I’ve been using a MacBook Pro for the last three weeks. It is a great laptop, delivering incredible performance, thanks to its Core Duo Intel CPU and high-end ATI X1600 graphics chip—perfect for development work.
After four years with an iBook G3, I’m blown away by how fast things get done with the new laptop. Tasks that took minutes before (e.g., restarting Tomcat) now complete in just a few seconds. The performance boost makes programming fun again. Geert Bevin also reports that the MacBook Pro is faster than his new Acer Ferrari laptop, with compilation taking about 30% less time.
And how much would the Mac Pro laptop cost ?
