New Macs

Wow, Apple is not screwing around with their new Intel-based Macs. The Powerbook is history and replaced with the Macbook. Two models to start, both with 15" screens. The iMacs have been replaced with tweaked up 17" and 20" models at the same price points with more goodies.

And the kicker here? They're using dual-core processors. These things will kick the asses of the old Macs quite handily. We have to wait until March to get the recompiled pro apps (like Final Cut Pro, which is what I'm most interested in).

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't do the Mac Mini to start with, but I'm crossing my fingers that they'll do it. Actually, I have to say the Macbook is really appealing because it's a real shit-kicking laptop regardless of the OS, but even more so because editing video on that thing is going to be amazing. Seriously, I want one! I can't wait to see how people do in terms of dual-booting with Windows. I'm sure we'll find out in a matter of days.

Alas... yet another thing I shouldn't be buying. Gonna hold off on this one until people have spent time with them and I actually have video worth editing.
