[...] this past October, news came that Apple had not forsaken the bigger-screened version, but that its release was delayed due to production issues. Well, we’ve yet to see the 17-incher appear, but now it looks like [...]

Mike J – The basic model isn’t availiable in a 15″ version, that was exactly ndot’s point…with which, I agree with!

Dude the 15″ Macbook is called the Macbook Pro. If you need a 15 spend the extra couple of hundred and get the low end 15″ Pretty simple.

I have inside strong rumor facts from some professionals .. that the 17 inch .. is not at all about the screen… it will be evolutionary/revolutionary in the world of computer technology … I believe it is going to have “Voice Activation” and more… they are also waiting for the new significant better processor from Intel due in 2009 .. and more

I highly doubt that Apple would single out such a large industry as pro photographers just because they “don’t give a damn” about you. Instead of thinking of them as keeping you in the dark, perhaps they just haven’t decided if (or how) they are going to make the matte screen yet. It would also make sense that they are working on improving the matte screen. After all, the new glass screen is much more environmentally friendly now. The matte screen is made of different materials, so they will have to approach it in a different way. There are alot of factors to consider, other than Apple has it out for all you photographers and is willing alienating a considerable chunk of their customer base.

If worse comes to worse and they don’t make a matte screen, have you used a Mac glossy screen for your day to day work? It is amazingly anti-glare. Even in the outdoors. It might take some getting used to from your beloved matte screen, but I am sure you will manage. =)

But who knows, maybe they won’t update it at all. /shrug I guess we will just have to wait and see! As for me, I can’t wait for those 17s to hit the shelves! =D

I think the real question for photographers such as myself is will the new 17″ also come with the Widescreen matte finish (non-glossy) screen. I know many don’t appreciate why photographers would want this configuration, but there those at Apple that do understand, and I’m quite surprised that they would keep mum about what their plans are in this regard. I would wait for the new 17″ if it could be special ordered with a Matte finish. But, sadly, no one knows, and Apple is basically saying that pro photographers are not important enough to us to ease their minds.

Yes, I know that we can hook the laptop up to a Cinema Display, but many of us do work in the field as well as in our studios and at home, and so carrying around a Cinema Display is not an option. In addition, working in the field, where one cannot control control glare from light sources is yet another reason to provide professionals with the choice of the non-glare screen. Our numbers may not be significant in the over all customer base, but alienating loyal customers is not exactly what I would call good thinking on Apple’s part. By not providing the non-glare choice to the new laptops, Apple is effectively telling many of us that while they understand our needs, they frankly don’t give a dam.

It also comes standard with 4GB RAM, which two days ago would have set you back another $200.

By the way, another thing Apple did yesterday was lower their 2GB upgrades to $150. Good news, now they’re only a little over 50% higher than anyone else. :-/
