The new MBP is looks like a very nice machine. The only gaps I see are the lack of a memory card reader (odd for a laptop aimed at content creators but I guess too many holes in the case mar the aesthetics), and a low screen resolution....

Bummer. The 8800 benches posted here look stellar. Even if they made a low power go8800 that performed half as well it would still deliver a DX10 mobile part that matches the go7900gtx while still providing compatibility with upcoming...

FWIW, initial reports over at Notebookreview.com show the c2d MBP has a much faster x1600 (418Mhz vs 300Mhz), and what appears to be a draft N wireless card. Heat "appears" to be a non-issue on the new MBPs. Arg...the choice...

I'm not planning to go to Vista unless it becomes absolutely necessary for gaming support. Personally, I think DX10 is an attempt to break 3D compatibility to prevent games from running on Linux via wine or being ported to OSX. All of...

That is a nice router, and it does what is advertised. I replaced a netgear WPN824 with it. The netgear would lock up when doing large bittorrent transfers. Anything over 50 concurrent inbound connections would hose the router. The...
