Add this to my wish list
I've been waiting to see what the first machines from Apple would be like after their huge announcment last year that they would be moving to the Intel platform. After Steve Job's keynote today, the wait is over.
This thing speaks for itself. I know that it's going to be impossible to get one before the middle part of this year for most people, as the enthusiasts are going to lock up the availability of this new laptop. The specs are pretty impressive, as are some of the innovations:
MacBook Pro At a Glance
- 15.4-inch widescreen display
- 1.67 or 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
- 667MHz frontside bus and main memory
- PCI Express architecture
- Up to 120GB Serial ATA hard drive
- ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with up to 256MB memory on 16-lane PCI Express
- ExpressCard/34 slot
- Dual-link DVI, VGA adapter included
- One FireWire 400 port, two USB 2.0 ports
- Optical digital and analog audio I/O, built-in microphone and stereo speakers
- Slot-loading SuperDrive
- Illuminated keyboard, Scrolling TrackPad
- Built-in AirPort Extreme (802.11g), Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and Gigabit Ethernet
- Mac OS X Tiger with iLife ’06 featuring iWeb, iWork ’06 trial, and more
The new iMac specs are impressive too ... but I still want the laptop more.
Or maybe I should just wait for the Mac Mini to go Intel too...
