Macbook?

[Bret Williams]

[Bob Roberts] “p.s. “MacBooks Pro”…kinda like “Attorneys General”…right?”

You pluaralizing things for no reason? MacBooks. MacBook Pros. Nobody would say MacBooks Pro. Or Attorneys General for that matter.

The new MacBook isn’t hampered by mirroring, so it can support a 23″ display, while also supporing it’s 13″ display.

[Ed] “Sure it will. But it won’t support Motion (officially anyway). The minimum specs for SD work in FCP5 call for 867hz G5 or DuoCore,
HD requires more, but still less than the MacBook puts out.”

Are you guys sure about this? The Macbook has integrated graphics and I was under the impression studio will only install on a machine with an AGP Quartz Extreme or PCI Express graphics card. It’s the reason you can’t install FCP on an Intel mac mini.

My vote says no FCP on the Macbook…

Actually Bret, Attorneys General is *exactly* how you say it. They are attorneys, not generals. General is the adjective, attorney
is the noun. You pluralize a noun, not the adjective.

How I do love a forum that begins on debate over high (or lesser high) tech machinery and quickly descends into grammatical syntax.

Nothing like the cow for a laugh.

I have seen threads where people say they are running FCP5 on their new minis (don’t know if it’s true,
but they’re saying it). As for whether it installs or not, here’s what Apple says on their site:
>>>>>If you have a Mac Mini (Early 2006), the Final Cut Studio (Universal) crossgrade Installer does
not prohibit you from installing the pro applications, but this configuration does not meet the minimum
system requirements for Final Cut Studio.<<<<<< Ed [Simmie] “[Ed] “Sure it will. But it won’t support Motion (officially anyway). The minimum specs for SD work in FCP5 call for 867hz G5 or DuoCore,

Or Jason, you *could* look at it as *ascending*. After all, forums like this often have the worst grammar.
BTW, thanks for “lesser high”, that was a good one. 🙂

I thought about the same thing my self yesteday and did a seach on the mac Mini Intel version yesteday. Someone had asked if they would be able to use Final Cut 5 and I think DVD studio pro from the studio packeds on the mac Mini. Apple replied that though it did not meet the minimum requirement of Studio do to its missing GPU and thus the inability to install Motion, DVD studio pro and Final Cut Pro 5 would work fine. Considering that a Macbook pro shares the same kind of processors the same intel 950 graphic chipset with shared memory, and the same harddrive when one must expect that the Mac book would run Final Cut 5

Hi all,

Hey Steve – you know something I don’t

Actually forget that – most people know lots I don’t…

Do you have any idea when it’s coming out? I know it’s like predicting rain, but I was going to buy my MBP 15 in the next week or so, but if you have some goss on impending new models i’d appreciate hearing it so I can hold off.

Thanks steve.
