MacBook Pros Upgraded and Shipped

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the still-waiting-for-wow-benchmarks dept.

Moby Cock writes "Apple Insider is reporting that Apple has started shipping the new MacBook Pro with an upgrade to the CPU clock speed. The two models now sport 1.83 GHz and 2.0 GHz Core Duos (up from 1.67 GHz and 1.83 GHz). A 2.16 GHz upgrade is also available. The price point remains the same." Dear Apple: Slashdot needs to review 5 of these indefinitely. Thank you XOXO ;) Seriously, i'm waiting for someone to give good benchmarks on these- especially testing for Warcraft. Now that it has a new Universal Binary I can't wait to see how it holds up against a modern windows machine.

    Are you actually using one? Does it deliver the same experience as a Powerbook for existing powerpc applications? I'm tempted because I need a windows pc, but I don't want my garageband program to run slowly. Any feedback? Will I be disappointed?

    Hey, btw, check out my new flash puzzle game: Traffic Jam

    You want to get some work done? Buy a laptop.
    You want to play games? Get a Playstation.

    $2300 vs $400.... it should be an easy choice.
