17" MacBook Pro announced...
From the original Analog Industries archive. Some links and images from that era no longer resolve.
If you care about this, you no doubt know already, but Apple announced the 17” MBP today. I need to replace my iBook in the worst way, but not to the tune of $2799. I think I’ll be waiting until the MacBook notPros are announced. I’m of the considered opinion that the 15” will run $999. That would be a pretty big coup on Apple’s part.

when you add applecare and another 1 GB of RAM it comes $3448.00
at least you have FW400 and FW800 on it and the option (at no cost increase) of a 7200 rpm 100GB drive.
still, not the cheapest lappy around. $999 for a non-pro mac book would be nice.
@ boobs,
or you could save $200 and buy that extra 1GB RAM at macsales.com like i did for my 15" Macbook Pro
I worry that we will not get 14" or 15" macbooks (non pro). There's been a lot of talk about 13"ers, but I haven't seen anything on sizes larger than that. 13" widescreen is just not enough...
Word on the street is the low-end iBook replacement will have a 13.3" widescreen LCD. There's no certainly about the $999 price; I could see them starting at $1099, same $100 bump the mac mini's got.
The lack of a 15" macbook would leave a pretty big gap in Apple's laptop offerings in terms of price. That's not likely. Not sure what/how they'll fill it, but I bet they will.
