Default MacBook Pro review

Nice little read...some people don't think that waiting for rev. B is worth it I see.

I certainly think it's worth waiting for Rev. B ...

-8x Superdrives (I believe they now have 8x superdrives of the same measurement requirements that the powerbooks use)
-FW 800 (although FW is loosing ground to USB 2.0, it'd be nice for legacy item support)
-More USB 2.0 bays (many PC laptops have at least 4, many PB's only have 2 if your lucky)
-Lithium Ion batterys (why didn't you use them Apple?!)
-Intel counted at least 40 bugs in the Intel Core Duo Yonah CPUs.
-Better video card option (Apple has never offered good video cards on any other computer but the insane powermac)
-Good BIOS and EFI support

I know I certainly won't be buying one of these until Apple covers at least 3/4 of these things.

You think it's worth it...but you're complaining?

Surely you jest? Apple would never do that...

Apple purposely took the CSM out of EFI (which is supposed to allow EFI to run BIOS) ... hmm that's definitely not ironic ...

Mmm yea sorry thought you said that B is worth it since I thought the period in the "Rev." was not for an abbreviation and infact a period therefore giving me the impression that you had said:

".B is worth it I see"
