What I want in my next MacBook

macbookproThe MacBook Pro 15″ is nice, but to be perfect, it would need :

  • a higher resolution screen. 1440×900 is too low, 1600×1050 would do better. And antiglare please. I’m buying a laptop, not a TV set.
  • 3 or 4 USB ports, not 2.
  • a SSD (say 128 Gb) and a hard-disc (500 Gb).

The 17″ fits the bill for the screen and the USB ports, but I want a laptop, not an anchor. For the double disc, I will have to hack it myself with one of these disc-in-DVD-slot kits. My plan was to buy about end of this year, but I might want a bit to see if these aluminium thingies will evolve.

Due to some incompatibilities with software I really need (GnuPG support in Mail), I may have to wait for Snow Leopard as well.
