So much Mac fan buggery I could throw up.
Where did this light peak come from? If they do that I most likely won’t be buying one…you know how many problems they are gonna have with that? Theres a difference between implementing new technology and having a product be a beta test…
SSD will store everything from apples image disk right? but applications can’t be loaded onto it at 16gb…so basically the only benefit will be boot times.
So now I can access itunes in .1 seconds instead of .2…YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
But traktor will load at same speed.
And latency won’t be affected by lightpeak
Traktor is a monolith binary with few big resource files. What this means is that once you start the app, it loads into the memory and there are not much additional/frequent I/Os related to library loading and stuff. Practically, if it’s a 16G you might be able to fit Traktor and few other frequently used apps on the SSD. It all depends on how Apple has designed the mount points and the overal file system layout, but it’s an Unix like OS, so there should always be a way.
The OS itself on an SSD will be a huge benefit for sure. Do not underestimate this! The OS and it’s surroundings is multiple files, libraries, background processes and so on and so on. The SSD with it’s fast access times will boost the user experience significantly!
It would have been nice to have the user’s Library folder on the SSD, as that’s where the frequently used app settings and resources are located. This unfortunately is not very wise to do on a 8 or 16G partition.
BTW, Macrumors also suggest that it’ll be [ame=“Intel Turbo Memory - Wikipedia”]Intel Turbo Memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] and not just an SSD.
Hmmm… Maybe Apple could also tinker around that SSD with some sort of encryption that wont allow for the several OSX tweaks and other 3rd party applications/functions available. The incorporation of the app store outside iOS devices could be a way to further limit the user ability to tinker inside the OS. Maybe later Apple computers will need some sort of jailbreak to allow 3rd party apps making a more closed experience.
Time will tell.
Damnit jesc tell me what the secrets are! Pm me 
!
i hope they add more USB slots as having only 2 is the main reason i didnt buy a mac (and on the same side and so close together)
Interesting. Of course, if Apple is content with the two 6Gbps SATA ports, they would be able to start shipping fairly soon.
Ummm… there won’t be any sort of iOS style touch screen gesture system. And there are already gestures on the trackpads.
This update will include:
- sandy bridge processors
- higher resolution screens
- larger trackpads
- better battery life
- lighter weight
- small SSD for OS
- light peak
I’m unsure of whether this will be a significant redesign. I’d say there’s a 50/50 chance of redesigning and going with the liquidmetal alloy currently used in the iPhone SIM card ejector tool.
SO MANY I-DRONES!!! I swear, if they made traktor for linux, I would be done with mac and pc.
oh they also say the 13" MBP will now have 3 USB ports that’ll do
Honestly I haven’t checked the hardware scene lately, but if its the i3-530 (laptop edition whatever) then its not sandy bridge. Honestly when i heard rumors I figured that sandy bridge wouldn’t be in this.
Or will only the 13" have the i3? Im getting lost in all these rumors now. If i get one I will probably sell the combo hdd to an older mbp user and put in a 256 SSD…just seems like less problems in the long run.
On these new hard drives im guessing file routing will be pretty botched.
i thought that the moment i saw the lion interface , no point buying a mac now till they make them all touch screen lol 
If you have a laptop with a multitouch trackpad you won’t need to buy a new computer when Lion comes out. In fact, I find it hard to believe that any of Apple’s computers will be touchscreen when Lion comes out this summer.
I’m hoping for more USB ports please…
Expect 3 ports standard across all models.

Awesome… My MBP from 2007 is still kicking ass and taking names though. 
Thunderbolt… you’re telling me you can play Quidditch on this thing as well!!!
Shit for hard drive space on that entry level 13’’ system. 320gb at 5400rpm? Really?
