…and they're running clearance on refurbs from Apple of the 17s right now, since that was the notebook the retina killed in case you didn't notice.

REALLY would like to get one, but it's hard to justify right now.

Onkyo? They made great stereo amps. [nt] - MacHead, 06-22-2012 20:50 (Views: 34)

The speakers are good for laptop speakers - Sycraft, 06-23-2012 06:27 (Views: 47)

Decent built-in speakers in a laptop are indeed a mean feat [nt] - MacHead, 06-25-2012 15:56 (Views: 27)

No retina display? ;) [nt] - Progressivebreaks, 06-17-2012 20:00 (Views: 29)

how's the trackpad compare to the Macbook? - P. Briscoe, 06-15-2012 20:55 (Views: 58)

I don't use Macbooks all that often - Sycraft, 06-15-2012 21:04 (Views: 58)

Still a trackpad though [nt] - pudds, 06-15-2012 21:03 (Views: 32)

This. I bring a mouse almost every where I bring a laptop. [nt] - Citizen Z, 06-16-2012 02:15 (Views: 38)

Trackpads are useless in my design apps - Glenn, 06-16-2012 13:07 (Views: 50)

For sure - Sycraft, 06-16-2012 05:17 (Views: 62)

Nipple-mice are better than trackpads, IMO [nt] - pudds, 06-22-2012 14:31 (Views: 37)

Are you talking about trackpointing devices? - JJJ, 06-22-2012 21:27 (Views: 40)

Hate 'em! [nt] - Glenn, 06-25-2012 16:42 (Views: 27)

Yea the eraser things. Much more accurate IMO. - pudds, 06-22-2012 21:39 (Views: 38)

I know HP uses them..... on some of their models. [nt] - Ordeith, 06-15-2012 20:59 (Views: 35)

if you've never used one, you're missing out. - P. Briscoe, 06-15-2012 21:02 (Views: 48)

A tiny square of sandpaper that feels as high-quality as the door panel in my car.[nt] - Paul, 06-15-2012 22:41 (Views: 52)

So it feels like...um...more refined sandpaper or something? - Phred, 06-15-2012 21:28 (Views: 38)

if you've used a unibody Macbook for any length of time... - P. Briscoe, 06-15-2012 21:36 (Views: 56)

I haven't, and most of the laptops I've used have been Dells. - Phred, 06-15-2012 21:44 (Views: 62)

not saying they go to shit. - P. Briscoe, 06-15-2012 22:06 (Views: 55)

Well, I`m not saying they did *anything wrong.* - Phred, 06-15-2012 22:10 (Views: 48)

there is a significant difference in feel, believe me. [nt] - P. Briscoe, 06-15-2012 22:31 (Views: 48)

I think you're being contrarian. :) [nt] - P. Briscoe, 06-15-2012 22:37 (Views: 47)

So wait, am I too dumb to notice the differences, or am I lying about them? [nt] - Phred, 06-15-2012 23:08 (Views: 40)

DuH! Probably both ;) [nt] - Glenn, 06-16-2012 13:10 (Views: 38)

Yes?[nt] - Paul, 06-15-2012 23:27 (Views: 49)

The real difference to me comes after about six months. - Bean, 06-15-2012 21:34 (Views: 65)

yep. [nt] - P. Briscoe, 06-15-2012 21:36 (Views: 42)

I always use a mouse, though I do wonder about a trackpad app for the smartphone at times [nt] - Ordeith, 06-15-2012 21:06 (Views: 29)

The first picture is scary. It's like an SCP article. - Sydwyndir, 06-15-2012 20:20 (Views: 59)

umount to eject thumb drive? - P. Briscoe, 06-15-2012 20:41 (Views: 42)

To be fair, yes, Windows wants you to unmount the thumb drive, too. [nt] - Sydwyndir, 06-15-2012 20:43 (Views: 48)

it's rare, but I have seen data corruption due to unsafe removal on Windows. [nt] - P. Briscoe, 06-15-2012 20:44 (Views: 40)

Can happen on any system if you catch it when it is writing [nt] - Sycraft, 06-15-2012 20:56 (Views: 40)

It is all that - Sycraft, 06-15-2012 20:42 (Views: 44)

17" notebooks, I've never understood them. [nt] - Bean, 06-15-2012 20:49 (Views: 34)

Love my MBP 17". I was bummed when they killed the line. - Mork, 06-26-2012 17:24 (Views: 35)

Portable desktop in my case - Sycraft, 06-15-2012 20:55 (Views: 49)
