[jwkay]

Have just been pointed to this review of the MacBook vs MBPro & PM G5.
Pretty impressive results!

Hehe..

I mean, we all know the intel GPU isnt quite a dedicated ati card as in the MBP when it comes to games, but to all those people who say it sucks at Final Cut, Motion, Photoshop, etc... suck it.

This might be the funniest post ever on macrumors... Pretty surprised at the result, but very glad to see it as a MB owner.

wait...

isn"t one of the syst. req. for Final Cut Pro a non-intergrated grahpics card? which the macbook lacks.

This puzzles me... People say Motion won't run for crap on a MacBook, and yet this benchmark says the MacBook pwns the PowerMac G5 running Motion?

This puzzles me...

Final Cut Studio is not supported on MacBook

If you have a MacBook, 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.

See the Final Cut Studio system requirements for complete requirements.

Note: The integrated graphics processor in the MacBook does not permit float processing in Motion and will result in degraded performance and other issues in Motion and other Final Cut Studio applications.

Aha, so it won't stop you installing it, which is nice and unlike Aperture which won't run on a machine with a GMA950.
I hate it when system requirements stop things from installing on lower specced machines, that's just wrong. Popping up a message saying 'your computer is below the minimum system requirements' is fine but stopping it from plain installing is stoopid in my book.

I'll be a little more excited when I see someone reputable like Barefeats do this...
