[quote M A V I C][quote Lew Zealand]MAVIC, have you done the side by side and can you quantitate the differences for us?
There's no real need to do side-by-side tests. It's sort of like asking if a 2.13GHz C2D will outperform a 500MHz G3. Of course one will outperform the other, the question is: by how much in typical use? And is that difference worth $500?
The MacBook Pro will outperform the MacBook on Tiger, QuickTime, iPhoto, iMovie by a far, far narrower margin than the difference between a 2.13GHz C2D and a G3/500.
