New Apple 13" Macbook, now renamed 13" Macbook Pro has Firewire

[lamarzocco]

Just announced at Apple's WWDC, all notebooks, including the Air have been updated... especially lowered prices!! Biggest news IMO, is the re-addition of firewire on the uni-body 13" Macbook's which they are calling them Macbook Pros.

Aso, Quickitme will run at 64-bit... (for those worrying that integer-float conversion at 32-bit will result in some loss :-) )

Its nice that the MacBook Pro 13" now have firewire:))) I am disappointed that in Canada there is not a price drop of $100 like in US. Price here remains at $1399 canadian.

I will wait for awhile to see if price gets adjusted in near future.

 

I was thinking of Mac Mini but its easier to upgrade memory and hard drive in laptop. I intend to change hard drive in laptop to SSD and upgrade memory to 4 GB myself.

 

Still have not decided on external dac yet. really do not know how Apogee Duet compares to CA Dac Magic or Musical Fidelity V-Dac

I'm happy about renewed firewire support.

 

The old White Macbooks are down to $750 refurbed from the Apple Store. Hard to justify the mini at that price, though it does look awful cute.
