Nice. Only Months after all the other Core 2 laptops were released and still only 600-700 dollars more than the top PC.

not that bad a price...
i am pretty sure i am getting a mac pro tho...i need the speed and hdd space
- tkmeister0
should i buy 2.16 or 2.33?
i don't know if i need a super fast one since i mostly do web.

for 5 hundred looks like your getting 1 bg more ram and bigger video memory... I think i would do that, for the faster chip. your talking 15" right?

Personally I'm still holding out till Adobe pull their finger out and release all the new Adobe/Macromedia apps late next year(or whenever).
Cause these computers are still running the old Adobe/Mcrm stuff in emulation and I figure by the time they release there will be newer, cheaper, faster models out that seriously tear it up even better than these bad boys (which I assume would be faster than my current system but still).
Is always a question of "How long can you wait?"
....gotta admit they look pretty cool tho
- tkmeister0
probably early 2007. i kinda wanna wait for that.
then again, i should buy before 06 ends for the taxes deduction.

now i use my old 867mhz g4 powerbook at home. upgrading from that to core2 duo will be amazing. that's like 20times faster than what i am used to.

(Oct 24 06, 07:30)you mean, a big mac?
because 200GB hdd space on macbooks pro will say goodbye to the speed. the drives are 4200rpm!!! not like it's apple's fault though..I just got a 7200rpm 100GB drive for my mb, now only waiting till it comes back from the repair with FU€&^N SHUTDOWNS fixed!!%^!!!!!

I love my mac pro but...it came without a wireless card so I had to schlepp it back to the apple store and pay a fwe hundred bucks to get something installed that is pretty basic--suprising that the top of the line mac ships without a wireless card. so make sure you order it with a wireless card. also, it has no mic and i'm having a hard time finding one that will work...any suggestions? just need something that will work for skype.

yeah, im talking the desktop mac
you can put 4 750GB drive in it
that's 3 TB
i have a powerbook now and i love it, but i see that a desktop will always be faster and hopefully last a bit longer
so i am looking at the mac pro and a crappy lappy for portability

No harm in waiting for Adobe CS3 and Leopard built in. Then they shall blaze.

- ribit0
