jamesi said:i know im being bitchy (i havent eaten all day ugh) but i honestly thought it was pretty obvious that a computer being fast was beneficial. how is a faster chip not beneficial? it will do all of your tasks quicker so i dont understand your reasoning at all. sure there are other benefits to the dual core such as less power and less heat (ive heard) but i was under the impression a chip being fast was a pretty big plus

bbrosemer said:There is no way the MBP is a Pro computer, the Pro maybe could use this computer for anything other then video editing, there is not enough processing power in this to do what a video editor needs to do, there is no video editor that could use the MBP as a replacement to a PowerMac, also think about this that Pixar needed how many Computers all hooked together to process just 1 frame.
How can you say this knowing that Dell puts out a more powerful video editing Laptop that being the XPS.Timepass said:No the MBP is a pro computer. You are comparing a Desktop vs Laptop. Anyone who uses a laptop can tell you that you have to give up a lot of things to gain portiblity.
Compare laptops to laptops and desktop to desktop. Take the MBP and compare it to pro lv laptops across the board you noticed a trend. It is in the high end there and is comparitly a pro lv computer.
Desktop have always and will always be more powerful than laptops. For very heavy lifting (aka a lot of video editing) desktop are the only way to go. They can put in the extra power and hard drive space.
