Steve said it himself: they want to get away from the term "Power" because they're moving away from PowerPC, and they also want to get the word "Mac" into their product names too.djbeta said:MacBook Pro
I think that name sucks... pretty bad. I'm not alone either.. most people I've spoken to think it bites.
Powerbook was a great name.. why'd they have to ruin it ?
booooooooooo
the features look nice and I dig the darker color.
I wonder how much faster it really is.

Probably saving it for the 17" or perhaps a 20" MacBook Pro.fryke said:What exactly do you mean? I think they should've used the best available processor (2.16 GHz Yonah instead of 1.83 GHz Yonah), but otherwise...
TheRegister thinks Apple's intel computers should be lower-priced, because they now use intel processors. However: I just tried to configure a Dell notebook until it matched the 1999 USD model, and it came out at 2014 USD or something (with a lesser graphics card and an older processor, too..., because neither Yonah processors nor newer graphics cards were available at dell.com), so I'd say Apple's got the pricing right.

They should have stuck with the name "PowerBook" the new name sounds confusing.
Everything else on it looks Good!!!!
