Apple MacBook pro

Finally the long awaited apple MacBook PRO notebook with intel innside is here.
SNDK had a glanse at it when we was in Amsterdam a while back. We "tested" it at the Apple store. We loved the design and all about it exept one ting. The screen resolution is so bad its a shame. We have been used to run 1600x1200 on a good pc notebook for 5 years now but only apple G4Book supports over 1440 by 900 (native) on a notebook.

Intel Core DuoApple say:
"Powered by a dual-core Intel engine. Up to four times the speed of the PowerBook G4. Eight times the graphics bandwidth. With built-in iSight for instant video conferencing on the move. And Front Row with Apple Remote to dazzle everyone in the room. Wait no more. MacBook Pro starts at just $1999.

New engine, same soul

This is the first Mac notebook built upon the revolutionary new Intel Core Duo — which is actually two processors (up to 2.16GHz) engineered onto a single chip. It provides 2MB of Smart Cache, L2 cache that can be shared between both cores as needed. It delivers higher performance in 2D and 3D graphics, video editing, and music encoding. And the new engine is only part of the story. MacBook Pro has a frontside bus and memory that, at 667MHz, runs faster than any previous Mac notebook. It’s the first Mac notebook with PCI Express, a Serial ATA hard drive and the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 for superfast graphics performance."
