Which poses a question,. On the surface it makes these new models very attractive with the Core2 Duo now in the MacBook. I would have thought they would have waited a little while to sell some more MacBook Pro's before putting C2D into the MacBook.
I would think, and this is where the question comes in, that from a "consumer" point of view doesn't it make it hard for them to work out what they are getting for their extra $1000 (roughly)? Yes, I know the MacBook Pro has dedicated 128MB video and the MacBook has shared video and the screen size is bigger, etc etc but I'm sure when some customers are just "looking" at the specs I'm sure they'll wonder what the difference is in price for the features they get. And I'm sure this could start a big flame war, but I'd be curious on what people think.... Kind Regards Daniel On 8/11/2006 11:08 PM, "Martin Hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well spotted Susan.
