gavbon86: Oh wow, I did not see that coming! Also, it's technically the same role I occupy.

RyanSmithAT: There's no native LFC?! 🤦‍♂️.

RyanSmithAT: I have to say say, I didn't see that coming.

gavbon86: 🙁 I didn't know him personally but I've heard many great things about him.

gavbon86: I would have loved that, for the same reason as you! I was well aware of who he was, just never had….

gavbon86: RT im feeling wild tonight sir, please add 25 calories to my sandwich.

I suspect the smallest model may get a 13" 1280x800 widescreen too, considering that as of the Aperture 1.1 update, Apple has arbitrarily (and very annoyingly) removed support for my 1024x768 iBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz, and is saying that a minimum 1280x780 screen is required, even though no such laptop is available yet from Apple. I'm most interested in a smaller model though, so I have to wait regardless. Even if we don't get Blu-ray drives by the time Merom is incorporated into MacBook Pros, in the very least we'll have 8X DVD-R support as well as dual-layer support.

Moreover, Boot Camp and Parallels' Workstation both will be improved by then, and Apple's pro line of laptops may just have Blu-ray drives as well available as an option. By the time Merom is introduced later this year there will be even more Universal Binaries available for the platform and hopefully by then all of the issues with the current MacBook Pros will have been worked out. I would recommend waiting for a Merom version if you can. The PowerBook to MacBook Pro upgrade, purely from a performance stance, is looking very impressive already. If you disable the second core, the G4 1.5 actually pulls ahead of the Core Solo 2.0.

Under QuickTime we see a full 50% increase in performance over the PowerBook G4. Disabling one of the cores does significantly level the playing field, although the Core Solo at 2.0GHz still manages to be a bit faster than the G4 1.5. The MacBook Pro is ridiculously fast compared to the PowerBook G4 in converting MP3s using iTunes: the encode time is around 35% lower on the MacBook Pro. The first two tests here both happen to be multi-threaded so you'll see results from both the Core Solo and Core Duo setups. Not only is this interesting to look at, but there's also a good possibility that the future iBook replacement will have Core Solo as a processor option.

Just like in my iMac Core Duo review, wherever benchmarks/applications were multi-threaded I tried turning off the second core on the MacBook Pro to give you a good idea of what a Core Solo would be performing like up against the PowerBook G4. Although personally I keep my notebook on almost as much as my desktop, boot time is important for traveling where I'm constantly turning my machine on and off. While the PowerBook G4 boots (from power on to desktop fully loaded) in just under 50 seconds, the MacBook Pro does it in just over 30 seconds.

The MacBook Pro boots much quicker than the old PowerBook G4, much like the iMac Core Duo boots faster than the iMac G5. First off, we've got the good ol' boot test: Obviously the MacBook Pro has an advantage there because of its newer hard drive, however most of my tests aren't very disk bound minimizing the impact of differing hard drives.

a MacBook Pro 2.0GHz.īoth systems are configured the way they were from Apple, with 1GB of memory but the original hard drives in each. That being said, I can't get away without putting it to the test so here we have it - a PowerMac G4 1.5GHz vs. Everything is a lot more responsive and the system as a whole feels desktop-fast. Just scrolling through a Finder window is so much faster on the MacBook Pro than on the old G4.

Wa_cq_url: "/content/to the MacBook Pro 2.0GHz, I should say that actually using the machine felt a lot faster.
