This post is titled MacBook Pro by author SoulJah. Gotta hand it to 'em. When they come out with Intel powered notebooks, they bust it out with a vengeance. Quoted from Engadget:
Yes, this is the one you've been waiting for (unless you've been holding out for an Apple tablet PC). It's the first Intel-powered portable from Apple, and it's called the MacBook Pro. That's right. Breaking from its long-standing PowerBook and iBook labels, Apple has created a whole new brand to commemorate its first Intel-based portable. As expected, the new portable is powered by an Intel Core Duo processor at either 1.76 or 1.83GHz, 512MB - 2GB RAM, FireWire 400, two USB 2.0ports, ExpressCard/34, MagSafe power, 802.11g (AirPort Extreme), Bluetooth 2.0 EDR), gigabit Ethernet, backlit keyboard, Apple remote input, 15.4-inch 1440 x 900 display, ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with either 128 or 256MB of RAM and dual-link DVI (for 30-inchers), an 80GB or 100GB drive, and dual-layer DVD burner. It's an inch thick. It weighs 5.6 pounds. It'll run Windows. We think we're in love.


I'm not in love per se, but it's rather tempting. Oh not sure about the running Windows thing, maybe a misquote. It'll be rather interesting running this thing against comparable Yonah based, Dual Core laptops though. The fact that their marketing line alludes to the fact that Intel processors will get much more work done in a Mac is kinda hyperbole at best.
