MacBook Mutiny

For about a year and a half now, I've been solely using Apple's MacBook Pro (15" display, Intel Core Duo 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9600 Pro) - since I bought it, a couple of updates had been introduced, and I was waiting for the next one, so I could finally change it (after ~350 charge cycles, its battery only lasts ~10mins nowadays - sweet LAPTOP, right?).


And here's what they came out with, last Tuesday. Wow. Penryn and the multi-touch system introduced on last month's MacBook Air. As a confident MBP user, I can't exactly say I'm thrilled... And neither could (almost) everyone else - check out an excerpt from the Engadget coverage:

Aw snap. It finally, really happened... kind of. Apple has just dropped a nasty refresh on its MacBook and MacBook Pro lines [...]

And then they started to ask around what people would like to see in the next MacBook Pro. HDMI, perhaps? Blu-Ray? An SSD option? A better graphics card? Or something revolutionary, such as the premiere implementation of that WUSB technology?
