We announced all of the models as they were released last week, but as well as all the new things Apple's new laptops brought along, they also saw a few things disappear, too.Here's a quick list of what wasn't part of Apple's announcement last week:
- no Blu-ray -- Apple never believed in it anyway
- no more matte panels -- it's glossy all the way for Apple's laptops now
- no HDMI, and DVI is out too -- Display Port and Mini Display Port are, according to Apple, now an 'industry standard'
- no Firewire for MacBook users -- though MacBook Pros still feature the connector
The switch from IBM's PowerPC to Intel processors was the biggest move, but it seems to have paid off because the California computer giant's sales have continued to grow since then.
Nevertheless, a lot of buzz has been created on some Internet forums complaining about what these new MacBooks are missing ...
