wow, big diss to IntelI can't understand how Apple can do this, considering Apple's big thing has been "our things just work", not "high-performance" - nVidia had that big manufacturing flub with a rather large number of their chips including, as I recall, some that were in MacBook Pros? Intel has been making extremely reliable chips for some time now.
Obviously, you don't understand the need for 3D in the 21st Century or you'd never post something so absurd. What good is reliable if it can't run anything? It sounds like someone finally clued Apple into the fact that they're the laughing stock of the computing world having their #1 selling computer have absolutely no 3D power what-so-ever, which is simply unforgivable in 2008 and has utterly destroyed Apple's once reputation for graphics. It's high time they finally started doing some repairs to that reputation.
Of course, now that they've supposedly improved graphics, my new problem is the apparent lack of a firewire port. I want to use the laptop with Logic Pro and my Roland digital piano workstation and guitar and microphone setup which means I need an interface box to the laptop and I would have preferred it be firewire (PreSonus or something similar), but given the potential savings in money compared to an MBP (would pay for the interface AND the Logic Pro software), I'll have to consider USB instead, I suppose. Given Apple's prior push for all things Firewire, they sure seem to be ditching it as fast as they can these days. It's too bad USB 3.0 isn't ready. That would pretty much make Firewire moot.
