My MBP is an incredible peice of work. Yes, there's the processor whine, but if you read the RedSweater page it tells you how easy it is to make it go away. The battery life has been similar to my old iBook, and suprisingly, to me, it's cool enough …

Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha I mean heck, why don't we compare how long it takes to copy a file on the same volume, and then make grandiose sweeping statements about network speeds? Don't get him started on how OS X takes 20 minutes t…

Quote: Originally posted by Placebo In the MacBook Pro - adding 128 VRAM and 160MHz should cost more than a brand new Athlon64 3500+ and 7800GTX? More? Spec'ing out such a laptop from Alienware quickly brings you over $3000. Well over, with a…

Quote: Originally posted by thegreatluke the RAM cover came dented (which they can't know about, or I'd probably lose my one-year warranty). RAM is user-installable on the MBP, so the fact that you discovered the dented cover while installing…

I'm convinced Apple's going to show gangbuster MBP sales that drive growth even more than iPods (for a change). There were about 3 years of pent-up demand for a genuine PB upgrade, that demand certainly seems to have been expressed as MBP orders, an…

Quote: Originally posted by djmb yeah the macbook pro is faster than powerbook g4, but how will regular macbook compare to the best g4 powerbooks? Well, at the worst case it'll have the same 1.5 GHz Core Solo as the Mini. Here's a few benchm…
