Default Intel macs announed

Running Dual Core Yonah chips. Apparently the new "MacBook Pro" is the fastest laptop ever, is thinner than the older 17" powerbook, with a LCD display that's as bright as the Apple Cinema displays :eek3:

What's an Intel chip doing in a Mac? A whole lot more than it's even done in a PC.
is that the best they can do? this kind of marketing is what pisses me off about Apple. can't they market themselves without taking shots at the competition? i've never known Microsoft, nor Dell, nor any other PC manufacturer to take direct shots at Apple. their pride must be hurt after making the switch to Intel. that's what i gather from that gem of a phrase..

anyway, i'm curious about these benchmarks. a year ago apple was touting that they were significantly faster than Intel.. now suddenly Intel is 4x faster? :thinking:

And they're cheap too, considering what you get (At the $2500 price point)! Cheaper than a comparable Dell laptop, but faster, with longer battery life, better styling, better graphics card, built in camera...

A mac is cheaper than a dell feature to feature???? :crazyr:

Interesting. I was hoping for new iBooks only because that's going to be my new computer in the next year.

well, considering the customer base for PC users always use the same shots against Apple, there's a good reason for it. Why do you personally not like Apple besides their "marketing decisions". That is what they are going for. :dunno:
