stlgoalie 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 I am not sure on the iMac's how much faster or better the Intel Duo chips are going to be especially since programs like Final Cut Pro can use the 64-bit G5 processor to numbercrunch. The MacBook Pro (horrible marketing name in my opinion) however looks awsome. The Intel chips are a definate upgrade in the laptop arena. I will be needing a new laptop this fall, and those look like a good buy for me when law school rolls around. Anyone else have thoughts/ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone else have thoughts/ideas. 220405[/snapback] I agree with you that the name MacBook Pro is rather silly, but from a marketing point of view, it makes perfect sense - they probably want to move away from the "i" and have the Mac was part of the name again. Maybe the next generation of ipod will be called "macpods"? I have to say, that, even though I am a Mac person through and through, I don;t mind using the same chip set. As long as the Operating system is what it is: better. I will stick with Mac's. However, I do understand that people are taking this serious. It is quite a change. If you read some of the comments, on the other hand, you get the impression as if the world is going to end... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJay 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Intel Computer Chips... Macintosh Computers... COMBINED?!? I think "my" world is going to end. I like everything to stay seperate, and have its own thing. Everthing is good, sepreate and clean cut. Though I must say, this may make me switch over to Macintosh.I always hated the Macs due to the Apple Processers. Who knows???
