MacBook Pros Upgraded and Shipped
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.
what the thingy says
I can answer that: Poorly. A modern Windows machine will always outperform a MacBook in games. More hardware, more options. Especially if you talk price-matching, we know MacBooks aren't exactly cheap.
some of you haVe Hubbard and Mike 7o stick something
My god... I think I've just come.........
Oh... wait... It was just a slashdot editorial...?
You're kidding me!
What... You mean they're pushing Apple press releases as if they're god's gift..?
Surely not!
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
People need to run Windows only programs on Windows, dumbass.

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.
