The MacBook is out. and by all rights it looked to be the thing to have. Right up untill I read that it has 64mb of Shared Vedio Memory.
I'm not saying that there is anything overly wrong with this if all you want to do is watch DVDs or surf the net. But you can forget about doing anything that requires GPU power such as the lastest games.
PC laptops have been using this system for years. and it was my hope that Apple didn't start using it. I have owned a few PC laptops with this and I've been sorry that i did. I would rather buy a 2nd hand Ibook 12" G3-500 with the 8mb ATI GPU.
I'm sorry to say that this one point will stop me buying it. Sigh, and it even came in Black. I have always wanted a back laptop.
