Wow. I'm in. The show has the same energy as always, with tons of eager Mac-fanatics, enthusiastic vendors, and of course media everywhere.
First off, since I'm a hardware guy, I had a chance to play with one of the new 17-inch MacBook Pros. They only have four demo units here on the show floor, so I was lucky to get a bit of time to play with it. It feels amazingly solid, much like the 13-inch MacBook and 15-inch MacBook Pros introduced in October. This is an especially impressive feat for a large machine like this.
The new model weighs 6.6 pounds, which is a slight reduction from the previous model's 6.8. Also very impressive given how solid it is. Build to order options include an antiglare screen, faster 2.93 GHz Core 2 Duo Processor, 8GB of RAM, and various hard drives and solid state drives. Right now they're predicting a ship date at the end of January, though that is subject to change.
