Light peak promises higher bandwidth, not lower latency. I don't see why latency would be lower than what you get over, say, ethernet.Quote:

No? I would have thought transfer speed was directly related to latency? Either way it's a ridiculous feature. Could be a bit grim for firewire products thoughQuote:

Although I won't buy one, looking forward to the announcement too. Not expecting any major design updates though!
will be on the lookout
I've been holding off on getting an MBP since December waiting for the refresh. Can't wait.
It's very possible they could start selling on Thursday. Intel's Sandy Bridge problem reportedly wasn't as big an issue with MacBook Pros. And Apple has been shipping palattes wrapped in black plastic to its retail outlets with strict warnings not to open the packages until indicated.Quote:

But Amazon and BestBuy have posted the price of the base 13" at $1199. Of course, those could just be "placeholder" prices. I'm praying we find out on Thursday.
I already saw whats underneath the pallete Mark do not open until Apple says so.
Don't taunt me Jesse. Things will get ugly =/ Lol.
