MacBook Pro Reviewed
phaedo00 writes "Ars Technica has an in-depth review of the MacBook Pro that compares performance with a Dell Inspiron running a hacked version of OS X 10.4.4: 'Yes, you read that right. We at the Orbiting HQ were able to have some benchmarks run on an acquaintance's Dell Inspiron 9100 with a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 HT chip running OS X 10.4.4, and decided that including the benchmarks from this machine would prove to be both interesting if not illustrative of what non-Apple x86 machines may be capable of if they could run Mac OS X (legally). Please keep in mind that the data from the Dell laptop is for illustrative purposes only and that no one at the Ars Orbiting HQ hacked a machine. As David Letterman says, this is not a competition. No wagering.'"
does it run World of Warcraft nicely?
If the picture of the women in the photo booth demo is the reviewer, the damn she is CUTE!!!.
Hello from my bedroom, where all the magic happens.
I, for one, welcome our new Pr0nCam overlords.
I love where her mind is. If she is reading this, my name is Hank. I love long walks on the beach. I am into exercising, science, and computers. Though I am geek, I am considered cool amongst other geeks. Also, I am tall, dark, and handsome.
PS: The review was great- so in depth.
You don't have to be smart to use a Mac, you just have to be smart enough to buy one
X is pretty great, yes. I hear MacOS X is great too though, and you can reportedly run X on MacOS X even easier than on Windows. MacOS 1 : Windows 0
I've always thought you should be able to mod just +1, -1, or None, and attach a single word of your choice to describe why, or choose from a list. The choices we have a are crap. I often want to mod someone down for an "unsupported reason" and basically just have to lie.

such a dork... you must be a LUSER. Enjoy your hobby...

It doesn't bother me if you stick with Windows because you want to spend extra time getting X going. I do that myself on my work machine. But don't look down on those of us who prefer MacOS X's user-friendly X integration. Far be it from me to criticize somebody's OS choice, but you might want to keep your anti-MacOS X thoughts to yourself on a site populated by computer geeks, some of whom will gleefully rip your anti-MacOS X opinions to shreds.
This is good. I'm replying on my brand new MacBook just came yesterday and wondering where I lost you... X for me is OS X... X-Windows would be the other X ;-p or X-W, I just don't feel like typing out OS X every time... sorry for the confusion... and I'm also trying to popularize the meme of using Win'r (as in oooohhh you're such a Win'r) for Windows user, LUSER (short for Linux User - from the prior LUG or Linux User Group) and of course the rest of us who use OS X (we don't get to make up our own label... though I've heard Zealot is popular and machead and X'r would fit)
oh well, it was pretty late my time when I replied so probably wasn't the most lucid thought process happening.

The term "luser" is already in widespread use, and not in relation to Linux.
