New MacBook Pro
Finally, the new MacBook Pros get the Core 2 Duo treatment! And Apple claims that it is up to 39% faster than its predecessor! Anyway, I wonder what took Apple so long to release these Core 2 Duo laptops.
Now that the new 15-inch is once again equipped with FireWire 800 and DVD-Dual Layer burning (these should never have been missing in the first place), I think there is no more reason for me to lust over a 17-inch model anymore. If I do get one of these laptops, it will be the 15-inch model along with either a 23″ or 30″ Cinema Display. This combo gives me the screen estate I need, and the portability when I need it (my previous 17″ PowerBook was great but the extra weight and inches in width really made a difference when I had to lug it around). But wait… there’s still no Intel-native Adobe Creative Suit! Damn, by the time Adobe releases it, the next MacBook Pro will probably be out! Sigh….
does mac feel much comfortable than windows? haven’t tried mac yet…
Very tempting, especially with the double memory and larger HD at the same price. But I’m still going to hold out until Leopard comes out…
