NY Times and a MacBook Pro

The New York Times is taking note of Apple’s MacBook Pro, and has an article up entitled “Apple Laptop Has Looks and Brains”. You can tell from the title that the writer is pretty impressed with Apple’s new offering.

REMEMBER the famous five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance? If you’re a fan of the Macintosh computer, meet the five stages of switching to Apple’s new laptop: lust, anticipation, delight, dismay and waiting.

Ordinarily, it’s not really news when a computer company introduces a new laptop model. You don’t see newspaper headlines blaring, “Gateway’s New P32-XC5 Adds Faster Processor, Third U.S.B. Port.”

But the new Apple MacBook Pro ($2,000 and up) is a different story. Although it looks nearly identical to the company’s existing 15-inch PowerBook, something radical is going on under the hood.

The reviewer really does his homework as he hits on the biggest problem with the MacBook Pro and her early adopters: the code is still being translated, and is not made for the Intel processor. A very good read.
