New MacBooks – But Where’s the Firewire Steve?

New Macbooks announced and no Firewire port! So you have a copy of the fantastic iLife suite on your shiny new Mac but forget iMovie because you can’t get your video onto the machine in the first place.

Oh, I see. You have to use an inferior USB connection, to bad that all three of my video cameras have Firewire connectors! Lovely new Mac, fantastic body, great screen and trackpad! But unless Apple wants to buy me a new video camera, I will not be buying one. That reason and that I only buy the 17″ model, oh wait! They didn’t give the 17″ model a nice new shiny update. I feel a little screwed by Apple today.

Gripe over.

Listen to “Geek, Actually” (the netcast), Jacob and I discuss the new MacBooks.
