MacBook Pro!
People that know me will know that I have been saving up for a Mac. I have a small bundle of cash at the moment which I have been itching to spend on either an iMac or a Powerbook. I have been looking at them for ages, even visiting the new Apple Store at Meadowhall to stare at them through the window in the same way some kid called Charlie stared at the Wonka Bar.
Todays daily visit to the online Mac store frustrated me, It was down. It's still down now as I write this (8:50pm GMT). But when I visited Apple.co.uk I couldn't help notice the huge bright blue banner that was staring back at me. A typical "Steve Jobs style" Microsoft bashing slogan.
Looks like Apple picked today to launch the new MacBook Pro, the PowerBook replacement by the looks, a new iMac (Yes, another one. Making mine at work now 3 Generations old) and an FM Radio accessory for the iPod Video and iPod Nano.
For now I'm going to concentrate on the new object of my affection. The MacBook pro.
This PowerBook on steroids is now 4x faster with an Intel Core Duo processor (I'll let them do the explaining), a built in iSight camera, Front Row software(no remote mentioned though),Apple Remote and an iLife 06 software bundle (including he new iWeb software) to get you off and running.
More, More you say. Well you shall have it. It also has a "much" brighter screen than the PowerBook and a power adapter.
The idea looks great, especially as I have a 16 month old daughter who regularly likes to see what daddy is doing with the "shiny" on his lap. I am sure that all of you reading with kids will know what I mean.
All I can say is that I now need to save a little more money as the prices start at £1429 inc VAT but you just know it will be worth it.
Check out the full details over at the Apple website.

"Whats an Intel chip doing inside a Mac? A whole lot more than it's ever done in a PC."

"The new power adaptor with MagSafe connector is designed to magnetically guide your cord into place and disconnect smoothly if someone (else) trips over it."
