Adam lambert sleepwalker So far I have not been impressed

Adam lambert sleepwalker So far I have not been impressed with any of the offerings. Nothing looks good after Blu-ray and Apple and others had to make concessions with bitrate and HD for the internet. But you need remember that iTS quickly beat out CD sales and is still beating out Amazon despite its higher bitrate and no DRM. Convenience and good enough is what matters to most people and having a 1000 BRD in a notebook that dies on battery before I can finish a 2 hour movie is not good enough or convenient. Im not sure why you havent stripped the DRM from your BR movies and stored them on a HDD. This way can travel with them much easier and arent using the originals which can get scratched. Does Apple have to keep making things slimmer now that they have a slim option in the Macbook Air? If you want slim, and dont care about Blu-Ray buy the MacBook Air? Maybe they will even put out a netbook type laptop too? The slimmer thing is a PITA, but Apple still focuses on it, even with the new Nano. Who would have thought it could be that much thinner from the original Nano. The MBA doesnt work because it uses a slower C2D and has other limitations that make it far from ideal in price, performance and connectivity for most people. It has its niche, but its small. Maybe they will choose a slightly thicker and bigger laptop form in order to put Blu-Ray in, and perhaps a bigger battery. Regardless if you want to play Blu-Ray movies or not, few people would not benefit from longer runtime. All of this would be possible with a case redesign widely rumored and a move to adam lambert sleepwalker screens hopefully with 1080p resolution. Larger battery in a larger case to hold a larger optical drive that can only hold 50GB of data, at most and has horrible read times and even worse writing times when compared to Flash and HDD? Does that really seem like an option to you? I think that Steve Jobs sits on the Board of Disney and probably owns more stock than Walts kids. Disney is sold out to Blu-Ray, every studio is sold out to Blu-Ray, every other laptop manufacturer has Blu-Ray options and some are dang cheap. Apples core markets include Video professionals, and in 2005 Steve declared it the year of HD! Its only 3 years late Steve. BR in a home appliance for your HDTV is not the same as BR in a 1000 notebook. If Apple was really all about Blu-ray why hasnt it been in the Mac Pro as an option before now? Why do the posters here think that a BR option in a MB is inevitable when no other Mac has gotten the option despite the more pressing need and lower cost for the Mac Pro. My Biggest fear, as stated here by others is will they do it in October or wait for the big Macworld announcement? Because I think the announcement for Blu-Ray would have to be a sweeping announcement of all new hardware across the entire Mac lineup and cinema Displays. With everything moving to 16X9 screens and getting Blu-ray support. What will this do for sales? Will there be an explosion of sales for ugly Macs with large tray-loading BRD? Retro appeal. Or are you talking about 1000 Macs with 1000 BRD? Not much of a market there. I have literally had thousands of dollars in the bank waiting for the Blu-Ray announcement. They dont get my dollars until they announce it. I only get a new laptop every five years, so it has to count when I pull the trigger. If you want a desktop Mac you may be in luck, but dont count on an internal drive if you want a notebook. There seems to be too much looking at it from your POV and comparing Apple to other OEMs. If you look at it from Apples POV there are plenty of reasons why they wouldnt offer it and some why they cant offer it. Not slot load, but according to engadget they do exist at 5mm. That was almost a year ago, so adam lambert sleepwalker Apple will introduce the very first 5mm slot loaders? I mentioned that article in a previous post. I cant find any evidence to support that theyve even been shown off at a fair at this point. Apple does have a history of adopting a tech an getting the company to be hush hush about it, but this doesnt fit the build as it would only cause the price to be excessively higher. Its not a revolutionary new tech that Apple can by exclusive rights to, its just a slimmer drive. All I have to say is that Blu-Ray video looks simply marvelous on my Mac Mini/1080p projector/ 1 DD DTS system. Anyone who says theres no perceptual difference between 720 and 1080 hasnt spent much time in a side-by-side comparison. Come on Apple, give us Blu-Ray. This must happen sooner or later. Although by the time Apple implement it, the PC world would have moved onto the next 🙄 Sonys first laptop with bluray drive came out about two years ago, and cost the same as a Macbook Pro. Im not sure whats taking Apple so long. Apple is stubborn and Jobs thinks the longer they delay implementing Blu-ray in Macs will lead to better sales of allegedly HD content in the iTunes Store. Seriously, I wish Apple wouldve thrown more of their support behind Blu-ray a lot sooner because we mightve gotten iPod portable files standard on the Blu-ray movie releases. Then again, Apples not the only one Sony been fired up on all cylinders, they wouldve packed UMD discs with the Blu-ray titles to entice consumers to buy the Sony PSP. But of course Sony thinks it wiser to try to sell new releases on UMD for between 15 and 25 which is clinically insane and has hurt the PSP more than they think.
