can do photoshop and sims2 but once you upgrade to macbook pro, the difference when u go back to mb is really painfully slow :S

err.. not that "sloooooww" la. If you working with heavy task and require gc (graphic card) such as gaming, MB will be slow in this case, thanks to GMA950 Other than that, it won't.

amryf83,
It should be sufficient, unless you're planning to do them simultaneously; perhaps the 1st and 2nd is ok to do simultaneously but it's gonna be difficult to be editing your photos and working with CS whilst gaming, right?

i just wanna know is there a huge difference between intel GMA 950 and Ati X1600? or perhaps i should just wait till june after the mac conference, Who knows they might launch something new....

using a GMA 950 is like using normal windows lappy leh
better ATI than ever..beautiful grafics there..

It not urgent.. wait till the WWDC in June. The new Macbook Pros will have LED ligthing for the displays...

kwekeugene,
It'll be great if they could do something about the weight - though for a 15.4" Widescreen, the MBP is considered pretty light-weight already but still.... I do feel the burden *grins*

amryf83,
A separate/external (whatever the term is) graphic card will always give you better quality when compared to an onboard one. Plus, it doesn't utilise your existing RAM, giving you additional RAM to work on

There ain't anything new Expecting "santa rosa" MB which will have intel graphic X3000

Some thoughts about the X3000.

I hate Mac. I'm sorry. XD
But I think they're good in the sense that they can't have viruses the way PCs do.

Dude, how on earth they got X3000 on this date {11-26-2006, 10:19 AM}
Do you know got GMA3000 and X3000? GMA3000 is so-called overclocked version of GMA950. And GMA3000 is ready in the market, btw it only for desktop

--edit again--
I found another link which was much useful and X3000 just release.
