Try currency converter, $800 is US dollar.

Brand New Apple Macbook and Macbook Pro!

Well, yesterday Steve Jobs announced new models of Macbook and Pro.

I think it is sweet with powerful graphic cards, clean design, and larger trackpad.

Downside IMO: only two usb ports, stupid mini display port??, no blu-ray, I dunno.. and i dont like the keyboard.

I have Macbook Pro from March, still loving it.

Blu-ray (aka BD) isn't point of consumer yet and Apple has wait for while until BD become point of consumer.

DisplayPort is good, higher resolution and more true computer than HDMI because current HDMI is limited to 1280 x 1080, it won't fit on 30 inches of monitor at max resolution, also DisplayPort is cheaper to produce due no license or royalties fee.

HDMI is good for home theater, TV or related.

DisplayPort is good for computer.

Nice! Im scared to buy new stuff again because all my nice stuff got stolen. I borrowed the PowerMac g4 (mirror door) with dual 1.42 GHz G4 processors, 120 gb hdd and 1 gb of ram. I havent got internet set up on it yet. I got the apple cinema lcd display with adb connector for it, its old model but works nicely.
