o speed is - as expected - not felt very much higher than the previous Macbook C2D 2GHz.
- For me, unfortunately, that too reflective display. Compared my previous Macbook looks almost like a non-glossy screen.
Conclusion: Those who already have a younger Macbook, for the will in terms of speed does not really do much. From the processing and design forth is the new MacBook Pro but lonely peak. Whoever wants to go like photo editing and has no desire to have to constantly correct position in order to avoid reflections, it should think twice about whether the many positive reasons to make up for the deficiency of highly reflective displays. There are already rumors that Apple is the future yet again offer optional matte display, and so I would recommend that you wait at least until the next generation (in autumn 2009).
