10/16 New MacBooks and Pros
Well, Engadget kicked ass again, thanks in part (let's get humble, here!) to the hot liveblogging tool that Christoph and I whipped up, and in part to all the under-the-hood stuff that he and Celly have been working on over the past couple months. We can still say that we run faster, on less hardware, than anyone else.
MacBook news was not quite as impressive, but not bad either. To me the biggest plus is that there is now a middle ground between the plastic, $1000 MacBooks and their beastly cousin, the Pro. That's probably a reflection of the ground that Apple's been consistently gaining in the market. They can now compete pretty well in that $1000-$2000 range.
I like the unibody construction idea, but let's hope Apple's minimized the sweltering waves of fury radiating from their metal laptops - I'm sorry, notebooks, putting them on your lap will only reduce your chances of procreating.
