Apple outs Core i5, Core i7 MacBook Pro

Hmmm I don’t want to buy a MBP for statuses or etc. I am looking for a new environment and I don’t like using pirated OSes as others do here. Been there done that and it’s really frustrating. I just want to know it’s performance. I am trying to pursue myself in the IT field so I need this good computers I can afford of to inhance my skills and some first hand experience. I don’t want to look a social climber or an upper class but sad to say people look at you like that if you had one of these MBP nowadays. It’s like Alienware or some other stuff out there. I only see upper class men as people with there own personal cars and not with their family. And I don’t have that. I can afford mbp if I like only for doing those hard work. Mainly robbing the bank, snatching expensive watches and accesories even stealing mbp from Starbucks. So much for that but well I’m going to try this mbp someday if all people or 50% of some people with laptop will buy this brand.

I have owned both a pc and macbook pro. Mas maganda talaga ang macbook kung hindi ito overpriced. At marami ako kakilala na bumibili ng mac para lang i post ang pic neto sa facebook at dalhin sa starbucks para mag wifi. Hindi praktikal mag macbook kung pag iipunan mo lang. Kung may pera ka talaga, go for the macbook. Kung di ka naman upper class, wag na mag feeling.

so sad the 13 inchers missed the fun… but then again, if apple did that, then they’d lose a lot of money for the mainstream demographic buyers will surely go for a powerful, cheaper, and more mobile lappy than those gargantuan 15 and 17 inchers…

To appleboi:
The truth about Macbooks price being that high is not really and merely pertaining about specs. They are priced so sky high because it is a marketing strategy Apple adopted, BRAND POSITIONING is what it is. Same with Sony Vaio brand, it isnt a Mac, but it is also an expensive brand. In fact Vaio’s specs could even be higher than Mac’s. Don’t even think that A Mac could be better than Fujitsu, but they are almost equally priced.
I owned a Mac last 2007 but sold it to an acquaintance who acts like a social climber. She didnt care what the specs are as long as its a Mac that she could afford to buy, a 2nd hand.

Too bad for the 13″ model. It could really use a speed bump with an i3 processor.

Does any of these macs have HDMI out?

too expensive to be practical.

Yes, these are a little expensive compare to their counterpart.. the MSI core i7 cost P99,984 and the Acer Aspire 5942G for only Php 109,992.. based on Villman pricelist

you will be paying for the brand not for the unit. i would rather buy for other brands that are of equal in quality as Macs and save the extra money for other wise usage. buying MACS is already extravagance

what!!!!!to much expensive. . . . pangarap na laptop. yun ka. sa’kin

i can afford but not willing to spend that much for a laptop! LOL

wooh! look at those prices! :))

Here in the Philippines, people use MacBooks for aesthetic purposes. It has become a “status symbol”, to picture the owner as someone who can afford, or to say he/she is rich.
Ask most of the owners of the Macbooks pertaining features and performance they like or prefer than other laptop/netbook brands, they really could not tell the difference.

I made a similar blog post regarding the MacBook Pro in my blog; pero dito converted na ang price to pesos. Grabe sobrang mahal tlga ng Mac! wah.
A MacBook Pro 17″ price can get you 3 or 4 laptops with decent performance(or far superior performance,depending on your needs). :D
Oh well, if you have the money and want to work/play with style, then I think a Mac is the way to go :D
