Everybody loves to speculate about Apple product releases and damn it I want to speculate too…

Well… I’m not going to speculate… I’m just going to flat out say what I want in my next notebook, and hope it magically comes into existence. If it doesn’t, I’ll be in the area in a few weeks, so I’ll pay Steve Jobs a visit and give him a piece of my mind… or maybe a piece of some cake, if I happen to have some on my person. I like cake… especially yellow cake. I know, I know… it’s cheap and low class, but it tastes so good, especially the Entenmann’s chocolate covered yellow cake. Man, that stuff is good.

So anyway, I’ve read quite a number of articles suggesting that Apple will soon be coming out with a new MacBook Pro. Since I’m looking to upgrade my current 1st gen MacBook and I will never ever ever get my small form factor MacBook Pro, I may as well go for whatever new 15″ is coming out, and here is what I want:

• A video card capable of handling Unreal Tournament 3. Every other game I would want to play would require no where near the performance of the aforementioned, so ya.
• New processors. Give us some of that lower power usage and higher clock speed love the MacBook Air got, even though it doesn’t deserve it
• Hybrid hard drives. SSD is overpriced and pointless… unless you happen to run highly concurrent databases on your laptop computer, and require amazing random seek performance. HOWEVER, I read about some drives proposed a while ago that would have a few gigs of flash and many gigs of platter, that would let you live off flash when you don’t need to access anything that requires spinning, and any time you need to dump the flash to platter, power up for a few seconds to do that, then go back to sleep. Good idea and I want that.
• Who cares about multi-touch? I don’t think it’s really a big deal on a laptop, but if Apple wants to throw it in, I’d be glad to disable it in my System Preferences.

That’s it, I guess. I hope whatever is coming out, comes out soon, since I want to spend spend spend. No saving! Just spending!
