It is no ATI or nVidia however it is not a complete waste. <BR/><BR/>I just recieved my 13" MacBook and can say I am really pleased with it. The first thing I did was install Aperture on it and gave it test drive. I ran several tests against my 17" MacBook Pro. Both systems have a 23" Apple Cinema display attached to it for proofing.<BR/><BR/>There was a significant diffference in ares such as color saturation and sharpness. There were also differences in shading and highlights. The Pro far outways the MacBook. However when I worked on a few photos just with MacBook and took them to print the results were beautiful!<BR/><BR/>MacBook is great entry product for those users wanting to progress to more advanced use but without breaking the bank. After all I don't think Apple ever intended this MacBook to be for Pro users. It is a way to bring Core Duo power to more mainstream users.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601962.post-1150278480922720312006-06-14T05:48:00.000-04:002006-06-14T05:48:00.000-04:00Apple does sell machines today that run and suppor...Apple does sell machines today that run and support their pro apps. And they make a good distinction as well as they give a good hint which ones are those. One could also complain "how can car makers in good conscious sell" cars that don't fit into their pro F1 racing. Yet they do and don't receive much criticism for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601962.post-1148841666865604512006-05-28T14:41:00.000-04:002006-05-28T14:41:00.000-04:00I disagree with the previous comments - who would ...I disagree with the previous comments - who would spend extra money on a macbook pro if it was the same spec. The fact that apple are giving consumers near professional end machines is commendable, but they wont make money in the pro market (where the money is) if pros can get away with buying cheaper machines. Save up for a pro.

How can they in good conscious sell machines today that don't run or won't support their pro apps? They should have at least offered an ATI X1300 card or BTO option on the high end model. Instead they were kind enough to offer us a black version for $100 extra. It is an odd enough scenario to make me question that this was not once considered. Maybe some of want a 13" pro model and are willing to pay for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
