Probably going back to grade school and using it for things like Print Shop, games and talking to other students at other schools over 300 baud modems.<\/p>\n<p>I thought about getting a Power Mac a couple years back around the time Apple switched to Intel chips. The most appealing part of OS X was it was built on a Linux core and that provided a very good foundation. Developers (mostly non-Windows) were using it and really liked it.<\/p>\n<p>My laptop is now over 5 years old and it&#8217;s about time to get a newer one. I&#8217;ve been waiting for the new MacBook Pros to come out for a while. Rumors are they are coming tomorrow. Without an event planned, I wouldn&#8217;t expect to see any major changes. With that in mind, I&#8217;d like to see the following in the new 13&#8243; MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Higher resolution, 16:9 display instead of 16:10<\/li>\n<li>RGB LED instead of White LED backlighting<\/li>\n<li>Blu-Ray drive<\/li>\n<li>USB 3<\/li>\n<li>Lighter (&lt; 4 pounds)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The upside to no major redesign is I&#8217;d avoid what seems like early adopter problems that plague Apple. Also, I hope they fix their problem with 3rd party SSD drives (although I&#8217;d get an Intel one anyway).<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I want a light and silent laptop. If this refresh is crappy, I&#8217;ll be giving the Dell Vostro V13 a hard look. I thought I&#8217;d see a lot of people try and turn them into Hackintoshes by now.
