New MacBook Pros To Sport Light Peak Technology

An anonymous reader writes "Over the past few years, Apple has systematically upgraded the base level MacBook to a level where the difference between the Pro and consumer models were arguably becoming negligible. That's about to change. Apple will reportedly introduce a completely re-designed MacBook Pro this April that will borrow features from the recently released MacBook Air. The new Pros will reportedly come with an SSD and Light Peak technology, a transfer protocol capable of 10 Gbps both up and down. Light Peak, jointly developed by Intel and Apple, will reportedly be an Apple exclusive at first."

"all the Mac users I know have little understanding about hardware, nor do they care to know about the hardware."

Not having to care is liberating.

....

I'll bet it's liberating.

Probably feels good to know that you can easily get ripped off because you have no knowledge about the hardware, so you don't know exactly what your paying for or getting. Not to mention being overcharged for repairs because you have no clue.

You brought up cars today and not needing to know which sparkplug, etc. Well, mechanics have been ripping people off like you for a long time. why? because you don't bother to learn anything about your car, so you are subject to what they say, because you do NOT know better.

That makes you a very uninformed consumer. the type companies like, because they love to rip you off.
