Just like the rest of you I checked in on a live blogcast from Apple’s WWDC. I like what I am hearing about the MacBook Pro refreshes. The 15″ MacBook Pro will start at $1699. That’s a little more than I wanted to spend for my next laptop ($1,000 – $1,500), but it is low enough to put the MacBook Pro in contension. I will have to check out its specs over the next couple of days.
The 13″ MacBook Pro (yes, 13″ Pro, the MacBook label is only on the older “white” version) will start at $1,199, just a little down from starting at $1,299. I will have to revisit my reviews of reviews of 13″ laptops here. I was close to giving up on the MacBook because the last refresh, which brought us the aluminum chassis, got a slower CPU allowing the competition to catch up. I will look into the MacBook specs over the next few days and plan an update to my laptop comparison spreadsheet.
