Apple MacBook Pro 'Fastest Windows XP Notebook'?

According to benchmarks carried out by website GearLog, Apple's MacBook Pro running Windows XP is a better Adobe Photoshop rig than any other Core Duo laptop on the market." GearLog ran the same tests that were run by PC Magazine with the Mac coming out on top."

    oh good god. a 8MP image can be printed at 20X30 and look better than 35mm film. Most pro photographers do not shoot at more than 6MP because THERE IS NO USE for higher res right now.

    Do you hear me? Pros are not rushing out to buy new digitals they are getting FANTASTIC results with 6mp right now.

    you weenies that think that megapixels are everything are getting on my nerves.
