I just hope I can play Red Alert Aftermath on it :) I read Leopard is coming out early 2007, not summer 2006. Anyway even though it comes out next year I can still install it on my Mac.. yeah if you guys want some windows videogame action its better to go with the Pro series since the regular MacBook wont be able to handle your games.

So that should be a selling point. It looks awesome, but then again I need to see it live in order to judge, nothing looks as its picture. Hell I dont look like any of my pictures :P Btw, Late this summer I believe or Mid-Summer new operating system Leopard is due out to replace Tiger, so waiting for a month or two would guarantee you a pre-installed version on your Mac :P Don't you think?

I will mention you my top benefits. - Monitor Spanning - Up to 2GB of Ram - User replaceable Hard drive - higher screen resolution what i hate - glossy screen - larger sized laptop compared to the 12inch Also the 13inch is just a MacBook and the 15inch and 17inch are a MacBook Pro. I also dont think there is anything u could do on the new MacBooks you couldnt do on the older iBooks. Hell I could do everything I am doing on my Dual 2Ghz G5 PowerMac at work on my crappy old clamshell I sold yesterday.. I just do it slower :) dude you alone just on the top of your head mentioned like 6 benefits. I will mention you my top benefits.

But that's my opinion i never used a MAC before.. please someone tell me how someone who already owns an Ibook can benefi from the 13" Mac Book pro I saw the Link … and i have to say, i don’t know what the difference is .. inno yeah sure ore processor power, more space, better resolution, more line outs.. especially the Optical Digital Audio,oh and Isight i think that’s cool, I think the 13″ Macbook Pro is a pimped up version of teh iBook, people who are getting it aren’t going to use it for things they weren’t doing on the Ibook.
