[iBook] Apple Announces Intel MacBook Pro

[Angus Wallace]

The whole thing's a bit funny in my opinion.

Remember the hype about the G5 iMac being 64-bit, and how important that was?
Well this new one isn't.

Remember the hype about how great the G5 was? How powerful the Powerbooks were?
Suddenly the new versions are 2x and 4x more powerful, respectively.

They look like great machines, and I'd love a MacBook, but all the marketing
bollocks really bugs me. I'd take their performance claims with a grain of
salt.

Cheers,
-Angus
