Apple, why do you hate me?

Yesterday, Apple released the Intel successor to the iBook: the MacBook [still the worst name ever]. With that, Apple has smashed any hopes I had remaining of getting a 12″ MacBook Pro. And it looks like the nice folks over at The Unofficial Apple Weblog agree with me. The 13″ MacBook, while of a similar size to my beloved 12″ PowerBook, has such an underpowered graphics card [Intel GMA 950 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory] that it’s not even worth getting. Who designs a graphics card that shares system memory? That’s just dumb. So it looks like when I can finally afford to upgrade, it’ll be to a 15″ MacBook Pro. Unless Apple surprises me. But I’m not getting my hopes up.
