And that's all! Time for some hands on!
Q: You've put a lot of work into the new touchpad, do touchscreens not make sense?
A: Steve: so far it hasn't made a lot of sense to us.
Q: Are we going to see a netbook?
A: Steve: In terms of netbooks, that's a nascent market that's just getting started.
Q: Concern about the glossy screens. Are you going to offer another option?
A: Steve: We're going all glass -- we won't offer another version. Phil: You offset the reflection by the brightness, and consumers love it. One of the great things about a notebook is you can turn it however you want!
Yeah, nice try, but that's kind of a pain
Q: What's up with the 17-inch?
A: Tim: It's being refreshed today as well.
Phil: "We have the best HD movie and TV options in iTunes."
Q "Blu-ray?"
Steve: "Blu-ray is just a bag of hurt. It's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace."
Q: No Blu-ray, and display port -- why no HDMI?
A: Steve: HDMI is limited in resolution. Phil: for typical computer use, display port is the connector of the future.
Q: Do you have first dibs on this NVIDIA chip?
A: Steve: We're the first taking it to market, but it's up to them.
And Steve is back. "The will be on the web today. So what we'd like to do is have a Q & A session. I'm going to ask Phil Schiller and Tim Cook to come up. A few caveats, we can?t answer questions about the quarter ending, and secondly... 110/70... this is Steve's blood pressure." HUGE laughs and applause. "This is all we're going to talk about Steve's health today."
Some video of someone using the new trackpad. This looks like it's going to take a lot of getting used to.
Oooh, some nice close-up shots of the new MacBook Pro. Here's what we're bummed about -- no matte finish for the display? You know, we use these outdoors, this is going to make it kind of a pain. Apple, consider an alternate version.
"I've got a video." Ive talking about the construction. "The new MacBook is remarkable..." Very earnest stuff. Now we're hearing his description of the process again -- seems a little redundant. They're clearly very psyched on bringing this new technique to the whole line.
"So we think this will be a huge success. So two new notebook families, we're building both in a whole new way, from a slab of aluminum..." So the Brick rumors were just the Air process applied to these new MacBooks / MacBook Pros. Makes a lot of sense.
It has the same casing, LED backlit display, glass trackpad... the whole nines. Just smaller. Looks like those leaks we saw were right on this too.
"But we've heard that people want a metal enclosure, faster graphics, and a lot of them want LED backlit displays... so, we figured out a way to bring these to the MacBook line."
"Of course that one more thing is the MacBook for 999 USD!!!!!!!!!!."
"We're introuducing a new Cinema Display -- our first with LED backlighting. It's got a cable with three connectors: a MagSafe, you can power your notebook, 2nd is a USB port, and third is Display port."
"We're putting the 9400M in the Air, adding a 120GB hard drive, and we've got a 128GB SSD as an option -- in addition we're putting in a mini display port."
