Over
at Arstechnica, Jacqui Cheng has done a nice job of reviewing the
MacBook Pro against the PowerBook G4, a Dell Inspiron 9100 running OS X
10.4.4, and a iMac Core Duo in the benchmarks.It performs amiably against the rest and, there are some surprising results that show up from the Dell. Of course the MacBook Pro wins overall, but never the less it's always interesting to see what comes out of some of the runs. Add the built in iSight camera, which is great for those that travel, or are abroad. The down side to it is for those in the government that might not be able to take a camera in a secure area. D'oh Also one of the newest additions is the MagSafe. Basically it's a power cord that connects to the laptop via magnets instead of the your normal plug. Pretty sweet, so say good bye to having your laptop yanked right out of your hands, or off your desk. Conclusions: Pros: Significant speed bump for Apple's pro notebooks Beautiful, bright display Built-in iSight Thinner than G4 predecessor Dual-link DVI Cons: MagSafe comes out way too easily under imperfect conditions Wider than G4 predecessor No Firewire 800, only 400 Built-in iSight |
