Hot on the heels of Apple’s new MacBook Pro models comes reviews from PC folks at CNET and Laptop Mag:
We’ve generally found these new Intel chips, which started turning up in systems around January, to be faster and provide better battery life than their older Core 2 Duo counterparts. Our Core i7 MacBook Pro blew past previous MacBooks, as well as other Core i5 and Core i7 systems in our multitasking benchmark test.
So, CNET says they’re fast. What of the PC folks at Laptop Mag?
Best of all, even with the jump from Core 2 Duo to Core i7, Apple has managed to deliver all-day battery life. These are collectively welcome improvements, but are they enough to justify the premium? Yup.
I lust, therefore I am a Mac user.
