Nic:
I'm curious. What is your thing about the MacBook pro? And at what are
you saying you suck? I got one for Christmas, because my husband observed me
druling over the newest hottest thing at the Apple store that talked. But, I
knew nothing about it, was just intrigued. And at the time, we were faced with
an expensive upgrade of screen-reader which was making me hate that whole
scenario.
Anyhow, no particular reason I was drawn to the MacBook Pro. I'm curious what
you're observing that switchers seem to gravitate toward them.
Thanks. I learn a lot from your posts.
Carolyn

Hi,
Yeah, the new aluminum Macbooks have it too. That's why I know about it. I
didn't feel confident enough to buy a Macbook Pro. I'll never understand why
switchers buy the Pros. I just suck, that's all.

Nic

All MacBooks have had the battery gauge, but it's always been on the bottom
of the unit, on the battery itself. I wasn't sure if the new MacBook redesign
(not MacBook Pro, just regular $999 white MacBook) got that meter moved to the
side, or taken off entirely.

Hi,
I sometimes use the visual button myself. Even the non-pro Macbooks have
this, actually, so it's not exclusive.
As for the redesign, I'll be honest here. I've never seen a Mac Mini
before. Never. I've only seen a Macbook. Never an iMac, not a Mac Pro, or a Mac
Mini. Macbook pros are similar to the regular Macbooks, if not entirely the
same except slightly different hardware. I want to see the difference between a
Mac Pro and an iMac as well. The Mac pro is the crazy Mac that can hold about
16GB of RAM, I think. Or is that the iMac? I'd think the Mac Pro.

Remember that, like the iPhone, the iPad requires a sync to iTunes the
very first time it boots, so you'll need a Mac to get started with it (or a PC
running iTunes).

I think the mini is kind of irrelevant, especially with the iPad
coming on the scene and the bluetooth keyboard support coming in 4.0. Why does
there even need to be a mini when one can just hook up their bluetooth keyboard
to their iPad or phone/touch? I guess because the mini runs mac OS instead of
iPhone OS, but I think as the iPad is developed further mac OS and iPhone OS
are gonna become increasingly similar and the mini will become obsolete.
especially since the mini doesn't have a battery or anything that makes it
portable without having to be plugged in. I think portable, use it wherever
computers are the direction things are heading.
peace and positivity

> Since VoiceOver, and the Mac Mini have been around since 05, this
will be relevant. What is your take on a full redesign of the Mini? Aside from
the back, and insides, the overall system itself hasn't budged in the last five
years. I think the design is starting to get stale, but what do you think? I
also have an idea for the MacBook Pros. You know on the side that there's a
button that is essentially a visual battery checker? Well, for those who don't
know, you push the button & lights will light up. HOw much do you think it
would be to create a more tactile version of this? I only ask because low
vision users with enough vision, and fully sighted people, can press a button
while the computer is off and get the battery status. I'd like to see VoiceOver
users get this convenience as well.
