New Imac, MacBook Pro from Macworld
01:40 PM – Shows over folks. Now get out your wallets.
01:39 PM – MacBook Pro orders being taken today, ships in Feb. $1999-2499.
01:33 PM – Specs: 15.4 inch LCD, iSight, thinner than current 17″, remote control for Front Row?. Steve says it’s the fastest laptop ever.
01:31 PM – New laptop! MacBook Pro, no more Powerbook. Intel duo Core! 2 CPUs in every Macbook pro (since it’s a dual core chip, not actually two physical cpus). 4-5x faster tha existing PBs.
01:30 PM – PowerBook G4 on screen… Talking about trying to get a G5 inside. WE’ve consulted everyone (photo of pope on screen, ha!).
01:29 PM – Showing a commercial for the intel macs now.
01:26 PM – One more thing.
01:21 PM – Other developers are talking about universal binaries. Quark, Microsoft, etc. Rosetta is the emulator that runs normal PPC apps, seems to handle Office just fine.
01:19 PM – Pro apps will be Intel ready in March. You will be able to trade-in your discs for the universal ones for $49.
01:17 PM – The new iMac smokes, glad I didn’t buy one recently… 10.4.4 (and bundled apps) is native for the Intel CPU. iLife and iWork ’06 are universal binaries.
01:12 PM – First Mac with Intel CPU today! (obviously excluding the developer units) It’s the iMac, built in iSight. Still has Front Row. The design is the same, so is the price. Intel Core Duo is 2-3x faster. Each core is faster than a G5.
Mac OS X 10.4.1 , QT 7.0 Dual 2.5 GHZ, 4 gigs RAM, 23″ HD display, JVC BR-3000 deck, 5 120 gig LaCie Firewire Drives, JVC 17″ H1700 NTSC monitor, FCP HD 5, DVDSP 4, Compressor 2.0, Motion 2.0

Macbook doesn’t seem to have firewire!, waiting for Apple to update their site to check this.

It looks like a great machine but it apparently doesn’t have Firewire 800. I wonder why Apple would drop that as a feature?

It’s there. Only one 400 port. Specs also state 4x DVD Burner. Would like to see 8X and Dual Layer

exactly….. why not fw800? why not 8x dual layer? why not 17″ (even though I prefer the 15″) sounds great but a few questions need to be answered before putting the old one up on the old auction site. I do love the magnetic power supply connection. some thought ful engineering went into that. hopefully they fixed the clasp issue and bulked up the frame around the disc slot. I can say the wifes old imac is going to be updated soon….. but that has nothing to do with this forum.
Matt thanks again for the post.

Will FCP 4.5 run on the new Macs?
thanks

Nope, not really. Possibly in Rosetta with some hacking, but you won’t really get the speed gains that way.
That said: All pro apps should be universal binaries by March…
Who jumps first?

I might. I have a very old iBook 500Mhz G3 that needs replacing.
But no FW800? Hmmm…PCMCIA adaptor then…for my G-Raids.

No pro apps will run on the Intel machines until their running universal in March.
All the best,
