises the question as
to what is the difference between a multitouch trackpad and a regular
one, and which models have it?

Is Safari as Fast as Apple Claims?
TG Daily's
Wolfgang Gruener says:
"If you followed the Apple-dominated tech headlines over the past
week, then you know that Apple's Safari browser is the fastest web
browser you can use at this time. That is, of course, if you believe
Apple and its claims about its 'incredible' browser. But is it really
the fastest? We ran the software and its rivals through several
benchmarks to find out.
"The tests reveal that based on results provided by the most common
benchmarks, Safari is the fastest browser among the top four today, but
subjectively the difference can feel subtle."

Dell Adamo 13 vs. MacBook Air
Electronista
says:
"Dell has had a long history of ultraportables, but when Apple
released the MacBook Air in early 2008, it underscored a wide gap in
terms of design: while Latitudes have always been functional, they've
rarely been alluring to home (or simply design-centric) users in the
way the Air was. The Adamo 13 is Dell's attempt to rectify this with an
ultra-slim profile and attention to quality. But is it a case of
improving on what's come before or just a Latitude in better packaging?
Our full Adamo 13 review hopes to settle this question once and for
all."
