One Mountain still got another Mountain high....
Laptops or other gadgets are always improving in terms of functions, aesthetics blah blah n more blahs.
The 15" will appeal to ppl who like a balance of size and power.... great for the well travelled. 17" will appeal more to the pros who welcome the large screen, power and portability (too) and in this model.. the FW800 (it's back). -
yeah firewire 800...wah should be faster than USB 2.0 right? Darn, i think i wait till next year...sekali 20 inch one come out
-
FW is faster than USB 2.0...so FW800 is of cos much faster than FW400.Originally posted by KillerB33:yeah firewire 800...wah should be faster than USB 2.0 right? Darn, i think i wait till next year...sekali 20 inch one come out

Hate to say this but with the same price, you can almost get 2.5 Dell laptops with the same specs -
Some quarters will tell you Dell can't boot up OSX.
They serve different market. -
Costs 5k... Mad... But its making me drool though
-
I'll wait for 2nd generation Intel-Macs
-
Unfortunately, Duo Core not steady yet.
Guys...be patient and wait. -

They serve different market. The cost of running OSX on the MBP is simply too high. -
ah haha ok ok wait till next year...or the year after that.
-
The chips are ok tho... it's the core apps that are 'missing'. Many of them still runs on Rosetta where speed are compromised . Apps that are Universal will run fast with the Dual Core chips in it.Originally posted by M©+square:Unfortunately, Duo Core not steady yet.

Clearly, companies like Adobe adopted a wait n see approach when the first MacPro rolled out. The buzz is there... the pros will rejoice and Adobe announced PS and it's family of apps will turn Universal in time to come. -
The OS is one issue.. there are other elements which made MacPro cost more than a PC laptop. The points are debatable but end of the day, there's choices.Originally posted by Parka: The cost of running OSX on the MBP is simply too high. -
hmmm...memory upgradeable to maximum 2GB only.

Even if have virtual ram (which I seriously doubt), those who have a mac sure got money to buy REAL ram, not those silly virtual rams.Originally posted by KillerB33:Er i thought there was such thign as virtual RAM in Mac?
